【正文】 r initiative in 1933. The scale of agriculture in North Dakota, however, is not a handson family Family Farm 7 operation of mixed agriculture. The typical dryland wheat farm in North Dakota consists of several thousand acres with equipment on a scale to match. The produce of these farms is assembled on 120car trains and shipped to distant markets as part of the international stream of merce. Farms such as this typically are aggregations of fifteen, twenty or more homesteaded quarter sections of land which at one time contained family farms, as witnessed by the numerous abandoned farmsteads, ghost towns, and abandoned country churches and cemeteries memorializing a much larger rural population that is long since disappeared. The thousands of abandoned or obliterated farmsteads and other evidence of rural depopulation in North Dakota, including many nowvacant and deteriorated homesteads which were thriving family farms into the 1970s, are a counterpoint to romantic notions of family farming in the 21st century. Local food and the anic movement In the last few decades there has been a resurgence of interest in anic and free range foods. A percentage of consumers have begun to question the viability of industrial agriculture practices and have turned to anic groceries that sell products produced on family farms including not only meat and produce but also such things as wheat germ breads and natural lye soaps (as opposed to bleached white breads and petroleum based detergent bars). Others buy these products direct from family farms. The new family farm provides an alternative market in some localities with an array of traditionally and naturally produced products. Such anic and freerange farming is attainable where a significant number of affluent urban and suburban consumers willingly pay a premium for the ideals of locally produced produce and humane treatment of animals. Sometimes, these farms are hobby or parttime ventures, or supported by wealth from other sources. Viable Family Farm 8 farms on a scale sufficient to support modern families at an ine level mensurate with urban and suburban uppermiddleclass families are often large scale operations, both in area and capital requirements. These farms, family owned and operated in a technologically and economically conventional manner, produce crops and animal products oriented to national and international markets, rather than to local markets. In assessing this plex economic situation, it is important to consider all sources of ine available to these farms。 for instance, the millions of dollars in farm subsidies which the United States government offers each year. As fuel prices rise, foods shipped to national and international markets are already rising in price.
