Forbes reports:
The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts that the American farm's profits will drop precariously this year.

Just be cautious, do your research and don't bet the farm.

The USDA expects net farm income this year to be $54 billion, down 33.2% from last year. So what does less money in farmer's pockets mean to you?
