Agriculture Still Basis for Iowa Economy
Iowa economists Jerald R. Barnard and Wilbur R. Maki say agriculture remains the core export strength of Iowa despite a decline in farm jobs. They project total agricultural employment to fall to about 150,000 by 1974, while manufacturing rises, with trade and service jobs expanding to offset the drop. Iowa will also grow its share of national agricultural exports if marketing keeps pace with rivals.
