Structural Change in U.S. Agriculture, 1969-1982


Ruben Lubowski

Stock Number 90023. December 1997

Overview

These data files provide information on total number of farms, acreages in different land uses, acreages in different land tenure categories, gross and net farm income, and sales of commodity groups by sales classes for 1969, 1974, 1978, and 1982. These data are presented in terms of constant dollar sales classes in 1969 dollars. The estimates of acreages and sales are based on estimates of farm numbers in constant dollar terms for farms with the relevant attributes, e.g. farms with idle cropland or farms with dairy sales. The methodology for performing these adjustments is described in the ERS publication STRUCTURAL CHANGE IN U.S. FARMLAND, AER-617, June, 1990. More overview...
