Abstract

Excerpt from the report: Farm mechanization has made striking progress, and this progress, more than any other single thing, enabled American farmers to produce the large volume of agricultural products that helped so much to win World War II. Some of the future potentialities of mechanization cannot be fully measured at this time. Others seem almost assured for the next farming generation. This publication keynotes the place of farm mechanization in the greatest of all farm production jobs, and analyzes the influences of mechanization on farm employment, on efficiencies in production, and on production costs and returns of agriculture.
