The American Farmer
(Continued From Page 7)
The emphasis on management
has brought a new generation of
farmers. They are more
educated and better informed
than generations past.
The third major input is
technology. Combined with the
farmer’s land, labor, capital and
management, technology has
played an important role in the
amazing productive capacity of
the American farmer.

Most companies, when talking about their
products, are quite truthful in what they say.
Their advertising copy is honest, maybe a bit
dramatical, but honest. The trick is that
the reader doesn't assume more than what is
actually being said. Then too, he should fully
understand what is being said. It's easy to use
words like more, better, faster, cheaper, but
these are words of comparison. Be sure you
know what is being compared.
When we say out new liquid supplement
releases ammonia slower, we mean slower
than other liquid supplements, not slower than
natural protein. When we say more nitrogen is
retained by the animals being fed, we mean
more than is retained when other liquids are
fed, not when natural protein is fed. When we
say our new liquid produced cheaper gains, we
are comparing to other liquids and natural
protein supplements. When we say our new
liquid is safer, we compare to other liquid
supplements
You see, we don't mind making comparisons
because we've done the research to know
what our products can and can not do. So the
next time you read ads with words of com
parison, ask yourself "compared to what?".

SINCE 1870
Technology is the development
of hybrid seed. It’s better-bred
animals. It’s disease-resistant
crops. It’s vaccines and other
medications for livestock. It’s
improved pest control.
Modern ' agricultural
technology is responsible for the
so-called “Green Revolution,”
which has given new hope to the
struggle to feed the world.
Technology is the basis of the
revolution brought about by the
acceptance of hybrid corn. If
American farmers returned to
non-hybrid seed - given current
advances in such areas as fer
tilizer and insect control - it
would still require 20 million
more acres, or approximately 29
percent more acreage, to meet
the present demand for corn.
Technology is the result of
research efforts by universities,
agricultural companies and even
farmers, themselves. And
technology will play an even
more important role in
tomorrow’s agriculture.
As world population continues
to increase, the land area
available for production of food
and fiber continues to decline.
Each year, acres of valuable
productive land give way to
masses of steel and concrete in
the form of highways, airports
and urban expansion. More space
is required just to satisfy our
increasing population. And more
people mean greater demands
for more food. The way to in
creased food and fiber supplies,
then, is not through increased
acreage, but through greater
production on the acreage that is
available. That is the role of
research.
What more can be said about
the actual operations of the
American farmer? He drives a
tractor. He feeds cattle. He plows
