Farm Population Drops Sharply as Census Reports Change in Farm Definition
The Census Bureau and Agriculture Department report about 8.9 million people lived on U.S. farms last year, a 4.3% decline from 1974. The decline may reflect a new farm definition of at least $1,000 in annual agricultural sales, replacing the old 10-acre rule, with about 400,000 to 600,000 people potentially reclassified. The report also notes racial shifts, a rise in young adults, a drop in children, and that about half of farm residents worked primarily on the farm. The citrus harvest for 1975-76 rose 1% in volume and 7% in value to a record 14.8 million tons valued near $1.05 billion, amid predictions of lower farm prices next year due to large supplies and foreign competition.
