In a January 27 1962 note the Lancaster Farming column reflects on an earlier forecast about broiler prices and acknowledges prices rose above 20 cents, then warned the market would soon fall back. It also mentions new ideas: an air track amphibious tractor and prefabricated concrete panels for farm buildings.
At the December Chicago meeting of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers the future of farming was sketched. Air-lubricated plows aided by a power take-off air stream would scour even gumbo soil, enabling more bottoms to be pulled or the same number with less effort.
Letter from a Lancaster Farming reader argues for farmers rights and economic balance in tobacco markets. The writer defends Kentucky growers, discusses land use, property rights, and cautions against restrictive measures that could raise unemployment while preserving farmland and stability in tobacco production.
In 1961 each US farm worker produced food for himself and 25 others, up from four a century earlier. Output rose 2.5 times in the last decade while population grew 1.8 percent annually. Record yields came with the fewest acres planted in 40 years. Per man hour output has more than doubled since 1947, creating a feast rather than famine as prices fall share of income and famine fears recede worldwide.
A 1962 devotional notes that ancient naming reflects character, urges true reverence for God over casual piety, and cites Jesus teaching on oaths and hollow worship. It warns that disrespect comes from both secular and religious people who treat God as unimportant.
