Decline in Area Farm Operators Tied to Shifts in Tenancy
SFA professor Robert S. Glover reports in a study covering eighteen East Texas counties that farm operators dropped from about 59 000 in 1940 to 36 400 in 1954. White operator share rose to 78 percent and tenancy fell from 47 percent to 18 percent as cotton declined as an enterprise and industrial expansion drew tenants off the farm. The trend may reflect farmers moving up the agricultural ladder, with future speed depending on off the farm work, technology, and policy.
