The
New Census Rules Trim Athens County Farm Count
Athens County farms drop from 1734 to about 1288 under 1960 Census rules. Kenneth Ackerman, county agent, explains the new definition requires either 10 acres or more with $50 in annual sales or smaller parcels with over $250 in sales to qualify as farms. The change shifts many small parcels out of the farm category.
