Schwitters Sees Burban Culture For Agriculture
Dan L. Schwitters told 43 at a Pro-Ag and Linn County Better Crops dinner in Cedar Rapids that rural America will have fewer farm families but stronger. He predicted an urban rural culture blending farm and city living and a higher farm income relative to the economy. He urged four year engineering graduates for shops and foresaw six and eight row equipment by 1975 with four row following. He noted leasing is not cheaper than buying but helps farmers extend credit to gain capacity.
