Ford vice president Merritt D. Hill told the American Society of Farm Managers in Chicago that management, not resources, is today's core issue for farms. He predicted larger farms averaging 345 acres by 1970, fewer farms, higher gross income, and growth in domestic demand and exports. He urged managers to blend people and tech and warned that farming as a lifestyle may shift to a professional occupation.
