Farm prices relative to the general price level not observable, and therefore demand shifts Ratio must often be inferred from data on output and prices. Moreover, demand shifts in the farm and food sectors are usually far less dramatic than in many other industries.

Expressed as a rate, the total return to farm assets over this period—that is, the sum of the current return and the real capital gain—has averaged about 8 percent (chart 11). However, it has been significantly below this average in the past two years. A period of depressed asset earnings naturally kindles doubts about earnings prospects for the long run, particularly in an unsettled economic environment such as the current one. However, similar episodes of low earnings have occurred before, as in the early fifties, the late sixties, and the 1976-77 period, but low earnings have never persisted for long enough to undermine seriously the expectations of further real growth in asset earnings.

NOTE TO TABLE 1.16 NOTE. Before Mar. 31, 1980, the maximum rates that could be paid by federally insured commercial banks, mutual savings banks, and savings and loan associations were established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Federal Home Loan Bank Board under the provisions of 12 CFR 217, 329, and 526 respectively. Title II of the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-221) transferred the authority of the agencies to establish maximum rates of interest payable on deposits to the Depository Institutions Deregulation Committee. The maximum rates on time deposits in denominations of $100,000 or more with maturities of 30-89 days were suspended in June 1970; such deposits maturing in 90 days or more were suspended in May 1973. For information regarding previous interest rate ceilings on all types of accounts, see earlier issues of the FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board Journal, and the Annual Report of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
