Abstract

Excerpts from the report Preface: In November 1967, Secretary Freeman directed the Economic Research Service to conduct a survey to determine the number, kinds, and general characteristics of corporations that were directly involved in the production of farm products. Concern had been expressed over the apparent increase in the number of nonfarm corporations reported to be buying land and initiating new farming enterprises. Few data were available by which to judge the importance of this trend or to evaluate the possible impact on market prices of farm products and on local business communities. This preliminary report summarizes the results of this inventory-type survey for 22 States. Similar data have been obtained for the remaining 26 conterminous States, and a complete report will be issued at a later date. The survey sought to identify every incorporated business that was directly engaged in the production of farm products and to obtain a few descriptive facts about each.
