Excerpt from The Farm Cost Situation: November 1962; Fcs-33 Prices of farm machinery are likely to continue the price rise which has been evident since the early l94o's. But the rate of increase probably will be less. Prices of motor vehicles have risen 4 percent in 1962 to reverse a down ward price movement which started after a peak in 1959. The trend toward diesel tractors slowed down in 19620 Further increases in numbers are expected, but the rate of increase will be less than in the past few years. Self - propelled machines are expected to continue popular possibly even contributing to a decline in tractor numbers. But with larger tractors and more self-propelled machines the total mechanical horsepower used on farms probably will continue to increase.

Excerpt from The Farm Cost Situation: May 22, 1962 However, last year's increase over the 1960 farm production expenses was more than offset by the higher gross farm income. This additional income came about equally from higher Government payments, and from an increase in cash receipts from marketings of farm products. A larger volume of livestock and livestock product marketings, together with a slight improvement in prices received for crops, produced the increase in cash receipts.
