Abstract

Although the number of U.S. farms is dropping, the number of female farmers is rising. In 1978, about 128,000, or 5.2 percent of all U.S. farmers, were women. They tend to run smaller farms and earn less than their male counterparts. They are also older and more likely to be full owners of the land they farm.
