Brunthauer of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service says farm-to-city shifts accelerated U.S. industrialization and that agriculture exports labor brains and leadership to cities. He notes the farm workforce is about 10 million today, roughly 5 percent of total, and that farm productivity rose about 8.3 percent per year in the 1960s, dwarfing industrial gains. Agriculture, he says, built and sustains industrial America by supplying basic needs efficiently.
