Excerpt from Typical Family-Operated Farms, 1930-45: An Historical Look to the Future Prices and weather. These are a major concern of farmers everywhere. Weathex they can't do much about. So fam peo'ple worry about the weather and try to do something about prices as a means of improving their lot. And with good reason, as illustrated in figure 3. Faun-product prices are highly responsive to changes in general economic conditions. Prices paid by farmers, on the other hand, are much more stable even when wages paid to hired labor are included, as they are in these dex series. Consequently, the ups and downs in prices received are very largely reflected in net farm income. These facts were significantly recognized when parity was first defined in terms of gioes which would give farm products a purchasing power equivalent to that in the base period. Even though economic equality is a matter of income, to most people parity prices still seem the chief element of the parity concept. Parity prices calculated in terms of relative changes in the indexe of United States average prices received and paid by farmers from their respective 1910-14 average levels.
