Our nation's grandest enterprise is our agricultural industry. It
is second to none in terms of assets, workers, and exports.
Agricultural success has be come an accepted fact and is taken for
granted by the majority of the American public. Few believe or are
even willing to consider that the con tinued future success of this
industry is threatened. Yet threatened it is. The resource base of
agriculture is becoming dimin ished through overuse and
environmental misuse. A further complication is the competition for
agricultural resources by other users. The energy, soil, and water
resources cannot sustain agriculture into the far future at their
present rate of use. Something must be done to bring about public
awareness and support for the changes needed to move our nation
toward a sustainable agriculture. More research and funding must be
directed toward this end. Our agriculture educators and other
information disseminators must make sure that the farmers,
politicians, and the public receive the message. Farmers must be
willing to make the necessary changes. Something is being done. Our
agricultural system is in a transitional stage. Traditional
agriculturists are changing some practices and their attitudes."
