Rural Areas Weaning Themselves from Farming

Thomas A. Carlin

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1987, vol. 04, issue 01

Abstract: Farm policy alone is no longer a sufficient development policy for today's rural America. Rural economies have changed over the last 30-40 years, from reliance on farming to greater reliance on manufacturing and service industries. Rural economic development policies need to reflect today's changed rural economy.
