Family Size Farms to Stay in Debate
Discussion centers on preserving small family size farms amid rise of larger commercial units that cut costs and threaten traditional farming practices. Experts weigh social and economic impacts for rural communities and agricultural policy.
Farm size affects unit costs, ISU economist says
Earl O. Heady of Iowa State College argues current production tech makes a 240 acre Iowa farm already efficient. He notes per unit costs fall as farm size grows from 40 to 200 acres, then level off, with fixed costs driving the drop. Larger farms gain little extra advantage once overhead spreads. A separate note reports Mrs Dorothy Wagner, an Australian citizen, reaching Northwood after a two year trip, delayed by visa issues and prior waits in Toronto.
