Farm prices fell again in March.

Share

The prices that farmers get for raw products dropped 0.8% in March, the third straight monthly decline, and were 9.7% below the level of a year ago, the Agriculture Department said. The report said the decrease was mostly the result of lower prices for cattle, hogs, corn and milk. Higher prices for tomatoes, eggs, broilers, potatoes and soybeans couldn’t offset the other declines.
