MacDonald Farmer Projections For A Modern American Farm
The National Geographic Society and government reports show fewer but larger farms feeding more people. Since 1920 the number of farming families dropped from 32 million to about 10 million while farm size grew from 147 to 389 acres and total farm land rose to 1.118 billion acres. Dairy herds and sheep flocks declined from historic peaks, and horses faded from daily use as farming shifted to motor vehicles and larger farm operations.
