Who Make Up the U.S. Farm Population?

Vera J. Banks

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1986, vol. 03, issue 01

Abstract: It seems like it should be a truism—the farm population is the people who live on farms. And it used to be. But now, many people who live on farms don't work there and many people who work on farms don't live there; even the farm operator often lives elsewhere now. Here are some alternative ways of identifying farm people.
