Farm Bureau President Looks Ahead
N HIS address before the Iowa
I Bankers Association annual con
vention on September 22, Dean
Kleckner, president of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, Park
^Ridge, 111., said the farm economy
reached its turnaround point in late
1985 or early 1986. As a result, 1987
net cash farm income is expected to
be about $56 billion, up $4 billion
•from last year, and up $17 billion
over 1984. Also, production ex
penses, he noted, have fallen from
$116 billion in 1984 to $96 billion
this year. In addition, farm debt has
•fallen to $160 billion this year, $44
billion less than five years ago.
Farm interest expense is about $8
billion less than in 1982, running
around $14 billion now, instead of
• th e $21.8 billion in 1982.
After giving his audience a look at
the positive facts reflecting a resur
gence in the farm economy, Mr.
Kleckner looked at the future, in
c lu d in g the role Congress must play,
and future developments for agricul
ture. A summary of his remarks fol

g r i c u l t u r e is alive and
growing in America, even in
