Babson View on U S Agriculture as Huge Modern Industry
Over the past quarter century U S farming has become a vast modern industry led by mechanization. Farm income reached 14 billion in 1965, up 1 billion from 1964, with net income per farm at 4150 and farmer per capita income rising 35 percent. Fewer, larger farms dominate as profits offset machinery costs, while exports and population growth sustain demand and prices.
