Abstract
Agriculture in the United States is experiencing a period of structural readjustment that ranks with the most profound changes that have occurred since the formation of the union. As one of the most ancient forms of economic activity, it might be expected that agricultural tradition, inertia, and unwillingness to change might be the root causes of the current drastic restructuring.
