Abstract
Many rural people throughout the Great Plains and the Corn Belt have been concerned for some time about the trends of increased farm size and declining farm numbers and the impact of these trends upon (1) the potential for young people to enter farming, (2) the viability of rural -institutions and communities and (3) the economic and political clout of production agriculture. In this newsletter, the current South Dakota picture of farm numbers is analyzed, predictions for the year 2000 are made, and implications of these trends are presented.
