Farm population loss prompts new census definition
The Agriculture Department and the Bureau of the Census will redefine a farm as any operation with $1,000 or more in annual cash sales, cutting about 565,600 “old” farmers from the census. The change aims to reflect larger farm units and nonfarming income, while preserving small producers for federal programs. Also noted are June canning lid inventories and an eggs research program plan.
