AniKiiliiue is the nation's
laieest industry. Its total
assets exceed one trillion
dollars, making it bigger than
the automobile, steel, and
housing industries combined.
America's largest labor force
is the :: million Americans
working in some phase of
agriculture from growing food
to selling it at the supermar
ket. Agricultural exports are
the largest earners of foreign
exchange. Food is a product of
agriculture. Is it then hard to
understand why food has be
come our nation's fastest
growing industry? Food is the
foundation of American agri
culture. Food is the fuel that enables
living organisms, from the
single-celled ameoba to the
present day human, to func
tion. Without food the human
race would no longer have the
fuel of life.
It take farmers (those who
cultivate (he land, raise the
crops, and livestock) and
farm workers to produce food.
Kvery farm worker creates a
job for five additional people,
people who produce the things
farmers need, transport farm
products, and eventually
market the products.
Agriculture is directly re
lated lo steel production, food
processing plants, consump
tion of goods, exports, and
easing of world hunger. Forty
thousand people are employed
lo produce the seven million
tons of steel the farmers use
for fencing, building, and
farm machinery. The farmer
uses in excess of 130 billion in
goods and services lo produce
his crops and livestock. In
addition, the farmer con
sumes goods for his family's
lersonal living. The farmer
must buy farm equipment,
fuel, fertilizer, feed, seed,
rubber-containing products,
electricity, and technical
know ledge for maintenance of
his equipment and land.
America depends upon the
faremr lo suport another
million people in jobs relating
lo the exporting of agricult
ural products. Exports pro
vide for 30 percent of total
cash receipts for farmers, nd
account for one out every
three crop acres harvested.
Kvery dollar's worth of food
products exported generated
growl h of $1.05 in economic
activity for an estimated total
of $2. (la in such areas as
transportation, financing,
warehousing, and production
of supplies sold to farmers.
America provides more
food-aid to hungry nations
than all other countries comb
ined. This food aid has proved
to be a two-way street, with
some countries gaining
enough economically to be
come buyers of American
farm products. America pro
moles growth of many third
world countries' economy by
importing food products not
raised in our own country.
In the primary grades,
children first become aware of
the foods they should eat for
physical and mental growth.
They learn that they need to
eat balanced meals, which
consists of foods from the
basic food groups: bread and
cereal; fruits and vegetables;
meat, eggs, legumes; and
dairy products. We could
conclude that food promotes
two kinds of very important
grow th - growth of our bodies
and minds and growth of our
nation's economy, both home
and abroad. As the population
of the United States and other
nations has increased, Amer
ica's largest industry has pro
duced more food ; thus food is
truly America's growth in
dustry, Maybe the next time you
hear expressions such as
"food for thought" and "what
you eat is what you are," you
will remember that without
the food industry, life as we
know it would not be possible,
