Next Farm Revolution Promoted as Recreation for Small Farms
Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Free argues recreation will grow into a major agricultural income source over the next decades. He cites 1.2 million farms producing 87 percent of food, while 2.3 million smaller farms must diversify beyond 13 percent. The department has 75,000 volunteers in 2,000 counties on recreation and conservation programs, with plans to expand to 100,000 committeemen in 3,072 counties. The plan aims to attract tourists and urban visitors to rural areas, offering new profits through guides and hosts amid competition from large combines.
