100 years ago, you could only farm so much land because you were pulling implements behind horses. 50 years ago you had a two cylinder tractor pulling an 8 foot seeder, swather, thrasher etc. No you have 400 hp tractors pulling 60 feet of iron that can do 3 different things at once. Agricultural technology has improved to the point that we can now do far more with less people. The paradox is that as agricultural growth increases, rural development decreases because people move away, services such as banking and grocery stores close up and you have to go farther for your basic necessities of life.
How do you see your rural community in 10 to 15 years? How much of a part will agriculture play?
