SIU expert links farming to national economy and change
Prof. Walter J. Wills of Southern Illinois University frames agriculture as a complex, global processing system. He cites 8.4 million people in marketing and processing, 1.1 million producers, and a $37 billion output with consumers spending over $100 billion annually. He warns farm numbers decline from 5.7 million in 1949 to an estimated 2.8 million by 1970, urging adaptation to tariff, trade, monetary, and regulatory shifts while noting broader industry links beyond individual farms. He also mentions weekend visits by Mrs. Emma Wright and Mrs. Irene Ballance, and ends with duck hunting regulations and flight speeds.
