Future prospects in ranching and agriculture outlined
The article outlines 1965 reflections on ranching and agriculture, predicting stable cattle prices, rising land values, and greater water and land use pressures. It notes government pesticide controls, efficiency gains, and the shift of land toward nonagricultural uses, with examples like Washington Dulles International Airport and interstate highways reducing agricultural land. It also cites cow maintenance costs in Texas and Iowa as context for regional farming economics, and ends with community notes on 4-H officer training and homemaker council meetings plus cooking tips.
