production farmers in the country,
and although farms are getting
larger in size, Heuser predicts that
the conglomeration farmer is
already going out of the picture.
A family farm, according to
Heuser, has nothing to do with the
number of people involved, the
number of acres nor the amount of
money it produces. She said that a
family farm is a form of business
enterprise where the en
trepreneurial decisions about
production are made by a family
for profit. While “corporations”
have a bad name in farming, she
noted that many family operations
are corporations.
Calling the evening a
“celebration of those of you who
are food producers,” Heuser said,
“You are the best. You are the
elite. We are the most fantastic
food producers the world has ever
known. We have created a volcano
of food production.” Because of
agriculture’s productivity, she
noted, 98 percent of the population
is released to do things other than
farming. She added, “Farmers are
better educated than the average
urban person.”
The problem in agriculture
arises, Heuser says, “because we
are lousy at marketing. We buy
retail and sell wholesale.”
Heuser predicted that the most
important issue in. the next ten
years will be water, and added,
“There will be a tremendous
change in the markets. We must go
overseas more.”
