Fewer farms to produce more food, says OCA By the year 2000, only 50,000 farms will be producing two thirds of the food produced in the I'mted States Over the next 20 years, more than 5(ki,ihhi farms will cease to operate, according to Don FOR A TOP QUALITY CHOICE AND WIDE SELECTION OF ALL YOUR LIVESTOCK NEEDS, CHECK WITH USII WE'RE HERE TO PLEASE YOU II in Lexington 989-8221 ald .Ostensoe, executive vice president of the Oregon Cat tlemens Association (OCA). Ostensoe spoke to the an nual meeting of the Baker County Livestock Association on Saturday, Oct. 11, In Caker. The OCA executive Raid these figures and projection were prepared by the .USDA Econ omic Department. Os'ensoe continued, "Cur rently there are 2.3 million farmg. By the year 2000, this number will have fallen to fewer than 1.8 million. Of this, 217.000 of the largest will each have sales In excess of $500,000 per year, By then, the 750,000 remaining small farms will account for only one percent of our nation's agricultural out put. This study also predicted that, in the year 2000, one half of all farmland will be contained in only 50,000 small farms. Ostensoe said that, "this recent study analysis made the following conclusions: "The number of new far mers under age 35 will shrink by 40 percent to 2B4.000 in the 1994 to 20M period. "Large capital require ments and large farms will tend to concentrate farm wealth in the hands of a few. "The number of corporat ions in farming will continue to increase in number. "By the year 2000, the top one percent !R,ooo farms will account for half of all farm production. "Livestock and cotton, which have recently become much more concentrated, are likely to be dominated by large farms in the future. This trend is now showing in Oregon and the majority of the Western beef cattle states. In 19fi9. the large corpora tw cattle operations produced J percent of all cattle. Today, the large corporate operations are procucing nearly 85 per cent of all cattle. Thus, the trend toward fewer, but larger farms with more specializa tion and much higher capital requirements is definitely on the increase This trend fol lows the demise, in the urban areas, of the family grocery store, the corner drug store and other small businesses. r ."i-Jiiii r?Cr ...wv, r-.-y.
