Excerpt from The Agricultural Economy and Trade of the Federal Republic of Germany Agriculture is not a highly profitable enterprise in West Germany. Farming contributes only 3 to h percent to gross national product, yet the agricultural sector employs nearly 10 percent of the labor force; thus, the average income of farmers is much lower than the average in other professions. The future of West German agriculture will not be especially bright unless there is progress in structural reform. More farmers need to leave the land, and the farms need to be enlarged to make better use of economies of scale.
