Urban to rural migration reverses as unemployment, profit from specialty farming, and immigrant land desires drive growth. New England farms number climbs to 162000 from 125000 since 1930. Agricultural cooperatives spur scientific methods, boosting farmers’ profit and self sufficiency. The overall outlook improves to its best since the downturn.
