Back-To-Country Movement Deters Rural Population Decline
About one fifth of rural residents are farm people with others in countryside or small villages. Since 1960 rural farm population has fallen about 5 percent annually, driven by teens and twenty somethings leaving productive years behind. The exodus drains human capital worth roughly $15,000 per person, totaling around $12 billion yearly, far exceeding agricultural subsidies.
