Abstract

This report examines educational characteristics of the farm-related population, including nonmetro farm residents and workers by race and sex. Members of this population generally lag behind their nonfarm-related counterparts in all areas examined: number of school years completed, number of persons completing high school and college, functional literacy rates, participants in adult education, and labor force status. The farm-related population needs more formal education in order to compete successfully in both the farming industry and nonagricultural fields.
