Language: English Descriptors: U.S.A.; Agrarian countries; Family farming; National surveys; Support measures; Public opinion; Rural environment; Age differences; Politics; Education; Income distribution Abstract: The United States emerged as a nation in an era where more than 90 percent of the population was involved in farming. It is a precept of agricultural fundamentalism that there is something special and superior about the farm way of life. Family farming may be thought of as an icon, a representation of collective sentiments encompassing significant national values and identity. Agrarian principles find strong support among farmers and rural residents, but little research has taken a national perspective on the issue. Policy makers face major choices about continued high subsidization of agriculture or accelerated economic Darwinism in the face of technological change and shifting world supply and demand conditions. Results from a mail survey of a national sample of households suggest that the agrarian complex remains tied to rural and agricultural experiences, age, liberal political orientation, and is inversely related to education and income. Net of major indicators of class, region, and ties to farming and agriculture, agrarianism is shown to undergird support for family farming and a willingness to endorse state intervention in the agricultural sector. The policy implications of these findings are addressed. 9 NAL Call. No.: 281.28 R88 Agrarianism in American society. Dalecki, M.G.; Coughenour, C.M. Bozeman, Mont. : Rural Sociological Society; 1992. Rural sociology v. 57 (1): p. 48-64; 1992. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: U.S.A.; Society; Beliefs; Social values; Agriculture; Family farms; Surveys; Attitudes Abstract: Sociological studies indicate that adherence to the tenets of agrarianism is still widespread in American society. But efforts to identify the structural roots of agrarianism have been only partially successful in that only a small portion of the variation in support of agrarianism can be explained thereby. The multidimensionality of agrarian beliefs and the linkages with underlying values prevalent in American society are explored with data drawn from a national sample of adults. Results indicate that tenets of the agrarian creed are widely endorsed by the American public as a whole. Moreover, beliefs are organized in the form of attitudinal (factor) dimensions corresponding to four of the five tenets of agrarianism identified by Flinn and Johnson (1974): family farm, agrarian fundamentalism, yeomanship (independence), and farm life style. The analysis of scale scores for the first three dimensions indicates that each expresses a different social ethic that is revealed in the unique configuration of American values to which it is significantly related. 10 NAL Call.

Data were collected from 195 subjects. Daily EI and EE were estimated from 4-day food and 4-day activity records. respectively, collected on the same days. Pearson correlation coefficients for chronic disease risk factors with both EI and EE were generally low. When compared to EI, EE was more highly correlated with both lean body mass (r = 0.88) and BMI (r = 0.73). and was less time consuming and easier for the subjects to use. EE obtained from a reliable activity record may be a more practical tool for assessing the possible relationship(s) of energy metabolism to chronic disease risk factors. 24 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Colorado; Hispanics; Farming systems research; Farm management; Characteristics; Farm size; Objectives; Comparisons Abstract: The San Luis Valley farming systems' project sought to identify improved technologies and better decision-making capabilities for modest-sized and limited-resource farms. Characteristics of limited-resource farms operated by Hispanic and Anglo families, which may or may not be associated with differential rates of social participation and/or institutional discrimination, were examined. To determine characteristics of client farms, data were collected and stratified on farm resources, farm operations, goal hierarchies, and operational management strategies. Hispanic and Anglo farmers differed significantly in several respects. Key among these differences were crop and livestock enterprise mixes and the importance of off-farm income to households. For many farming parameters, farm size, age of farmer, and full- time/part-time characteristics overshadowed ethnicity as a determinant of decision-making. However, an important subset of farm population is composed of Hispanic farmers who operate below median farm acreage on a part-time basis and for whom few technological developments or assistance programs are specifically designed or delivered. 48 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Indiana; Pig farming; Diversification; Crop insurance; Deficiency payments; Farm indebtedness; Risks; Non- farm income; Yield factors; Agricultural policy; Simulation models; Crop yield; Computer software Abstract: Multiple peril crop insurance's (MPCI) impact on Central Indiana hog-crop farms was analyzed under scenarios of alternative debt/asset ratios, government deficiency payment programs, and levels of off-farm income and yield variablility. MPCI reduced the probability of survival of high-debt farms when yield variability was equal to county average yields. More positive effects result from use of MPCI under assumptions of greater available financial resources or higher levers of yield variability. MPCI is likely to have a more important role in risk management for the medium-debt farm or the high-debt farm with off-farm income than for the other scenarios analyzed. 51 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Georgia; South Carolina; Blacks; Ethnic groups; Cultural behavior; Rural areas; Cultural sociology; Islands; Land use; Social change Abstract: Historians have long noted the existence of many rural Souths in lieu of the single rural monolith noted by Cash. Analysis, then, must be done on local and not solely on regional issues. Morris (1984) chronicled the emergence of the Civil Rights Movement. His thesis is that indigenous community groups were linked together by black church leadership and were recruited by national movement organizations (e.g., NAACP, SCLC). The thesis of this article is that after the Civil Rights Movement, small black social movements emerged to address issues in local areas. These new, emerging social movement organizations differed with the Civil Rights Movement in terms of leadership, formalization, goals, and tactics. We treat the emergence of Sea Island Gullah in South Carolina and Georgia as an example of one such movement. From Reconstruction to the Depression, the descendents of slaves lived in isolated settlements on the remote sea islands. During this time, they reestablished a culture with authentic African components and developed mechanisms to transmit the culture to other islands. By the late 1970s, the land base for the culture (small farming and fishing) was threatened by land developers. A social movement organization was formed by movement entrepreneurs with the help of white and black volunteers. This movement has aided small farmers who have lost their land to tax reassessments. It has also sought to reestablish agriculture in the Sea Islands and promote the Gullah culture. 52 NAL Call. No.: SF232.V5P57 1990 Cutting Hill a chronicle of a family farm., 1st ed..

Language: English Descriptors: Minnesota; Health insurance; Health services; Farm families; Demography; Rural areas; Health care costs Abstract: This paper reports the findings of a study of health insurance coverage and access to health services among farm families in Minnesota. The study included 1,482 families actively engaged in farming during 1989. While less than 10 percent of the population were uninsured during this period, the majority had limited coverage with high deductible and coinsurance provisions. Moreover, they were paying an estimated 15 to 20 percent more for their plans than a similar plan would have cost in the Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN, area. With the exception of cost, satisfaction with health services was found to be very high, and there were few indications of access problems. 60 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Kentucky; Farmers' attitudes; Quality of life; Farming; Work satisfaction; Farm income; Farm surveys; Regional surveys; Farm size; Off-farm employment; Characteristics; Education; Academic achievement Abstract: The purpose of this study is to broaden the understanding of the determinants of farmers' satisfactions with life as a whole and with farming per se by replicating and extending Molnar's 1985 study of the overall subjective well-being of Alabama farmers. Data from a 1982 study of Kentucky farmers are used to accomplish this objective. Molnar's conclusions regarding the individual and structural determinants of farmers' global well-being are generally confirmed. In addition, the farmer's global satisfaction with life is shown to be related to his satisfaction with farming but the structural determinants of global and farm satisfaction differ. Net farm income, but not total family income or off-farm work time, determine farm satisfaction while the converse is true for global satisfaction with life. Education is shown to specify farmers who have relatively large farms but low net farm incomes and dissatisfaction with farming and with life. Perceived rewards of farming are important determinants of both satisfaction domains. It is argued that farmers' opportunities to construct their workplaces explains the irrelevance of farm size to subjective well-being. 61 NAL Call.

A migration equation is specified and tested empirically using aggregate data for the United States. The economic determinants of the migration of all farm workers and farm operators are established. Farm labor is found to be responsive to changes in the returns to agricultural labor relative to nonfarm labor returns. Given this responsiveness, policies intended to increase farm income will affect the level of agricultural employment. 62 NAL Call.

Participation was attractive to older farmers, to those who were not planning to transfer the farm to a family member, to less experienced farmers, and to those using less sophisticated management techniques. Schooling, off-farm work, and nonfarm experience did not have significant effects. The partipication pattern suggests that the long-term effects of the program on milk supply are small. 71 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Colorado; Irrigation water; Water availability; Mixed farming; Crop enterprises; Livestock enterprises; Decision making; Linear programming; Mathematical models Abstract: Farms in NE Conejos County, Colorado, are characterized by limited resources, uncertain surface flow irrigation systems, and mixed crop-livestock enterprise combinations which are dependent on public grazing resources. To model decision making on these farms, a linear program is developed stressing enterprise choices under conditions of multiple resource constraints. Differential access to grazing resources and irrigation water is emphasized in this research. Regarding the water resource, the model reflects farms situated alternatively on high-, medium-, and low-priority irrigation ditches within the Alamosa-La Jara river system, each with and without supplemental pumping. Differences are found in optimum enterprise mixes, net returns, choice of cropping technology, level of marketings, and other characteristics in response to variations in the availability of irrigation water. Implications are presented for alternative improvement strategies. 74 NAL Call. No.: 281.28 R88 The effects of metropolitan residence on the off-farm earnings of farm families in the United States.

Language: English Descriptors: U.S.A.; Men; Women; Farm families; Non-farm income; Off-farm employment; Urbanization; Labor market; Participation; Earned income; Household surveys Abstract: Previous research on the effects of urbanization on farming and farm families has focused on the consequences of urban expansion on farming practice rather than on the well- being of farm families. Proximity to urban areas has been found to alter the way farm families utilize the nonfarm labor market. in this study, the-off-farm earnings of husbands and wives in farm families are compared across metropolitan (metro) and nonmetropolitan (nonmetro) areas using data from the March supplement to the 1989 Current Population Survey. Censored regression models (tobit) and decomposition are used to demonstrate the effects of nonfarm labor market differences on off-farm labor force participation and earnings. The analysis reveals that farm family members, as expected, have significantly higher rates of participation and earnings in metropolitan areas. But this analysis also reveals that increases in off-farm participation are likely to have a larger effect on total off-farm earnings in nonmetropolitan areas than returns to those already working off-farm. The potential for increases in off-farm earnings will be underestimated in nonmetro areas when changes in participation in the off-farm labor market are not taken into account. 75 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: North Dakota; Farm families; Rural communities; Farm closures; Demography; Farm structure; Farm indebtedness; Support systems; Employment; Family budgets; Labor mobility; Retraining of farmers Abstract: This study explores the characteristics of North Dakota families who quit farming between 1980 and 1986 for economic reasons. It describes (1) the demographic characteristics of former operators as well as the structural and financial characteristics of their former farms, (2) the financial circumstances of their departure from farming and the support systems they used in their transition, and (3) their current employment situation and perceived family financial well-being. These data are compared with those of a cross section of households that were operating farms in the state in 1986. The findings clearly indicate that significant numbers of farm families are making the transition to other occupations and that, in many cases, this transition involves migrating to urban areas. Displaced farmers who chose to leave their community were typically younger, more educated, and had less equity than those who chose to stay. Such selective migration poses numerous negative consequences for communities, such as declining school enrollments, membership losses in churches, a reduction in volunteers, and stagnation in community organizations. Additionally, the findings indicate that one in three displaced farmers did not take advantage of important community-based support systems to aid in their transition. This suggests that an important role for community development practitioners is to develop community- based programs that reduce the stigma of failure associated with those who quit farming while offering aid and assistance to marginal farmers. The major challenge for practitioners, however, is to devise a strategy that will broaden their area's economic base. Programs focusing on educational and technical assistance for local business operators, alternative delivery systems for community services, and the recruitment of young leaders and volunteers must receive high priority. 102 NAL Call.

Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Alabama; Illinois; Kentucky; Louisiana; Nebraska; North Carolina; Virginia; Rural women; Employed women; Earned income; Off-farm employment; Mathematical models; Labor market; Participation Abstract: The decisions of farm wives to work off the farm and the earnings they make in that off-farm employment should be considered simultaneously. Previous studies of wives' off- farm earnings have included only employed wives in their analyses of the factors affecting earnings, which results in biased estimates. This study tests, via Tobit analysis, a model which includes all farm wives and examines the effects of wives' human capital, farm and family constraints, and labor market characteristics on both their off-farm employment decisions and their earnings. Wives' off-farm earnings are found to be related to wives' education, labor market experience, presence of children, other family income, farm size, and debt/income ratio. Changes in these factors have a greater influence on the labor market participation decisions of farm wives than on the variation in their earnings, once employed. 110 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Illinois; Grain; Farm families; Household consumption; Farm income; Marginal analysis; Household income; Economic theories; Mathematical models Abstract: The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for a sample of eighteen Illinois farms over the 1979-86 period is determined. Four consumption models were estimated using disposable household income plus depreciation as the measure of income. Estimated short-run MPCs ranged from 0.007 to 0.020, while long-run MPCs varied between 0.143 to 0.381. These results indicate farm family consumption responded little to changes in income and that the life cycle hypothesis model explains consumption significantly better than the other models. Robustness of the results is demonstrated using a larger sample of farms for 1986-87. 117 NAL Call. No.: S605.5.A43 Farmer-to-farmer exchange between U.S. and Italy. Stinner, B.

Language: English Descriptors: U.S.A.; Farming; Patterns; Poverty; Rural areas; Economic development; Structural change; Agrarian reform; Politics; Regionalization; Comparisons; Statistical data Abstract: This study examines the contentions of two recent perspectives on rural economic organization and their implications for poverty. Building from (1) agrarian political economy and (2) the rural restructuring literatures, we present a comparative regional analysis of how farming patterns and other aspects of economic organization differentially affect poverty in rural areas. Data are based on 2,349 nonmetropolitan U.S. counties for the 1970-1980 period. Nonhired labor-dependent, family-operated farming (smaller and larger family farming) has relatively similar cross-regional effects on rural poverty. The effects of industrialized farming are more spatially variant, suggesting that this type of farming is integrated into regional political economies in different ways than are simple commodity units. However, farming patterns have only a small effect on rural poverty relative to other factors, such as the local employment structure, characteristics of the population, and geographic location. The results of this study highlight the need to move beyond the farm sector to understand both the dynamics of this sector and the socioeconomic consequences of rural restructuring. More broadly, the study underscores the importance of testing general sociological relationships under different spatial (e.g., regional) contexts. 123 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: California; Child nutrition; Nutritional state; Socioeconomic status; Anthropometric dimensions; Growth; Farm families; Child development; Mexican-Americans; Farm workers; Children Abstract: Comparison of the size of Mexican-American children from two samples of farmworker families living in Tulare County, one drawn in 1969 (24 families with 52 children 0-7 years old), the other in 1989 (95 families with 226 children 0-9 years old) reveals a parallel improvement in total family income and physical growth. However, children in families with incomes below 70% of the poverty line in 1989 showed generally lower Z-scores in weight for age, height for age and weight for height compared to families with higher income. These differences in weight for age and height for age reached statistical significance (p < .01) for children 2-4 years old. This age-group differential emphasizes the need for close monitoring of children's physical growth in order to appropriately target compensatory interventions. 138 NAL Call.

This study employs the new census public use micro-data sample, PUMS-D, to investigate the effect of local labor market characteristics on off-farm earnings of farm operators. The PUMS-D data allow local characteristics to be defined on a labor market area basis, rather than on a political boundary basis. For a sample of Georgia farm operators, local labor market size, unemployment rates, and industrial structure were found to have significant impacts on off-farm employment and earnings. 151 NAL Call.

Granger-causality tests show one-way causality from the macrovariables to the farm sector variables, and this is supported by impulse response functions from a VAR model.

Language: English Descriptors: Southeastern states of U.S.A.; Goat meat; Meat production; Investment; Production; Costs; Returns; Feasibility; Farming systems; Small farms; Economic analysis Abstract: Potential goat producers in the Southeastern United States lack information about investment requirements and production and marketing costs. This study attempts to determine the most profitable meat goat production enterprises by estimating the costs and returns of three selected production systems. A comparison of net present values and payback periods, and financial feasibility analysis were the methods used. Despite the difference in the level of net income generated, a cash surplus, attributed to land, family labor, and management for the three alternative investment systems occurred at the end of the third year. Thus, goat enterprises may provide economic opportunities for farm families who have limited finances and resources. 157 NAL Call. No.: HD1751.C45 Involuntary farm exit in Wisconsin.

Language: English Descriptors: U.S.A.; Males; Females; Off-farm employment; Rural unemployment; Wages; Labor market; Supply balance; Geographical distribution; Marriage; Decision making; Econometric models; Farm families; Economic situation; Participation Abstract: Effects of geographical differences in local economic conditions on wage labor demand and wage labor participation decisions of rural couples are examined for Current Population Survey households 1978-82. Wage premiums are shown to exist for localities anticipating labor demand growth, higher unemployment rates, larger share of employment in services, and higher costs of living. These effects are stronger for males than females. Effects of local economic conditions on the probability of wage work are consistent with expected market wage and reservation wage effects, and for farm households the probability of wage work increases when expected farm output prices decline or the wage increases. 170 NAL Call.

This article estimates potential dollar gains and simulates the relocation of workers out of agriculture and into nonfarm activities. Different nonfarm sectors would expand under three cases of macroeconomic adjustment to the change in farm policies. The benefits of full liberalization would arise largely from the implied reduction in the Federal budget deficit. The greatest benefits would result if in addition to liberalization, macroeconomic policies that stimulate investment or net exports were pursued. 190 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: North Carolina; Cardiovascular diseases; Risk; Farmers; Nutritional state; Energy expenditure; Body fat; Sex; Nutrient intake; Energy intake; Nutritional adequacy; Cholesterol; High density lipoprotein; Blood pressure; Mental stress; Tobacco smoking; Women; Men Abstract: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the relative contribution of diet, body fat, energy expenditure and stress on lipid profiles and blood pressures in North Carolina farmers (n=76) and farm wives (n=68). Stepwise multiple regression analysis was used to evaluate the effects of selected dependent variables on the independent variables (total cholesterol (TC), HDL-cholesterol (HDLC), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). In this model, three measures of body fat (BMI, sum of 4 skinfolds and % body fat), gender, energy expenditure, smoking status and three measures of stress were used with a group of selected dietary variables. Because the correlations between the 3 measures of body fat, and the 3 measures of stress were small (generally less than 0.30), all of these variables were used in the regression model. None of the nutrients evaluated significantly contributed to the variance for TC. Only carbohydrate and vitamin C intake contributed significantly to the model for HDLC. Protein, carbohydrate and potassium contributed significantly to the model for SBP whereas sodium and energy contributed significantly to the model for DBP. 193 NAL Call.

Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Massachusetts; Off-farm employment; Decision making; Labor market; Farm families; Models; Probit analysis Abstract: The off-farm labor participation and supply decisions of Massachusetts farm families were estimated in a model which allows for joint decisions. The hypothesis of joint off-farm participation decisions by operators and spouses was rejected. However, there was some evidence that the hours supplied by the farm operator was dependent upon the decision by the spouse to work off-farm.

Language: English Descriptors: Wisconsin; Off-farm employment; Labor market; Longitudinal studies; Employed women; Marriage; Time allocation; Decision making; Participation; Wage rates; Models; Probit analysis; Sampling techniques Abstract: Through the use of a longitudinal data set, we determine those factors that are important to off-farm labor market entry and compare them with factors affecting off-farm labor market exiting. The model of labor market entry and exit takes into account the effects of changes in key economic variables over a four-year period. The data are for married farm women in Wisconsin who must make labor allocation decisions among home production, farm production, and off-farm employment. These decisions have important implications for the well-being of the families involved (who have been increasing in number) and for their communities. 197 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: U.S.A.; Family farms; Agricultural policy; National surveys; Public opinion; Economic indicators; Econometric models; Agricultural structure; Structural change; Resource utilization; Economic theories; Linear models Abstract: The increasing costs of agricultural programs is raising concern about the future direction of agricultural policies. Data from a nationwide survey on public attitudes toward agriculture are used to examine the structure of citizens' preferences for government involvement in agriculture and especially for policies to protect family farms. Estimates of the influence of economic and sociodemographic variables on policy preferences are computed using a multiple-indicator model. Signs and magnitudes of estimated coefficients lend support to the self-interest theory of voter behavior. Results question economic arguments suggesting altruistic motives as a cause of redistributionary agricultural policies. 212 NAL Call. No.: MCMThesis Arch 1989 M. Arch.

Language: English Descriptors: Florida; Small farms; Off-farm employment; Farmers' attitudes; Extension; Information services; Cost benefit analysis; Patterns Abstract: Effective delivery methods are important to the impact of Extension programs. The effectiveness of delivering Extension programs can be increased by matching the information channels used by Extension to those preferred by segments of the clientele. This study explores the preference patterns of clientele for obtaining information. The influence of selected individual and structural characteristics on those patterns also is examined. Data from a mail survey (using the Total Design Method, or TDM) of small farm operators from six countries in Florida indicate that preference patterns vary. The analysis, using confirmatory factor analysis, verified the presence of a lower cost preference pattern and two higher cost patterns, on focused on individual consultation and the other on group educational activities. Regression analysis also was used to determine the influence of selected individual level and structural level characteristics on the emergence of different preference patterns. These results can be used as a guide to maximize contact in delivering information to various segments of Extension audiences. 219 NAL Call.

Using a social behavioral, farming systems perspective, we examine factors affecting diversification and specialization decisions, including land tenure, off-farm work, and education (which are crucial to successful management) and environmental variation (which affects the decision to select appropriate enterprises). Data from a random sample of Kentucky farmers were used to test the model. Diversification, whether defined according to crops or commodities, is significantly related to farm size, human capital, and regional variation in land and soil types. The study clarifies the relationship between diversification and farm size issues and broadens understanding of farm diversification decisions. The findings indicate that increased farm size and better farm management reduce the rate of increase in farm specialization. 252 NAL Call. No.: 6 P9452 Some like it hot.

Attention is given to operator and spouse participation decisions as well as associated problems of multiple sample selectivity biases. Two-stage fixed and random coefficient methods, corrected for possible selectivity biases, are used to estimate supply function parameters. Results indicate that supply function parameters are random. Variation in important supply parameters is investigated. Results also illustrate the importance of spouse decisions on off-farm labor supply function structure. 263 NAL Call. No.: HT421.K41 A survey of Pennsylvania dairy farm families [final report].

Language: English Descriptors: U.S.A.; Maize; Soybeans; Wheat; Agricultural policy; Agricultural production; Production controls; Farm income; Farm size; Small farms; Trade liberalization; Federal programs; Legislation; Characteristics; Limiting factors; Production functions; Econometric models Abstract: This paper analyzes a variable price support program (VPS) as an alternative to the current farm income support program. The VPS program can control U.S. agricultural production while protecting income of small farmers. The VPS is designed to alter farm level production decisions by reducing commodity support prices for each additional unit of production produced. This will serve to discourage excess aggregate production. The VPS program can be a mechanism to stabilize income of efficient small farms during the transition from the current farm programs to a free market environment. An illustrative study is used to target government program benefits to various farm-size groups. 285 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: U.S.A.; Farm entrants; Demography; Agricultural structure; Age; Agricultural prices; Regions; Off-farm employment; Employment opportunities; Probabilistic models Abstract: The influence of demographic and economic factors on the number of young farm entrants is investigated. After controlling for the demographic effect, it is found that higher commodity prices, lower real interest rates, and lower land values are associated with greater entry. Regional effects suggest lower entry in states with better nonfarm opportunities. Demographic factors suggest that the shrinking pool of potential entrants will lead to further decline in farm entry. The decline in farm entry has important implications for the future structure of farming in the United States. 292 NAL Call.
