October Prices Received Index Decreased 5.2 Percent
The October Prices Received Index (Agricultural Production), at 87.3, decreased 5.2 percent from September 2017. At 82.2, the Crop Production Index decreased 8.1 percent. At 94.1, the Livestock Production Index decreased 0.7 percent. Producers received lower prices for market eggs, broilers, apples, and potatoes but higher prices for cattle, lettuce, sweet corn, and hay. Compared with a year earlier, the Prices Received Index is up 8.3 percent. The Crop Production Index increased 3.8 percent. The Livestock Production Index increased 14 percent. In addition to prices, the indexes are influenced by the volume change of commodities producers market. Increased monthly movement of soybeans, corn, cotton, and calves offset the decreased marketing of cattle, milk, broilers, and wheat. The Food Commodities Index, at 92.8, decreased 4.0 percent from the previous month but increased 10 percent from October 2016.
October Prices Paid Index Up 0.7 Percent

Higher prices in October for feeder cattle, feeder pigs, wage rates, and hay & forages more than offset lower prices for other services, gasoline, feed grains, and milk cows.

Sens. Rubio, Lee Reaffirm Commitment to Child Tax Credit Expansion
WASHINGTON – Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL.) and Mike Lee (R-UT) today reaffirmed their commitment to expanding access to the child tax credit in the Senate tax reform bill.
“Our amendment would make a small change in this bill, but a huge difference in the lives of working families,” Senator Lee said.
"We need pro-growth and pro-worker tax reform, and that’s what this amendment aims to do by allowing working families to keep more of their own hard-earned money,” Senator Rubio said.
Both senators added:
“Currently, our amendment would offset the additional middle-class relief with a slight increase in the corporate tax rate. We support that pay-for and believe it gives our amendment a good chance to pass on the floor with bipartisan support. But as we have said all along, we are open to alternative offsets that would preserve the 20% corporate rate, which we support as much as our Republican colleagues. We continue to welcome any effort by Finance Committee members and Republican leaders to help us identify other pay-fors to offset an expansion of the child credit.”
