The trend toward fewer but larger farms continued during the turbulent 1970's and 1980's, but more slowly than during the previous two decades. Farm business returns and farm household income are comparable with their nonfarm counterparts. Farm households are wealthier than the average American household, but farm businesses are much smaller than businesses in other industries. The diversity of U.S. farming complicates a broader, more general description of the sector and of the well-being of farming households. |
