O'Donoghue [and others] -- Trends in U.S. farmland values and ownership / Cynthia Nickerson [and others]. 330 $aThis book examines the changes and trends in farming and farmland in the United States. Innovations in farm organization, business arrangements, and production practices have allowed farmers to produce more with less. Fewer labor hours and less land are used today than 30 years ago, and practices such as the use of genetically engineered seeds and no-till have dampened increases in machinery, fuel, and pesticide use. Likely aided by the increased use of risk management tools such as contracts and crop insurance, U.S. agricultural productivity has increased by nearly 50 percent since 1982. Future innovations will be necessary to maintain, or boost, current productivity gains in order to meet the growing global demands that will be placed upon U.S. agriculture. 410 0$aAgriculture issues and policies series. 606 $aAgriculture$zUnited States 606 $aAgriculture$zUnited States$vStatistics 615 0$aAgriculture 615 0$aAgriculture 676 $a630.973 701 $aIglehart$b Calvin$01552272 701 $aZsofka$b Grant J$01552273 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779794003321 996 $aFarming and farmland in the United States$93812096 997 $aUNINA
