Farm labor shortage grows amid rising dairy costs
C R Schoby president of the American Dairy Association warns the farm labor situation is worsening nationwide. He cites census data showing 1,320,000 fewer workers on U S farms in 1950 versus 1940, and about 600,000 fewer hired hands. He notes expanding farm sizes, declining tenant-operated farms, and displacement of millions by 1970 due to mechanization, stressing mass production alone cannot replace family labor.

Dairy Farmers Face Economic Squeeze Amid Higher Costs
Dairy farmers operate on slim margins as costs rise and milk prices lag, per Owen Richards of the American Dairy Association. He notes increased labor costs and expensive new machinery while droughts and other hazards threaten production. If milk output is to grow for national needs, farm returns must rise to balance higher costs.
