Modern farming drives bigger yields per worker
A 5 Great i Producer says modern methods let farmers produce twice as much per worker as in grandfathers era. One farmer, who once fed eight people, now supports 15. In 1812 about 135 percent of the population lived on farms, today fewer than 15 percent do, economists warn the gains may not last.
Fertilizers Seen Key to Feeding More Americans
The Census Bureau projects 190 million people to feed by 1975 as population grows 2 percent annually. With little new land available, farm output must rise on existing acres through soil productivity. The Agriculture Department notes 25 percent of total farm production comes from fertilizers, aiding yield and lowering production costs per unit for farmers.
