Virginia farm population edges toward prewar levels
Virginia farm population neared its 1921 level in 1945 with about 950000 rural residents, though current counts lag below prewar figures. The South shows regional losses, with Louisiana Arkansas and Mississippi regions dropping over 25 percent since 1940, while the national farm population rises for a second year but stays under prewar totals. Virginia economist Wilson Gee urged reducing government controls to restore private farming enterprise, noting farmer fears of another depression and reliance on government support linger from past crises.
