City investors bought 38 percent of sales in 1986, seeking 5 to 7 percent returns, while owner-operators held 58 percent. Surpluses, mortgage costs, and decimated land values push older farmers out, as absentee operations and farm management firms expand, reshaping American agriculture and diminishing rural life.

Outdated candidates loom in 1988 race despite virtues
The morning line surveys a slate of contenders with mixed assets and flaws. George Washingtons Virginia roots and military prestige clash with weak fund raising and poor public speaking. Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln bring symbolical heft but face strong policy and image hurdles. Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D Roosevelt draw interest yet carry costly negatives. Dwight D Eisenhower lacks momentum amid GOP rivalries, with odds cited as 991 to 999 depending on stance on budget and defense programs.
