No 33767, Agricultural Information Bulletins from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: This report describes a farm typology developed by the Economic Research Service (ERS), which categorizes farms into more homogeneous groups than classifications based on sales volume alone, producing a more effective policy development tool. The typology is used to describe U.S. farm structure.
