Families with Farm Income: Their Income, Income Distribution, and Income Sources

  • Crecink, John C.

Abstract

This report utilizes data from the Farm Family Living Expenditures Survey of 1973. Nationally, total income for farm families is becoming more equally distributed. Low-farm incomes or even negative farm income does not necessarily indicate a low family income because over 90 percent of the families had income from at least one other source in addition to farming. Most low-income farm families were concentrated in the South, particularly in the Appalachian and Delta region. The Corn Belt also had a sizeable number of farm families whose income was below the poverty threshold.
