Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 3,1973
Official Foresees Agriculture
Of Family and Large-Scale Farms
Dr. Don Paarlberg, director of
agricultural economics for the
U S. Department of Agriculture,
said the trend toward in
dustrialized farms will be
gradual and selective - never
total
Speaking before the 1973
National Agricultural Outlook
Conference, Dr Paarlberg said
he anticipates an agriculture of
both family farms and largescale
units for the decade ahead.
Dr Paarlberg states that, “the
family farm is a very tough
competitor, and a very durable
institution”. On about 95 percent
of United States’ farms, the
operator and his family supply
the majority of the labor and are
responsible for two-thirds of the
Nation’s farm production. He
said that the family farm is not a

York and northern West Virginia,
in addition to servicing local
farmers directly. It will ship
bagged fertilizer products to
other regions.

Ist 1973 Wheat Report Issued
Signups for participation in the
1973 wheat program total 111,065
farms, including 1,971 in Penn
sylvania according to the first
enrollment report issued by the
U.S Department of Agriculture.
This report covers the first 10
days of the Feb. 5 through March
16 signup.
Farms reported as signed up
for the 1973 program through
Feb. 16 have 1,917,394 acres in
wheat allotments, or 10 percent of
the 18.7 million acre national
domestic allotment. The national
high cost method of agricultural
production. “If we stay with the
family farm and improve its
efficiency, the percentage of
income spent for food will go
lower” . . . than the current 16
percent.
Dr Paarlberg outlined several
conditions that must exist for the
family farm to continue as an
organizational structure. It must
be permitted the operational
flexibility that will allow efficient
use of modern technology and
management; farmers will need
good research, education, and
credit, adoption of sound
business principles associated
with cooperatives; and access to
markets. His final condition was
that farms retain the good will of
the public.

throughout 23 eastern states. In
addition to fertilizers, Royster
markets agricultural
chemicals—fungicides, her
bicides, and insecticides—as well
as corn and sorghum seed.
domestic allotment is based on
the number of acres that, on the
basis of the estimated national
yield, will result in wheat
marketing certificates being
issued to participating farmers in
an amount equivalent to
estimated domestic food use.
Participants in the 1973 wheat
program are not required to set
aside land. However, those who
elect to set aside acreage
voluntarily for additional
payment must set aside an
amount equal to 86 percent of
their allotments in addition to the
voluntary acreage (up to 150
percent of the allotment). During
the first 10 days of the 1973 signup
97,651 farms have signed up with
no set-aside and 13,414 farms
have elected to set-aside 502,842
acres. Payment rates for the
voluntary added set-aside will be
88 cents per bushel times the
farm’s established yield times
the acreages voluntarily set
aside.
Data in today’s report for this
first 10 days of signup activity
reflects information supplied by
1,996 counties. There were 2,247
counties reporting during the
first 11 days of the 1972 signup at
which time 227,910 farms had
enrolled with 4,178,000 allotment
acres and 4,373,000 acres of set
aside.
