Excerpt from Farm Financial Record Studies: 1935 Farm earnings were better in 1935 than in 1934 for most sections of Illinois. For the state as a whole the combined yields for corn, oats, wheat, soybeans, and hay averaged higher in 1935 than for the ten - year period, 1924-1933. There was a wide variation, however, in different areas in the state (see Fig. Price changes which took place during 1935 favored the livestock farms rather than the grain farms. In December, 1934, bushels of corn were equal in value to 100 pounds of hogs, while by December, 1935, bushels of corn had the same value as 100 pounds of hogs. The price of corn and oats was much higher in the 1935 beginning inventory than in the closing inventory, thus affecting those farms with large grain inventories.
