Farmers Becoming Oregon's Main Manufacturers Says NAM
The National Association of Manufacturers projects Oregon farmers will become the state's core producers as urban population grows. Farm population stays steady while total population rises 34 percent from 1950 to 1960, boosting farmer driven markets. By 1975 a farmer feeds 44 Oregonians, farm acreage rises to 22 million acres, and average farm size falls to 314 acres as cities absorb new residents.
