Farm Structure and Nearby Communities

Thomas A. Carlin and Bernal L. Green

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1989, vol. 05, issue 2

Abstract: Here, we have identified each county in the Nation as a large-farm county, a small-farm county, or a county that tilts toward one or the other. Communities in sparsely settled large-farm counties may face hard times from a lack of nonfarm economic activities. Small-farm counties generally have more diverse and vigorous economies. Community leaders may be able to use such information to interpret changes in their local farm sector and economy.
