No Land Shortage Seen by Foy Helms
Auburn University economist Foy Helms argues the U S will not run out of farm land for 25 years or more due to rapid agricultural advances. He says current cropland of about 300 million acres suffices, with peak 350 million in the 1940s, and suggests 280 million acres could meet future needs amid rising yields. He notes unused land and potential irrigated desert areas could expand output. population and prices will drive future production growth. He compares U S efficiency to Russia and stresses changing land use as demand shifts.
