Extract: Many Canadian and U.S. farming trends ran almost parallel through the midseventies, with increasing farm consolidation, more shared ownership of farms, and dramatic increases in the value of farm capital in both countries. Corporations control about 10 percent of the land in farms in both countries. While Canadian farmers produce primarily for the market within their own Province, U.S. farmers produce for markets extending well beyond their own State. This report looks at these and other similarities and differences between the Canadian and U.S. farm sectors.
