Farming Is Still
Leader In State
Half Of Pennsylvania’s Land
Is Still Devoted To
Agriculture
BY F. A. PITKIN,
DIRECTOR, STATE PLANNING BOARD.
(Special To The Post) |
Agriculture continues to be one of the |
most important classes ot industry in
Pennsylvania. Over halt of her land, in- |
cluding that in private wood lots, 1s still
in, farms. This despite the tact. that only
one-twelfth of her people live on tarms.
Once Pennsylvania was a State of
farmers. In 1900 there remained 224,248
farms. By 1930 the number had dwind-
led to 171,419. Liowever, in 1935 the
total had risen to 191,284 indicating
that unemployment elsewhere had caused
many persons to return to farming.
In the State’s early days her tarmers
were nearly self-sutficing. As the cities
and factories grew, farmers began to raise
more crops to sell to town dwellers who
could not raise their own. In doing this
they tended to produce a smaller variety
of things for their own use, until today
they are in many ways as dependent on
purchased goods as are city people. This
means that they need more money in-
come than their ancestors did.
Most modern farmers specialize in one
or two products, and if these fail, or if
the market for them is poor, their grow-
ers are in a much worse plight than are
those who produce a greater diversity.
Fortunately our farmers have maintained
a wider variety of activities than farmers
in most other sections of the country. For
this reason agriculture here has suffered
less during the depression years than it
has in many other states.
Dairy products are the most valuable
division of Pennsylvania's farm yield,
bringing in nearly half of all the cash in
come received. Farm crops, which in
clude potatoes, grain of all kinds and to-
bacco, come next. Third in income value
are chickens and eggs, followed by vege-
tabls, fruits, nursery and greenhouse prod-
ucts, swine, and cattle. i
Very nearly half of the farm land is
used not for crops, but for pastures and
wood lots. Of the land that is in crops
nearly four-fifths is devoted to raising
corn, wheat, oats, and hay. {
