mean less productivity,
higher food prices, and a
myriad of other problems.
There’s no question that
America has developed the
best agricultural system in
the world. Our abilities
combined with our political
and economic systems and
our natural advantages
make American agriculture
the dream of most other
countries.
If you look at other in
dustries in this country, it’s
not too hard to figure out that
farming is about the only
thing we do better than most
of our foreign competitors.
So why mess it up under the
guise of saving some jobs for
some farm workers?
The fact is that farm
mechanization creates more

jobs in industry, which has
allowed the displaced
workers to find new and
usually better employment.
It would be foolish to stop
now in our quest for better
planting and harvesting
techniques, more efficient
farm power, and improved
materials handling systems.
Agricultural history is
cluttered with
mechanization milestones,
gomg back as far as the
invention of the horse collar
and including the moldboard
plow, the cotton gin, the
gram reaper, the tractor, the
com picker, and the com
bine.
If properly encouraged
and supported, agricultural
research will continue to find
new and better ways to solve
farm mechanization
problems. Admittedly, those
inventions will displace
some more farm labor.
As one who has labored in
the fields doing the hand jobs
for which there were ,no
machines, I’m all for
mechanization resparnh i
whatever form. The sooner it
comes and the better it
works, the happier I’ll be.
I don’t want to go back to
milking cows by nand,
shocking wheat and pitching
manure.
Nor do I want to condemn
future generations of farm
folk to some of the awkard
and wasteful techniques of
today.
