Abstract: Excerpt from the Introduction: A survey was made in 1960 [Farmers and Urban Expansion: A Study of a Michigan Township – ERS-59] in a township lying on the fringe of a growing metropolitan area of the opinions of the farmers there concerning urban expansion into farm areas. The present report rounds out the picture by describing opinions of nonfarm residents in the same township. The study of nonfarm residents was made in 1962. The overall objective of the two studies was to obtain information on attitudes that residents of such an area might be expected to have toward the increasing urbanization of their area.
