The difference caused by one misplaced decimal point can mean financial disaster for a company. The wrong dosage of medicine for a patient can have serious consequences. The inter pretation of one word, or the misplacement of a comma, can change the entire meaning of a sentence. For agriculture, a growing prob blem has been - in many people's image of the farming industry -- the omission of a single letter. Com pare the sentence, "Farming is big business." with the sentence, "Farming is a big business." The omission of the important letter "a" changes a true statement into one that is false. That one little letter can change the attitudes of people toward farmers and agri culture as a whole. Farming is ? big business; it has to be in order to feed and clothe the world's growing billions of people. But farming is not Big Business. The great majority of the nation's farms are family farms. These are families that are almost perpetually in debt for the land, equipment, and supplies they need to produce the nation's food, and to make a living. It is a small business in the greatest tradition of Ameri can free enterprise. Farmers are engaged in agriculture to make a living as free, independent busi nessmen. But farmers are also well aware of the economic facts of life. As agriculture, treated as Big Busi ness, is brought under increasing restrictions and controls, the result can only be fewer farms and the possibility of leu food production.
