  • Composite Index, March 2002

    After having turned up rapidly from 0.1% in November to 1.1% in February, the growth of the leading index accelerated to 1.3% in March, its largest gain in 15 years. Only one component fell, compared with two in February; the manufacturing sector lagged behind, as it usually does early in an upswing.

Eastern farmers reported they would seed another record area to grain corn, but less to soybeans.
