- FUTURE OF FARMING
- Farming has changed so much over the years. Grain will still be big; varieties of corn & other grains will continue to improve. Finding more markets is challenge (e.g., gasohol). Small percentage of acreage in DeKalb County growing sweet corn & peas for Del Monte under contract. Karl doubts that few other plants can be grown profitably besides grain.
