A million farms to disappear by 1980
The Agriculture Department predicts about one third of U.S. farms will vanish by 1980 due to low prices and high costs, even after a record 1971 harvest. Despite warnings, farmers remain hopeful, noting strong crops and government action under Earl L. Butz. Exports and livestock markets show strength, but rising production costs threaten net income, with notable examples from Georgia tobacco to Wisconsin milk.
