註釋Abstract: Rural people no longer rely primarily on agriculture for their livelihood. The number of agricultural counties receiving at least 20 percent of their total labor and proprietors' income from farming declined from 2,016 in 1950 to 684 in the midseventies. This report documents the decline in counties dependent on agriculture and identifies counties where farming still provides a large portion of income and employment. Counties still depending on agriculture have unique farm and economic characteristics. This report also examines the structure of agriculture in its changing local environment.
