Ford plants rely on American farms for materials and food
Ford uses 78,000 acres of cotton and 3,000,000 pounds of wool annually for upholstery and fabrics, 37,000 acres of soybeans for body paint, 40,000 acres of flaxseed for linseed oil, and 48,000 acres of corn for adhesives and cores. The company consumes 5,250,000 quarts of milk each year in plant cafeterias and campuses. The piece credits farmers as essential to producing Ford, Mercury, Lincoln cars, trucks, and farm machinery, linking agricultural progress to transportation advancement and Ford’s founding injunction to keep one foot on the land.
