Possibilities for adjustment in agriculture point to a continuation of rapid change in farm numbers and CAPITAL EXPENDITURES FOR NEW PLANT AND in the structure of agriculture. Scale economies and EQUIPMENT, FOOD AND BEVERAGE COMPANIES capital-labor substitution will likely be continuing !460 trends. In the future, plant breeders will be develop­ ing plants of known composition for specific pur­ poses. \i\Tithe the mphasis on nutritionally adequate foods, farmers will relate production from one crop ,( .
