Abstract

Excerpts from the Foreword: Data presented here are preliminary projections of food and fiber production, agricultural income, employment and land use for the United States and its 17 Water Resource Regions. The national totals exclude Hawaii and Alaska. The projections are based upon examination of historical trends, analysis of current relationships and an evaluation of foreseeable developments. The major forces considered in the projections are population growth; shifts in consumer demands, industrial and other uses of agricultural commodities; livestock feeding efficiencies and feed ration composition; foreign demand for agricultural products; and the advance of technology in the production of crops and livestock. The preliminary projections of total domestic production of industrial wood for 1980 and 2000 are taken from the Forest Service report "Timber Trends in the United States." Estimates for 2020 are added to meet the objectives of river basin planning.
