Farm and Home Outlook for 1953

Iowa farm families can plan on another good year in 1953. But with the defense program reaching its peak, the assurance of this forecast is less firm than it was a year ago. Some leveling off in economic activity may develop in the latter part of the year. This calls for no sharp adjustment in 1953 production plans but rather more careful consideration of commitments for the next 2 to 4 years.
