Farm Population Trends Show Shifts Since 1950
Census Bureau data reveal over 10 million people moved from farms to cities since 1950, while 5.5 million moved from cities to farms. Farm births exceed farm deaths by about 400,000 annually, yet total farm population falls from 25 million in 1950 to about 21 million today. Southern states house roughly half the nation’s farmers, with regional declines in the North Central and Western areas.
