Extract

Hite and Dillman have addressed an issue important to this country in their paper. This issue, our changing prime farmland resource base, has received much attention recently and is likely to receive more in the future. Although the views expressed in the Hite and Dillman article are both original and stimulating, they deserve further discussion. Following are comments on the basic premise of their paper, the role of positive economics in this issue, and potential implications for agricultural land retention in the South.
