A Prospectus for Research on the Agricultural Potential of the South*

Joseph C. Purcell

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 1976, vol. 8, issue 1, 63-69

Abstract: The South plays an important role in American agriculture in that it is a major supplier of several commodities. However, due to relatively low yields, the region is a marginal producer of some important farm commodities grown in the United States. Given this constraint, the South still offers the greatest potential for expansion of agricultural output of any region in the country. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate this assertion. A rather broad perspective with implications for future research is provided.
