January Farm Prices Received Index Increased 3 Points From Last
Month
The preliminary All Farm Products Index of Prices Received by
Farmers in January, at 124 percent, based on 1990-92=100, increased
3 points (2.5 percent) from December. The Crop Index is up
4 points (3.1 percent) and the Livestock Index increased 3 points
(2.7 percent). Producers received higher commodity prices for
corn, oranges, broilers, and eggs. Lower prices were received for
cattle, tomatoes, calves, and grapefruit. The overall index is
also affected by the seasonal change based on a 3-year average mix
of commodities producers sell. Increased average marketings of
broilers, cotton, soybeans, and rice offset decreased marketings of
oranges, tobacco, eggs, and cattle.
The preliminary All Farm Products Index is up 11 points
(9.7 percent) from January 2006. The Food Commodities Index, at
123, increased 1 point (0.8 percent) from last month and 5 points
(4.2 percent) from January 2006.

December and 4 points (2.7 percent) above January 2006. Higher
prices in January for complete feeds, other services, feed
supplements, and feed grains more than offset lower prices for
diesel fuel, feeder cattle, cash rent, and LP gas.
