Abstract

The Journal of the ASFMRA has a long history of sharing farm management ideas. A textual analysis of 1,752 articles evaluated language and authorship trends since 1937. Over time, fewer articles were sole-authored, and common title words shifted, reflecting evolving concerns of the profession. Single authorship declined from 80% prior to the 1970s to less than 40% after 1990. While “farm” remained the most frequent title word, the second most common term in the earlier decades, “appraisal,” gave way to “farmland,” and terms like “economics,” “analysis,” and “risk” only became common after the mid-1980s. Results are relevant to prospective authors and those interested in the rural property professions.
