This article appeared in the
September 1975 edition of the
Agricultural Situation, a publication
of the statistical reporting service of
the United States Department of
Agriculture.
As our nation gears up for its
bicentennial celebration, we are
reminded almost daily of "the way it
was" when the United States
declared its independence. Yet there
are those who also see tit is as a time
to contemplate "tire way it will be"
in another 200 years, when America
celebrates its fourth centennial.
Don Paarlberg, USDA's director of
agricultural economics, is one of
those people. Not long ago, Dr.
Paarlberg addresses a group of
agricultural historians and shared his
thoughts on agriculture in tire year
2175.
Below are some excerpts from his
talk:
WILL TECHNOLOGY CONTINUE
TO BE OUR MAJOR
PREOCCUPATION?
Science and technology will no
doubt continue in the saddle for
many years to conte. But our
previous unquestioned acceptance of
science and technology as
benefactors of the human race is now
being challenged.
We will. 1 think, make better use
of our technology in the years ahead
and strike a better balance between
material goals and aestlietic values.
BUT SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY WILL STILL BE
IMPORTANT. WHAT MAJOR
CHANGE MIGHT WE SEE?
The plow, symbol of agriculture
during our first 200 years, will
gradually be retired. We will
rediscover tire wisdom of the Indian,
who. when first seeing a plowed
field, commented, "Wrong side up."
Wind and water erosion caused by
the plow is incalculable. We will learn
to grow crops using minimum tillage,
to control weeds with biodegradable
chemicals, and to apply various
mulches. What's left of our soil we
will try to keep in place.
WHAT TECHNOLOGICAL
BREAKTHROUGHS CAN WE
EXPECT IN AGRICULTURE
DURNIG THE TWO CENTURIES
THAT LIE AHEAD OF US'"
These are just a few of the great
tilings that might happen:
Higher protein content in ceral grains
and other crops.
Hybridization of more crops,
including wide crosses like triticale.
Improved soil management
techniques that would allow man to
farm the fragile soils of the tropical
rain forest.
Biological rather than chemicals
control of insects and diseases.
Control of the tsetse fly, which
would allow Africa to open up vast
areas of idle land for farming.
Successful long range weather
prediction, and possibly weather
modification.
Extension of the principle of
nitrogen fixation to plants besides
legumes, thus reducing the need for
commercial fertilizers.
Desalination of sea water, allowing
human habitation and agriculturi
production, are on land are now
unused.
Conquest of the fuel problem,
probably through nuclear energy.
Greater environmental control for
both plants and animals, leading to
more economical production and
higher, more standardized quality.
Advances in food energy especially in
using plant protein as meat analogs
for the millions who can't afford
meat, milk and eggs.
And, very importantly, advances in
family planning so that population
doesn't multiply faster than the
world's ability to feed itself.
WHAT TYPES OF
INSTITUTIONAL CHANGES CAN
WE EXPECT?
The family farmer will slowly give
up his historic role of supplying all
production inputs- land, labor,
capital, and management.
Agricultural production will require
farms so large-and so much land ,
capital, and managerial sill-that a
single person will be unlikely to
supply them all.
In commercial agriculture, the
nearest thing to the family farmer
will be a farm operator who lives on
the land with the family, rents his
farm, borrows his money and hires
his labor. He will make his own
decisions trading for both inputs and
outputs.
Besides those farms that produce
most of our crops and livestorck,
there will! be part-time farms,
combining the production of food
and off-farm jobs with rural living.
THEN OUR RURAL AREAS WILL
BE HOME TO A GREATER
NUMBER OF AMERICANS?
For the first 200 years we flocked
to the city. But in the next 200 years
we will probably look to the counts^
as a place to live. Rural areas will be
able to provide most of the public
service that were formerly found
only in the cities.
Two centuries from now the "City
Limits" signs will have lost their
significance.. They will mark a
boundary between units of
government: they will have limited
social and economic distinctions.
HOW WILL WE MANAGE OUR
LAND?
Our fust 200 years we spent
cutting down trees, but during the
next two centuries we will put back
into tree lands that were deforested
in order to be farmed but are no
longer suitable for modern
agriculture.
During most of our history we
sought to get the public domain into
private ownership, and to a large
measure succeeded. Now we shall be
trying to detemine the legitimate
public interest in privately owned
lands and how to protect that
interest. Should, for example, the
competitive market alone continue
to determine whether these lands
should be used for cropping timber,
minning, recreation, industry,
airports, of flood control? ?
We are in a transitional period in
regard to land use policy, and it will
be a major issue in the years ahead.
