The Family Farm in the Midst of a Changing American Agriculture
Abstract
This report first defines a modern American "family farm.” It then discusses recent changes in farms, including number and size, non-farm income, organization, ownership, management, new technology, farm debt, and resources used in farming. Each change is also accompanied by its suggested effect upon family farms. Finally, the report outlines major forces affecting U.S. farms.
