America's Diverse Family Farms: Assorted Sizes, Types, and Situations—This report describes a farm typology that the Economic Research Service developed, which categorizes farms into more homogeneous groups than classifications based on sales volume alone, producing a more effective policy development tool. The typology is used to describe U.S. farm structure. |
Structure and Finances of U.S. Farms: Family Farm Report, 2007 Edition—This report presents comprehensive information on family and nonfamily farms and
important trends in farming, operator household income, farm performance, and
contracting. Most farms are family farms. Farm households receive most of their
income from off-farm sources. A companion
brochure summarizes the reports findings. |
