Abstract | Project '80 is designed to answer three questions: (1) What will rural Michigan be like in 1980? (2) What can be done to change the course of events in directing Michigan's rural economy? and (3) What do rural people want it to be like in 1980? Faculty members prepared 50 discussion papers which were reviewed by leaders in rural areas and businesses directly concerned with the rural economy. Factors affecting rural Michigan's environment were (1) social economic climate, (2) political climate, (3) supply and demand for rural products and services, (4) U.S. demand for food, (5) U.S. export-import prospects for food, (6) organization of agricultural markets, and (7) demand for United States timber products. Necessary agriculture and agribusiness adjustments in farms, dairy, livestock, eggs and poultry, field crops, grain marketing, fruits and vegetables, farm labor, farm machinery and equipment, farm financing, food wholesaling and retailing, nursery industry, and floriculture were discussed. Natural resource problems were in use of land and water, recreation and tourism, timber production and industry, commercial fisheries, and fur bearing animals. Projection was made of adjustments as they affect rural people and rural living. The appendix contains data concerning rural Michigan and a listing of available Project '80 publications. (DM) |
