Hall of Farmers Have Urban Jobs Report
Ohio Agricultural Extension Service economists say more than half of Ohio farm operators earn part of their income from nonfarm jobs in towns and cities. Improved highways enable farmers to commute, while city residents seek country life for space. About 51.5 percent had off farm work in 1954, with 37 percent working more than 100 days away from the farm. City folks move out, farmers work off the farm for economic reasons, and rural life attracts urban residents seeking elbow room.
