Massachusetts Agriculture Resists Tariff Critique With Growth Evidence
Horace G. Wapin of the Massachusetts Bureau of Statistics of Labor argues for statistical clarity on farming in Massachusetts. He notes that despite lower prices for many products since 1855, farm land values rose, cultivated acreage expanded, and total agricultural output increased, boosting returns on capital. The letter cites census data from 1875 to 1885 and emphasizes efficiency gains through better practices, machinery, and fertilization, while predicting Massachusetts focus on dairy, fruits, and market garden products rather than compete with western staples.
