The USDA says farmers made more in November than in October, while paying roughly the same amounts.
The index of prices received for November was up 4.5% on the month with gains in soybeans, cattle, market eggs, and lettuce, which canceled out losses in hogs, milk, cotton, and hay.
The dairy index was down 1.2% from October, but up 24% from November 2021, with an all-milk price of $25.60 per hundredweight, which was $.30 lower than the previous month, but $4.90 higher than last year.
