Abstract	This report contains 44 tables and 23 figures, along with narrative summaries, that provide an overall view of the farm sector in the United States in 1986. Some of the findings highlighted in the report are the following: (1) farmers spent less to produce their crops and livestock in 1986; (2) government payments to farmers increased, but prices for their commodities dropped; (3) farmers' net cash income rose 10 percent to a record $52 billion, and net farm income climbed 17 percent; and (4) income from nonfarm sources remained important to some farm households, generating $44.7 billion, up 5 percent from 1985. The report includes forecasts of 1987 income and balance sheet data. Results of an analysis based on survey data describe some possible short-term effects of tax code changes on tax liabilities of farm operators. (Author/KC)
