  • Abstract
    Two analytic approaches used in studying the decline in farm numbers are compared. Conventional, empirical analysis is extended by the addition of a causal structure to describe the behavior of the United States Wheat Production System. Such a model, which incorporates the concepts of information feedback control theory, is a powerful tool which can aid in the development of future farm programs.
