approximately 85 per cent of
the American population
w JikeJ and lived on a farm.
Today, only about 5 per cent of
our people farm the land. One
American farmer feeds 53
people, three times as many
as 20 years ago when there
were twice as many farm
; workers. In the last 10 years,
agriculture production has
climbed 20 per cent, on 6 per
cent fewer acres. In 1973,
'Americans spent only 15.5 per
"cent of their disposable in
come for food. Compare that
with Asia where residents
spent about 83 per cent of their
ijncome for food.

has enough left over to export
to other countries, keeping our
balance of trade out of the red

dard of living in many under
developed nations of the
world. Four out of every 10
non-farm jobs are dependent
on agriculture in the United
States today.
