Excerpt from A Summary of Current Program, 9/1/62 and Preliminary Report of Progress for 11/1/60 to 9/1/62

Rapid technological change in agriculture and the tendency for farm production to outstrip growing demands for products gives rise to continued need for economic adjustments in our farm economy. Farms are decreasing in number and increasing in size and degree of specialization. Farm machinery, fertilizers, and other innovations, are substituting for land and labor. These trends, along with continued concern over the use and conservation of the Nation's land and water resources, and with growing concern over the problems of rural people, especially those in chronically depressed areas, challenge the most rigorous research in the field of farm economics. Results of farm economics research are used-widely as aids in management decisions at the farm, area, regional, State, river basin, and national levels.

Farm economics research is conducted by the Farm Economics Division, Economic Research Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture; by all of the State experiment stations; and to a lesser extent by such other organiza tions as private research foundations, commercial research companies, universities, trade associations, banks, and other businesses. Usda's Farm Economics Division currently devotes about 216 professional man years to this field of work, State experiment stations approximately 190 professional man-years, and all other organizations probably devote not more than an estimated 260 professional man-years to this type of research.
