Farm population declines again in 1976 census data

USDA and Census Bureau data show about eight million Americans lived on farms in 1976, a 6.9 percent drop from 1975. The decline, affected by a new survey method, reduced farm residents by 611000 from 1975 to 1976, with farm children under 14 falling by a third since 1970. The 14 plus group declined nine percent 1970–76, less than the overall 15 percent drop.
