Abstract: Report Summary: This report identifies information that is needed about small-farm families in order to develop policies and manage programs on their behalf. Small-farm research, extension, and advocate activities were reviewed and small-farm issues discussed with persons associated with the government. The information needed about small-farm families included the following clusters: small-farm criteria and definitions, goals and goal achievement, problems and disadvantaged circumstances, human resources, farm resources, community institutions, and the current use of resources to solve problems. No national or state-wide secondary data sources adequately included all of the above.
