Abstract: Farm income reached a record high in 1986, but financial stress in some segments of the farm sector continued. Land values, particularly on cash grain and livestock farms in the Midwest, continued to fall. However, conditions are apparently improving for these operations and for the lenders supplying them credit, mainly due to record-high Government support and lower production expenses.
