Professor says (Continued from Page 132) convenient lower limit for defining a commercial farm, and that in 1976 there were 780,000 farms of this size or larger in the United States. As a group, these farms accounted for 90 percent of the nation’s agricultural production. The problem, Stanton says, is that there are two million other part-time enterprises classified as farms, but whose owners earn marginal amounts from agriculture and depend on other work for their primary source of income. Paradoxically, because these part-time farmers get most of their income outside of agriculture, they may be the ones most likely to survive, he noted. The larger commercial farms, on the other hand, are likely to consolidate even further, Stanton says, even though the largest ones may reach a point where then efficiency actually declines. “Most of the real gams in PUBLIC SALE WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27,1978 AT 2:00 O'CLOCK P.M.

Louis Weiler, Auctioneer Vincent Wendier, Clerk & Conductor H. Clay Burkholder, Attorney Windolph, Burkholder & Stainton, Attorneys efficiency or reduced production costs have probably been achieved by the time a farmer is selling $lOO,OOO worth of produce annually. Yet various in centives push the com mercial fanner to continue to expand,” the economist says. One of these may be the U.S. tax structure itcelf. Despite government proclamations about the need to prevent further consolidation of farms, Stanton says that such devices as investment tax credits, easily available agricultural loans and generous depreciation allowances have encouraged farmers to expand sometimes even to the point where resulting increases in production costs would seemingly make such a move undesirable. Even if expansion brings substantial new debts, lower returns for each unit of production, and other problems, the general business and social climate Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 9,1978 confers status upon com mercial growth, and far mers are not immune to such a widely prevailing in centive, Stanton feels. Another major factor, the economist stresses, is the escalating value of real estate. “Many fanners have made much more from the appreciation and sale of their land than they ever could from crop and livestock production,” he observes. “As a result of such in centives for growth, the divisions between com mercial farm businesses and the very large number of part-time farms is likely to grow more pronounced. The commercial sector will continue to consolidate and the total number of farms can be exptected to decline slowly. The number of part time' farms, on the other hand, may be quite stable or even increase.” While a number of state legislatures have already taken steps to limit or 6 Magic Cow 9 at York YORK - The “Magic Cow”, made famous through dairy media advertising, will be appearing daily this week at the York Interstate Fair.

Limits on sub sidized credit programs would also favor smaller farms. “Some sort of balance needs to be maintained that allows outsiders to enter farming yet encourages those who are now fanning to continue.” “In the long run,” the Cornell economist con cludes, “I am less concerned about the prospect of giant corporations taking over farming than I am about the current prices of cropland relative to its earning potential in farming.” have a chance to learn the tricks of getting milk out of old Bossie at the York County 4-H Dairy Clubs “I Milked A Cow” exhibit.
