Increased Production Offsets
Decline In Farm Population
Although the farm popula
tion across the nation is de
clining steadily, farm produc
tion continues to increase, a
tribute to the high efficiency
of the American farmer.
Farm population stands to
day at approximately ten mill
ion or about six per cent of the
total population here in the
United States, agricultural in
dustry researchers say. How
ever, out of the 62 million per
sons employed in the work
force, four out of ten, 25 mill
ion persons, are employed
somewhere in agricultural in
dustry.
Breaking this down, six mil
lion produce for service farm
ers, another nine million pro
cess or distribute farm prod
ucts. A quarter of a million
research scientists work on
products related to agriculture.
Looking at another aspect of
agriculture, the average value
of assets per farm on a national
basis is $41,500. Average in
vestment per paid farm worker
is $25,000. compared to $8,000
invested by industrial workers.
Farmers are the biggest cus
tomer of industry. Annually
they use 50 million tons of
chemicals, enough steel to man
ufacture 44,300 automobiles
which is still over half the
total annual automobile pro
duction, enough rubber to put
tires annually on six million
cars, and as an industry agri- j
culture is the largest single!
user of industrial products. i
Research in agricultural ed
ucational programs have con
tributed to the American farm
ers' increasingly high efficien
cy. Farmers today are produ
cing bountifully for a popula
tion 32 per cent greater than in
1940. or in other words are pro
ducing 50 per cent more prod
ucts and doing it on virtually
the same amount of land that
was in production prior to
World War II.
Wheat, corn and cotton
yields today are 80 per cent
higher than in 1940. Potato
production has increased 125
per cent per acre. Each cow is
producing nearly 40 per cent
Girls, the men have found a
300 game down there, could
one of you find a 275? That’s
all it takes.

I more milk and each hen is lay
ing 70 pier cent more eggs an
nually. Those are just a few
significant developments in
agricultural production.
An average hour of manufac
turing labor today will buy the
consumer 38 per cent more
bread, 11 per cent more steak,
62 per cent more milk and
over 50 per cent more butter,
75 per cent more eggs and
about 30 per cent more fruit
than it would in 1939. An av
erage factory worker in the
U. S. today with a family of
three spends only one-fifth of
his income for food.
Ten years ago, the same
food would have taken 35 per
cent of his wages; 20 years ago,
41 per cent; and thirty years
ago nearly 50 per cent.
However, the return to far
mers is not always parallel to
the increasing efficiency. In
1948, 51 cents out of every food
dollar went to the farmer, but
today about 35 cents out of
each food dollar reaches the
farmer. This represents the in
creasing amounts of food costs
attributed to processing, pack
aging, and marketing func
tions. When the shopper goes
to the super-market she can
prick up the product attractive
ly packaged in portion of the
size for the family require
ments, and processed in such a i

Today, the average farmer
nroduces enough food, fiber
I ar.d tobacco for himself and
more than 26 other people. In
1951, he produced for himself
and only 16 others. Because of
the rapid increase in produc
tivity, total supply is expanded
at a more rapid rate than prof
itable markets could be found.
The Matanuska Valley today
accounts for 68 per cent of Al
aska's annual production, ac
cording to local researchers.
The Tanana Valley accounts
for another 16 per cent, and the
Kenai peninsula, southwest
Alaska and southeast Alaska
account for the remaining 16
per cent of production.
Production has risen grad
ually since 1949 from $1V2
million to today’s $5,800,000
value. Dairying accounts fori
nearly half of our agricultur
al production. Twenty-three
million pounds of milk were
produced in the state in 1962.
An interesting fact is that
Alaskan cows produced an av
eraged per cow more pounds
of mi’k than those in the low
er 1st,lies. Annual miik pro
duction per cow averaged 8,
210 pounds for the state in 1962,
nearly 1.000 pounds more than
the U. S. average per cow.
In 1962, milk production
