Abstract

This report presents the results of a study of farm labor and mechanization research in the United States. It considers the essential need for increased mechanization in farming to reduce labor inputs and improve efficiency in production. Labor is viewed as a physical rather than a sociological resource. The report provides an inventory of farm labor and mechanization research for 1965 and 1966, evaluates the present status and prospects for the development of mechanization and labor-saving technologies, and recommends the allocation of resources for related research in 1972 and 1977. The Joint Task Force formulated recommended research and objectives for the following Research Problem Areas: Research Problem Area 305--Mechanization of Fruit and Vegetable Crop Production; Research Problem Area 306--Systems Analysis in Production of Fruit and Vegetables; Research Problem Area 308--Mechanization of Production of Field Crops; Research Problem Area 309--Systems Analysis in Production of Field Crops; and Research Problem Area 313--Improved Livestock and Poultry Management Systems.
