Million dollar farms loom in future agriculture
University economists Dr. Walter R. Butcher and Norman K. Whittlesey of Washington State University told the American Farm Economics Association in College Park that farming will become factory like with high prestige, high investment and high volume. They predicted farm sizes will grow, farm numbers shrink, and million dollar capitalization will be common while volume output mirrors factory production. A Wisconsin economist Peter Helmberger added that corporations remain dominant in related industries and that farmer cooperatives lag due to capital access and management issues.
