At the start of 2024, federal agricultural economists were forecasting a tough year for American farmers.


A report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture in February projected a 25 percent decline in net farm income from 2023.


Now, the USDA expects farmers will only see a 4 percent decline for the year, keeping net farm income well above the 20-year average.
