Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack Hails 2013 Farm Income Forecast

Wed, 28 Aug 2013 12:49:45 CDT

United States Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today issued the following statement on the 2013 farm income forecast from USDA's Economic Research Service:

"This week's forecast of a $6.8 billion increase in net farm income is a testament to the resilience and productivity of U.S. farmers and ranchers, and a further sign of the positive momentum they have achieved over the past five years. A six percent increase in this key measure would be the second highest inflation-adjusted amount since 1973, even as agriculture has worked hard to recover from an historic drought and other disasters. I am confident that our farmers and ranchers will continue to show the determination and innovation that has been the hallmark of American agriculture for generations. To help continue their strong momentum, producers and rural communities are counting on Congress to provide a comprehensive, long-term Food, Farm and Jobs Bill that will lend certainty to Federal farm policy - as well as passage of a commonsense immigration reform measure to ensure a stable and dependable agricultural workforce in the years to come."
