NEW RULES: AGRICULTURE newrules.org Today the agricultural sector is experiencing a severe and long term distress. The statistics are disheartening. Fewer than 1 million Americans now list their principal occupation as farming. Seven percent of all farms receive almost three quarters of the revenue from all agricultural products sold.
