and forestry provide many jobs due to the fact that over 80 percent of German land is utilized for agriculture or forestry (Germany, Agriculture, 2007). Nevertheless, particularly in the western
half of the country, the number of farms declined greatly between 1949 and 1997, due to mechanization, which slowly came to reduce the number of people required to produce food
while simultaneously increasing productivity. In 1950, it took one farm worker to produce enough food for 10 people, but in 1996 that one workers could produce enough food for 108
people (Germany, Agriculture, 2007). Many farmers left farming because they were attracted by the higher incomes to be made in industry, but it remains true, particularly in West Germany, that
