Environmentalists attack agricultural pesticides because of adverse drift effects during application, run-off into streams and persistence in the environment. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has banned DDT and currently is considering cancellation of its registration of mirex, 2,4,5,-T, and dieldrin.Emotionalism rather than economics appears to be guiding environmental groups in their fight against pesticides. As agriculture's pesticide use comes under more and more pressure from the public, U.S. farm programs are likely to come under attack because they may have encouraged farmers to substitute pesticides for cropland. The “farm program” for the past decade has restricted acres planted and supported prices of agricultural products. Acreage controls encourage farmers to substitute variable inputs for limited cropland to take advantage of support prices.

“…Evidence suggesting scope for further ad- justments includes some farm management studies which estimate (1) that efficient farm sizes are above most in existence [8] and (2) that present output could be produced with fewer inputs [15]. In 1964 farms with sales exceeding $10,000 had an average value of sales of $33,000 [17].…”

The view that agriculture is undergoing replacement of one kind of human capital by another is offered as alternative to the traditional view that resources are chronically oversupplied to farming. The hypothesis that high level management farms have experienced favorable cost curve shifts explains farm number declines as primarily replacement of many low management by fewer high management farms. The replacement raises efficiency modestly. Occupational supply behavior relations for management levels lead to inferences about income distribution and future structure of agriculture. A price‐income policy is suggested to compensate outmoded management for obsolescence.
