The Changing Face of Farm Employment.

Ilg, Randy E.

Monthly Labor Review, v118 n4 p3-12 Apr 1995

Increased farm size, improved technology, and competing demands for farm land resulted in substantial decline in farm acreage and consequent declines in farm employment. Remaining farm operators are more likely to be white, highly educated, and have larger, capital-intensive farms. (SK)
