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.

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.”

legislatures have already

ship of farms, Stanton
believes that indirect
methods, such as changes in
tax policy, are more likely
to be effective in preventing
further decline in the
number of farms than are
direct controls.
“One such policy,” he
says, “would be a set of
upper limits on the amount
of government payments
that any fanner could
receive. 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.”
