Family Farm Popularity Is Growing
Callaway County Extension Director Bradley Friesz notes the 1964 US census shows family farms remain dominant, accounting for about 96 percent of farms and 75 percent of marketings. Farms with $10,000 plus in sales are expanding fastest, with 88 percent of such farms being family owned. The economic border at $10,000 sales separates contracting from expanding farms, indicating a shift toward more family operated units. The study predicts continued growth in the $10,000 plus category over five years.
