Farm Output Advances Amid Shifts in Land Use
Farm output on page one shows 325 units, up more than 115 percent as efficiency rises. Fewer agricultural workers now yield more feed and materials on roughly the same cropland, with about 60 million acres shifting from livestock feed to human goods. Experts break the gains into major segments, noting 30 percent of the rise comes from converting land away from horse and mule feed. The remainder accounts for the remaining share with further improvements.
Agricultural gains driven by seeds machines and methods
An Agriculture Department expert attributes postwar gains to better seeds and livestock, more efficient machines, and improved farming methods. He notes that using World War I practices in 1944 would have required an additional 4.5 million farm workers to achieve the same crop output.
