Farm Changes In Thirty Years IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
The Review reports on a 1948 Dundas county study comparing 1918 and 1948 farm data. Farm size rose from 98 to 104.3 acres, small farms (<80 acres) declined, and 24 of 295 pairs merged into 12 units. Average people per farm fell by one, machinery reduced labor, and ownership changes rose with 36 percent one change and 25 percent two. Many transfers stayed within family, with older owners aging toward 70. War economics slightly shifted retirement ages.
