Under Secretary of Agriculture True D. Morse told a Southeastern Community Development Association meeting in Athens Georgia that about 95 percent of farms remain family operated, a share as high as 20 to 30 years ago. He noted modern equipment keeps farms family driven, with fewer sharecroppers and less hired labor, and he predicted continued family operation with country living tied to adequate income opportunities.
