Abstract: Structural changes in West German agriculture in the past two decades and the role of Government programs in bringing about these changes are discussed. These changes include those related to the agricultural labor force, farm size and farming structure, land tenure and consolidation, part-time farming, and marketing systems. The report compares West German agriculture with that of other European Community countries. Other subjects include trends in farm productivity and income and public expenditures for agriculture. The outlook for West German agriculture for the rest of the decade of the seventies is also discussed.
