WHAT IS A FARM
TO MARKET ROAD?
Bulk Of Traffic Flows Over State
Routes That Need Paving.
By E. E Duffy

~ - - D0Ay
What is a farm-to-market road?
A simple question yet much is lie
pendent upon the answer.
Obviously farm-to-market road
is one that leads from farming areas
to the nearest market where the
demand for produce is good and rail
shipping facilities are adequate.
On that basis most all of the
roads in the United States could be
called farm-to-market roads, for
even out in the sparsely populated
sections of the West farms may be
found at fairly frequent intervals.
In considering the wholesale i'm
provement of farm-to-market roads
it is clear that all of them cannot he
given equal attention. 1t is further
apparent that the states and the
United States, through Federal Aid,
can improve and maintain in good
condition only a portion of the total
road length of 100000 miles. This
means that full attention can be
given only to those roads that car
ry the most traffic.
Investigations have revealed that
about IS per cent of the motor traf-
fic is carried over the 100000 miles
embraced in state systems. These
100000 miles of roads are through
routes; they connect all principal
towns and cities; the bulk Of the
farming population lives along them
or but a short distance back on sec
ondary routes.
Inasmuch as the state systems are
still far from completion, the first
Job is the improvement of these
roads to a point where car operat-
ing costs and road upkeep costs are
lowest. A skeleton system OF pave
ments, within easy access of most
farms, will cut transportation costs
far more than a spread out system
of inferior roads, which in them
selves would consume great blocks
of cash in maintenance.
Roads must be built that will per-
NIT the greatest number of farm
ers to have year round transporta-
ton without the load limitations de-
manded of light surfaced highways
when rain and thaws get busy-as is
so often the case on state routes in
agricultural states. The high cost
of light surfacings is demonstrated |
in Minnesota and Wisconsin where |
even trucks collecting milk must |
reduce their loads when the roads
are bad.
Farm-to-market roads vary wide
ly in traffic burden and no blanket
rule for their improvement can be
There are roads, of course,
not included in the state systems ov-
err which rural traffic is heavy.
These roads should be well paved
even if only a nine-foot strip of rig
id pavement can be laid.
