How to Tell How Important Agriculture Is to Your State

Gerald Schluter and William Edmondson

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1986, vol. 02, issue 3

Abstract: More than one in five U.S. jobs stems from agriculture. Some State economies rely on agriculture even more than that. Here are several different ways to judge a State's dependence on agriculture. They can help assess how a State can weather economic storms like depressed farm income and floods of cheap textile imports.
