Blacksburg Virginia—Farm production has risen 42.9 percent over 30 years as capital intensity grows. Economist Dr. Gibson says honey is a key factor, with science improving output per unit of input. He warns traditional small farms face capital needs rising to four-fifths of resources by 1980 and foresees more partnerships and corporate structures to raise equity capital.

Dairying Future Bright Says Tennessee Expert
Eugene Gambill of the University of Tennessee Extension Service says dairying looks strong for future prices due to a sharp drop in dairy cow numbers in January. He notes the 1968 decline was 5.6 percent, the largest on record, with cows, heifers, and calves at low levels making a rapid rise unlikely. Robert L. Carter adds the top price per pound and high net return will favor producers who sell at the farm or other focal points, shaping season outcomes.
