Abstract	Farm production rose 6 percent in 1985 due to record high yields in corn, soybeans, cotton, and several other crops. While United States consumption increased slightly, exports of farm products fell 23 percent in value and 19 percent in volume. Net cash income increased 12 percent due to increased output, lower cash expenses, and unusually high government outlays under the Commodity Credit Corporation program. However, the effect of declining commodity prices contributed to lower year-end inventory values and lower net farm income. When adjusted for changes in the purchasing power of the dollar, both cash and net farm income were less than in 1973-79. A 12 percent decline in land values contributed to a $95 billion fall in farm asset values. Cashflow and solvency problems remained severe in the sector. A $7 billion decline in farm debt and a $2 billion fall in interest expenses provided some financial relief to the farm sector in 1985. (Fifty data tables are provided.) (Author/YLB)
