Abstract: About 5.3 million people lived in households tied to a farm business in 1988, compared with almost 5.0 million in the farm population as conventionally defined by place of residence. The farm entrepreneurial population, those people with an economic tie to farming, includes people who depend on farming for all or part of their income but who do not necessarily live on a farm. This report analyzes census data on income, education, and other characteristics of the group identified by farm occupation and farm self-employment income criteria.
