Agriculture rides out the storm
Barkema, Alan; Drabenstott, Mark (1994-01)
Harsh weather pummeled U.S. agriculture in 1993, destroying crops and threatening a downturn in the farm economy. But while the rough weather took a large toll from many farmers, others prospered. Overall, the industry ended the year in solid financial condition.> Barkema and Drabenstott explain why agriculture is well-positioned for a better year in 1994.

Tenth District economic developments
Barkema, Alan (1996-01)
The Tenth District economy posted a healthy gain in 1995, although growth slowed from the vigorous tempo of the year before. The district slowed sharply in the spring, but activity rebounded somewhat later in the year, in a pattern similar to that in the national economy. The district's main economic engines in 1994--construction, manufacturing, trade, and services--downshifted to a more moderate pace of growth in 1995. Activity in the district's energy industry remained sluggish, due to weak prices for crude oil and natural gas; and financial losses in the cattle industry held down the ...
