Th is report was prepared by the staff of th e Agricultu re Division 

under the general supervision of Orvin L. Wilhite, Chief (to January 

1980), and Arnold L. Bollenbacher, his successor (to April 1982). 

Clerical processing was performed in the Data Preparation Division, 

Jeffersonville, Ind. 

Staff of the Administrative Services Division provided the forms 

design services. 

Many individuals in the Publication Services Division made significant contributions in publication planning and design, editorial review, 

composition, and printing procurement. 

The computer processing facilities were provided by the Computer 

Operations Division. 

Members of the Census Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics and representatives of both public and private organizations made 

significant recommendations which helped establish data content. 

Representatives of the Economic Research Service and Farmers Home 

Administration of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Farm Credit 

Administration, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the Board of 

Governors of the Federal Reserve System contributed to the development of the content and tabulation plans for the survey.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Varying elements of farm finance have been collected since 

the first agriculture census was taken in the United States. 

Initially, the principal points of interest were the value of farmland and sales of agricultural products, but in 1890, census data 

were also requested on farm mortgage debt. In later censuses, 

this aspect of the data collection effort was expanded to include 

farm taxes. 

Beginning in 1960, special surveys were conducted in connection with the 1959 and 1964 Censuses of Agriculture on 

selected aspects of farm finance. In 1971, the 1970 Survey of 

Agricultural Finance was conducted as part of the 1969 Census 

of Agriculture. This survey collected data on land in farms, 

value of land and buildings, rents, capital and operating expenditures, credit used for purchasing specific items, debts outstanding 

by kind and source, taxes, value of agricultural products sold, 

construction of new buildings and other structures, and off-farm 

income. 

The 1979 Farm Finance Survey is basically comparable to 

the 1970 Survey of Agricultural Finance. The 1979 Survey 

included new sections on production contracts, income and 

expenses from farm· related sources, assets, when and how 

owned land was acquired, off·farm work, education, and house· 

hold characteristics; and repeated questions from the 1970 

Survey on debts, expenditures, income, and taxes. Data for all 

of these hems were collected from farm operators, and most of 

them from landlords. The landlord report form also included 

new sections on ownership and sales of agricultural land, participation in management decisions, type of ownership, and 

characteristics and occupation of landlords. 

SOURCE OF DATA 

Essentially all data shown in this report are from the 1979 

Survey of Farm Finance, which was taken in 1980 to cover the 

calendar year 1979. 

The items included in the report forms were suggested by 

the Census Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics in 

1978 and 1979, and by various government agencies and private 

organizations during 1977, 1978, and 1979. These suggestions 

were augmented and refined by staff research and by consul· 

tations with the suggesting agencies and organizations. 

Particularly noteworthy was the assistance provided by the 

Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agricul· 

ture, the Farm Credit Administration, the Federal Reserve 

Board, and various universities. 

In the fall of 1978, a mailout pretest was made of draft 

versions of the operator and landlord report forms. The pretest 

was based on a national sample of operators and landlords 

taken from respondents to the 1974 Census of Agriculture. 

Based on evaluation of the pretest and additional research, 

final data collection forms were developed for operators 

(79·A9A) and for landlords (79·A9B). Copies of these forms 

are in the appendix. 

The data for the survey were collected principally by mail. 

Form 79·A9A was sent to a sample of farm operators for 

completion of applicable items for the land which they operated. 

Form 79-A9B was sent to landlords for completion of items 

relating to the land rented to the specified farm operators. 

A combination of the requisite items from both reports made 

possible the determination of total estimates for items applicable to all land in farms. 

PRESENTATION OF DATA 

Data are published for the United States, the 4 regions, the 9 

divisions, and each of the 50 States. In general, data are published 

in greater detail for the United States than for lesser geographic 

areas. There are tables for operators only, for landlords only, 

and for operators and landlords combined. Small differences 

may occur between tables in the totals for the same categories 

of items because of rounding figures to thousands. 

UNPUBLISHED DATA 

More detailed data were tabulated at the request of the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, but these data have not been pub· 

lished in this report because of space limitations. Inquiries about 

the content, availability, and costs of reproduction should be 

directed to: Chief, Agriculture Division, Bureau of the Census, 

Washington, D.C. 20233.

COLLECTION PROCEDURES 

Operator 

A total of 44,968 report forms were mailed to operators 

from March to June 1980. The initial mailing was carried 

out as sample lists and labels became available. 

The package contained form 79-A9A, Farm Finance Survey, 

a form 79-A9A for the respondent's file, an instruction sheet, a 

brochure-Why a Farm Finance Survey, cover letter, and a 

return envelope. 

After the original mailout, there were four mail followups. 

The first and third consisted of complete survey packages, and 

the second and fourth consisted of a form letter requesting 

prompt response. The operator responses were 32,831 or 73 

percent. A stratified sample of approximately 5,500 nonrespondents was selected for followup by telephone. 

It was not possible to enumerate all of the sample nonresponse cases, however, 1.710 cases were enumerated. The 

remaining certainty cases were imputed, and a reweight program 

was applied to the entire farm finance survey to compensate 

for the noncertainty nonresponse cases. 

Landlord 

The report forms were mailed to landlords from September 

to December 1980 in three phases, as the names became available 

from the operator reports. The reports provided approximately 

37,600 landlords. Of these, 34,200 were mailed report forms. 

The remaining 3,400 names were held as abnormals (government 

agencies and other institutions) or without sufficient addresses. 

Attempts were made to call all operators with insufficient or 

missing landlord names or addresses. 

After the original landlord mailouts, there were three mail 

followups. The first and third consisted of complete survey 

packages, and the second consisted of a form letter requesting 

prompt response. The response was 26,000 reports or 76 percent. An additional 3,000 landlords, or 8.8 percent, were returned by the post office because of insufficient address or no 

forwarding address available. 

Additional landlords were located which were not identified 

in the original review. Information for these landlords, as well 

as the mail nonresponse landlords, were imputed during processing. Data for these cases were imputed using their operators' 

data as well as characteristics of landlords of similar size and 

type. 

No field enumeration of landlords was conducted. Telephone 

followup for nonresponse was limited. 

DATA PROCESSING 

Operator's Report Forms 

The report forms for operators were reviewed prior to keying 

the data to magnetic tape. This involved a clerical edit check for 

incompleteness. Whenever the incompleteness was significant, 

correspondence was initiated or telephone calls were made to 

collect the missing data_ 

All problem cases, large operations (as determ ined by acres 

or sales). multiunit operations, and multiform cases (reports 

involving the other follow-on surveys) were referred to technical 

analysts for review. 

The report forms specifying off-farm work were coded by 

the Current PopUlation Surveys Branch of the Demographic 

Surveys Division. Approximately 12,000 reports received a 

three-digit code indicating the type of industry and occupation of the operator and spouse. The coding system was based 

on the Bureau of the Census 1970 Industrial and Occupational 

Classification System. 

Following the initial edit review, the data were keyed to tape 

and used in this report. About 1,400 report forms failed for a 

variety of reasons to meet the census definition of a farm for 

1979. 

The keyed data were subjected to a series of computer 

checks to determine whether all required entries had been made 

and if the entires were internally consistent. Problem items were 

flagged by the computer and displayed on printouts for review 

and correction by statistical analysts. 

Landlord's Report Forms 

The landlord reports were processed in the same way as the 

operator reports, but in accordance with separate landlord 

computer edit specifications. Each individual landlord report 

was edited separately. 

The final phase of edit review for the survey was a comparison 

of the responses of the landlord (s) renting to a particular 

operator with the responses of that operator. When there were 

two or more landlords renting to any operator, relevant 
x GENERAL EXPLANATION-Continued 

responses of all the landlords were added together for the comparison. This phase of review was called the reconciliation edit. 

The task of reviewing and making corrections to individual 

reports was performed simultaneously with needed reconciliation corrections. Reconciliation comparisons between aggregated landlords values (all landlords renting to one operator) 

and their operators were restricted to data common to both 

landlord(s) and operator. Data compared were acres rented, 

their associated value of land and buildings, and share and 

cash rents. The reconciliation computer edit was designed such 

that these four essential responses were also imputed on nonresponse landlord reports based on the response obtained from 

the operator. 

LIMITATIONS OF THE DATA 

The published data are subject to both sampling and nonsampling errors. Measurements of the sampling error for selected 

data are shown in this report. However, nonsampling errors such 

as u nderreporting and m isclassifications by respondents and 

processing errors were not measured. 

During the processing of the survey, most data were accepted 

as reported unless there were obvious reporting errors or gross 

inconsistencies among selected data. In general, only land 

values, the more significant operating expenditures and assets, 

and the value of agricultural products sold were imputed if the 

data were not reported by the respondent. Imputations for 

these data were based on the items reported in the matching 

1978 census report. Nonresponses to debt items were reviewed, 

and to determine whether debt was required, comparison was 

made with adjacent reports of similar characteristics. This resulted either in telephone followup, or imputations based on 

the relationships of comparable adjacent reports. 

For the most part, estimates from this survey shoul.d not be 

used as the absolute totals without making some comparisons 

with data from the 1978 Census of Agriculture and other benchm ark sou rces. 

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS 

For an exact wording of the questions used in the survey 

forms, and the information sheets which accompanied these 

forms, see the appendix of this publication. The definitions and 

explanations in this section provide more detailed descriptions 

for selected items and terms than are available on the report 

forms or in the tables. 

Farm Definition 

r'or this 5urvey, the definition of a farm is the same as that 

for the 1978 Census of Agriculture. A farm is defined as any 

place from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were 

sold or normally would have been sold du ring 1979. The word 

"place" is defined as all land under the control or supervision of 

one person or partnership at the time of enumeration and on 

which agricu Itu ral operations were conducted at any time in 

1979. It is made up of the sum of the land owned in 1979, plus 

the land rented from others, minus the land rented to others. 

Control may have been exercised through ownership or management, or through a lease, rental, or cropping arrangement. 

Abnormal Farms 

The term "abnormal farms" includes institutional farms, 

experimental and research farms, and Indian reservations. 

I nstitutional farms inclu de those operated by hospitals, penitentiaries, schools, grazing associations, government agencies, 

etc. The 2,300 abnormal farms identified in the 1978 Census 

of Agriculture have been excluded from this survey. 

Operator 

The term "operator" designates a person who operates a 

farm, either doing the work or directly supervising the work. 

The operator may be the owner, a member of the owner's 

household, a salaried manager, or a tenant. If he/she rents 

land to others or had land worked on shares by others, he/she 

is considered the operator only of the land which he/she retains 

for his/her own operation. For partnerships, only one partner 

is counted as an operator. If there is no clear-cut partner in 

charge, the senior or oldest active partner is considered to be 

the operator. For survey purposes, the number of operators is 

the same as the num ber of farms. 

Hired Farm Manager 

A hired manager is a person who is paid a salary or wage 

(and sometimes a commission) to operate a farm or ranch for 

an individual or family, a partnership, a corporation, an institution, or other organizations. The hired manager is in charge of 

all day-to-day decisions relating to all aspects of the operation. 

Instructions accompanying the report pointed out that a hired 

manager should not be confused with a foreman, caretaker, 

share operator, or hired person who merely carries out the 

employer's instructions. 

On the operator report form the respondent was asked: 

Is this farm or ranch operated by a hired 

manager? ................... Yes D NoD 

Reports indicating the presence of a hired manager were 

reviewed during processing. Obvious reporting errors were 

corrected. 

Although the potential for having a hired farm manager is 

possi ble for most sizes or types of farms, the probability is 

greater for corporate or other large-scale farms and ranches. 

Follow-up telephone calls to a number of the smaller individual 

proprietorships reflected obvious confusion between the hired 

managers, caretakers, and foremen. In such cases, if the owner 

was actually responsible for pu rchasing, marketing, and making 

decisions involving the crop or livestock practices, the report 

was changed to a nonmanaged classification. This undoubtedly 

indicated the potential for an inflated count of hired managers. 

The salary for hired managers was to be included as income 

from farm work-section 10, item 1, a, (2) of the report form. 

The data for personal assets, section 9, items 14 to 21; section 

12, Off-Farm Work and Education, and section 13, Household 
GENERAL EXPLANATION-Continued XI 

Characteristics, of the report form were to be reported for the 

hired manager and his/her family. 

Managed Farms 

For uses of this survey, farms operated by hired managers 

are managed farms. Data for managed farms were collected and 

published in this report at the special request of data users, 

but managed farms are not shown as a separate tenure class in 

farms by tenure. In the tenure classification, these farms were 

distributed among full owners, part OWl)ers, and tenants according to the reported ownership. 

Farms or Farms Reporting 

The term "farms" or "farms reporting" in the presentation 

of data denotes the number of farms reporting the item. The 

same applies to the term "landlords" or "landlords reporting." 

Land in Farms 

The acreage designated in the tables as "land in farms" 

consists primarily of agricultural land used for crops, pasture, 

or grazing. It also may include considerable areas of land not 

actually under cultivation and not used for pasture or grazing. 

For example, the acreage of woodland and wasteland owned or 

rented by farm operators along with the land used for their 

agricultural operations is included as land in farms. Large acreages of land held for nonagricultural purposes were deleted in 

processing. 

All grazing land except ope~ range and grazing land used 

under government permit was to be included in farms, provided 

the place of which it was a part was a farm. 

Land leased from the Government, Indian reservations, and 

institutions was considered to be debt free, and also not su bject 

to property taxes. Land leased from corporations was also considered to be debt free unless an amount for mortgage debt 

was reported. However, data on taxes were requested from 

corporations. 

Capital Purchases 

This refers to expenditures used for purchasing long-lasting 

items required for the production of agricultural income, such 

as land and buildings, land improvement, equipment and 

machinery, etc. 

Operator's Cash Operating Expenses 

This represents the total operating expenditures, excluding 

depreciation and change in inventory values, made by the farm 

operator and members of his/her family for farming operations 

in 1979. To permit a more useful farm-to-farm comparison of 

cash operating expenditures, cash rent paid is not included, but 

is shown separately. Cash expenditures paid by landlords were 

not to be included by the operator, but were reported by landlords. The cost of items and services supplied by contractors is 

not included, but is shown separately. 

Value of Agricultural Products Sold 

This item represents the gross market value before taxes and 

production expenses of all agricultural products sold or removed 

from the place in 1979 regardless of who received the payment. 

It includes sales by the operator as well as the value of any 

shares received by partners, landlords, contractors, and others 

associated with the operation. It does not include income from 

farm-related sou rces, such as custom work or agricu ltu ral services, 

income from the sales of forest products, or income from other 

nonfarm sources. 

Operator's share-For a share tenant, the operator's share is the 

total value of agricultural products sold mihus the landlord's 

share. In the case of a part owner who share-rented land, it is 

the total value of the sales from the owned and rented land 

minus the landlord's share from the share-rented land. In the 

case of full owners and cash renters, it is the total value of sales 

from the farm. In the case of an operator with a contract, it is 

the value of agricultural products sold minus the contractor's 

share. 

Operator's share minus cash rent-This total includes the 

operator's share of the value of agricultural products sold minus 

cash rent paid to the landlord. 

Landlord's share-This total represents the landlord's share of 

the value of agricultural products sold from land rented to 

operators on a share rental basis. 

Contractor's share-The contractor's share of the total is the 

total market value of products produced under contract minus 

the amount paid to the producer. 

Production Contract 

Many farm products are produced under a contract or binding agreement between the farm operator (producer) and the 

person who buys or uses the farm product. A production contract usually specifies the kind and/or amount of farm products 

to be produced and may specify variety or breed, the operations 

to be performed during production, the price to be paid the 

producer, and the inputs and technical assistance to be supplied 

by the contractor. 

Operator's Income 

Net cash income from agricultural sales-This income is the 

operator's share of the income from agricultural prodUcts sold 

minus the cash operating expenses and cash rent. 

Net cash farm-related income-This income is the operator's 

share of income from customwork and other agricultural 

services, recreational services, payments from government 

farm programs, gross cash rent or share payments received, 

sales of forest products, and income from other business or 

source closely related to agriculture, minus expenses for the 

services. See section 6 of the operator's report form in the 

appendix. 
XII GENERAL EXPLANATION-Continued 

Net cash farm income-This is the operator's income from the 

net cash income from agricultural sales plus the net cash farmrelated income. 

Off-farm income-This category covers cash wages, salaries, 

tips, Armed Forces pay, commissions, piece-rate payments, 

cash bonuses, income from a nonfarm·related business or 

professional services, retirements and/or disability payments, 

public assistance, interest, dividends, income from estates or 

trust, net cash rent from nonfarm property, net royalties, or 

lease payments from mineral rights, annuities, alimony, regular 

contributions from persons not living in the household, and any 

other money income from any other sources. See section 10 of 

the operator's report form in the appendix. 

Net cash income-This is the operator's total income from net 

cash farm income plus the off-farm income. 

Cash Rent 

Each farm operator renting from others was asked, "If you 

rented land from others, how much cash rent did you pay for 

the year 1979?" The cash rent reported includes, in addition to 

the amount paid for land rented and operated, any cash rent 

paid for rented lands the operator may have subrented to others. 

Total Rent 

Total rent includes landlords' share of the value of agricultural products sold plus cash rent paid. 

Capital Purchases and Operating Expenses 

This is the total expenditures for all capital items and all cash 

operating expenses. 

Funds Borrowed for Unspecified Purposes 

These are the funds borrowed in 1979 for general farming 

operations, and which were not used for or could not be readily 

allocated to a specific use or purpose. Some part of these funds 

may not have been used during 1979. Such loans for general 

operating expenses were most often borrowed from commercial 

banks or production credit associations and generally paid back 

when the agricultural products were sold. 

Farm Taxes 

Farm operators were requested to complete the tax section 

of the report form if they were owners of farmland. 

Both operators and landlords were requested to report taxes 

on farmland and ranch land, buildings and other improvements, 

as reported on their tax bills for 1979. 

Taxable Land in Farms 

This is the total of all taxable farmland as reported in the 

1979 Farm Finance Survey. Land in abnormal farms and land 

rented from public agencies (Federal, State, and Indian lands) 

were excluded. 

Real Estate 

This consists of land and any structures or other improvements on it. 

Real Estate Taxes 

These are taxes levied on real estate. Practically all privately 

owned real estate is legally su bject to the general property 

tax in the United States. The estimates for the acres of privately 

owned land in farms in the United States were calculated from 

the acres in farms reported in the following manner: F rom the 

total acres of land in farms in 1979, the acres rented from 

government agencies, I ndian reservations, and institutions were 

deducted to arrive at the acres of privately owned taxable lands. 

No adjustments were necessary for operated abnormal farms 

since they were not included in the survey sample. Similar 

adjustments were made to arrive at the value of the taxable land 

and buildings. The total amount of real estate tax was estimated 

by applying the tax rate per $100 of market value of land and 

buildings for farms reporting in the survey to the market value 

of taxable owned land and buildings from the 1979 Farm 

Finance Survey. To get the tax rate per $100 of market value 

of land and buildings for the su rvey farms, the tax rate was 

calculated for farms reporting taxes by tenure. These rates were 

then applied to all survey farms broken down by tenure. It is 

possible that taxes reported by small farms might have been 

affected by residential rates. No attempts were made to correct 

for this influence. 

Assessed Value 

The "assessed value" as applied to this survey is "an official 

valuation of property ... for taxation." Because of low and often 

erroneous responses to the question on assessed value of real 

estate, no data were published for this item. 

Total Farm Debt 

Farm operators were instructed to report as debt the unpaid 

principal of the loans, sales contracts, and other bills owed by 

the farm operator and spouse as of Decem ber 31, 1979. In 

case an indebted farm operator (or spouse) owned farmland 

that was rented or' leased to others, or owned a nonfarm 

business, the operator was asked to prorate the debt so the 

amount reported would relate only to the farmland operated. 

Debts owed for less than 30 days, such as charge accounts, 

were not to be reported. 

The report form contained separate inquiries about debts 

owed to each of 12 different sou rces of credit (see section 3 of 

the operator's report form in the appendix). The inquiry about 

debts owed to merchants and dealers included an itemization 

by six purposes. Debts owed to previous owners from whom 

part or all of the farm was purchased were subdivided into 

mortgage and land-purchase-contract categories. The use of 

separate inquiries for different types of debts probably resulted 

in more complete reporting. 

The instructions and procedures for reporting landlord debt 

were the same as those for reporting farm operator debt. Each 
GENERAL EXPLANATION-Continued XIII 

landlord listed by a farm operator was asked to report only debt 

relating to the acreage rented to the farm operator in the 

sample. 

Real Estate Farm Debt 

Farm operators (and landlords) were instructed to report 

each source of debt as of December 31, 1979, the amount of 

debt that was secured by all or part of the real estate in his/her 

place. Secured debts were to include those secured entirely by 

mortgages (first, second, or third). deeds of trust, and land 

purchase contracts, and also, debts secu red in part by the real 

estate in his/her place and in part by chattel mortgages or liens 

on livestock, poultry, equipment, or crops. 

Non-Real Estate Farm Debt 

Farm operators (and landlords) were instructed to report for 

each source of debt as of December 31, 1979, the amount of 

debt arising from the operation of his/her place that was not 

secured by farm real estate; to include unsecured debts and 

debts secured entirely by chattel mortgages and crop liens; and 

also, unpaid bills and accounts which were owed for a period of 

more than 30 days as of December 31, 1979. 

Nonfarm Debt 

These are debts related to nonfarm assets such as off-farm 

dwellings, cotton gins, motels, and stores; and machinery, 

vehicles, and equipment for nonfarm uses. Nonfarm debt was 

requested only from operators. 

Farm Assets 

Operator's-These assets included the physical resou rces used in 

the operation of the farm, and the financial resources resulting 

from or relating to the farm business. 

The physical farm assets were farmland and bu ildings, livestock, machinery, equipment, and crop inventories. 

The financial farm assets were deposits, secu rities, cash value 

of life insurance, accounts receivable, and cash on hand. 

For a family or individual operation, all fann assets owned 

by the operator and related members of the household engaged 

in the farm business were to be reported. 

For a partnership or family corporation operation, all 

physical farm assets owned by the partnership or family corporation were to be reported, but the financial farm assets were to 

be reported only by the senior partner (or person in charge of 

the partnership), or by the person in charge of the family 

corporation. 

For large corporations, including managed operations, all 

physical farm assets managed for the farm owner were to be 

reported. However, only the financial farm assets owned by 

the hired manager and related members of the household 

engaged in the farm business were to be reported. 

The type of assets excluded from the operator's report 

were land and buildings rented to others; the landlord's share 

of any assets; poultry, livestock, and other assets owned by 

contractors, investors, etc.; and machinery, equipment, and 

other assets rented from others. 

Landlord's-The landlords were requested to report only the 

physical farm assets pertaining to the land rented to specified 

renter-operators included in the survey sample. 

Operator's Worth 

Farm net worth-This category includes the operator's total 

farm assets minus the total farm debts. 

Nonfarm assets-This category includes the market value of 

nonfann property, such as off-farm dwellings, cotton gins, 

stocks of cooperative organizations, motels, stores, and vehicles, 

machinery, and equipment for nonfarm uses. 

Nonfarm net worth-This category includes the operator's nonfarm assets minus the nonfarm debts. 

Farm Data 

Residence of operator-Farms were classified as to whether the 

operator lived on the farm operated or not on the farm operated. 

This classification was obtained from the matched reports of 

the 1978 Census of Agriculture. No adjustment was made for 

nonresponse. 

Value of land and buildings-Farms were classified by value of 

land and buildings as established for each farm from the 1979 

report. The respondent was asked to give his best estimate of 

the current market value of the land, including all permanent 

buildings and permanently attached equipment. 

Weeks worked at off-farm job by operator-This classification 

was based on the data from the 1979 Farm Finance Survey. 

No adjustment was made for nonresponse. 

Sex of operator-The sex classification was based on the matching reports of the 1978 Census of Agricu ltu reo If sex was not 

reported in 1978, it was derived based on reports with similar 

acreage, size, tenu re, and sales size. 

Operators of Spanish origin-The Spanish origin classification 

was obtained from matching reports of the 1978 Census of 

Agriculture. No adjustment was made for nonresponse. In the 

1978 Census of Agriculture extensive verification and recontacting were done to verify responses. 

Landlord 

The owner or holder of land which he/she leases to others. 

Multiple or duplicate landlords-Since the mail list for landlords 

was prepared from the names reported by operators, it was 

possible for the same landlord to appear on two or more different operator reports, or for the same landlord to appear two 

or more times on the same operator report. Whenever this 

occurred, one landlord would have submitted multiple reports. 

During data processing, a special effort was made to locate 

multiple cases, and to correct items which would have been 

duplicated on the reports. 
XIV GENERAL EXPLANATION-Continued 

Landlords' land sales-Because of the small amounts involved, 

no adjustments were made for possible duplications resulting 

from operating landlords reporting both as operators and as 

landlords. 

Landlord by renters-The num ber of renters reported represents 

renter-operators included in the survey sample as well as those 

not included. A landlord may report several renters, at least 

one of which will be a specified renter-operator included in 

the su rvey sample, but the other renters might not have been 

selected as operators in the su rvey. 

Landlord by acres owned-This represents the total amount of 

land owned by landlords included in the survey sample. This 

total may include possible duplications of owned acres whenever the sample included two or more tenant operators with the 

same landlord. An attempt was made to elim inate duplication 

during processing. 

Landlord by value of land and buildings owned-This is the 

value of all owned agricultural land reported by landlords. 

Landlords by type of ownership organization-The data on 

ownership organization was obtained from responses to items 

on the landlord report form. The type of ownership organization is the same as that used for operators. This is the first time 

that this type of classification was used for landlords. 

Family or individual and partnership landlords were further 

classified as to residence, distances of residence from land 

rented, two racial groups (White or Black and other races). 

Spanish origin, age, sex, citizenship, occupation, and percent of 

income from agricultural rent and sales of products. These 

classifications were based on the landlords reporting these items. 

Corporate landlords were fu rther classified as to whether 

they had business other than that of a landlord, and whether the 

business was related to agricultural or nonagricultural activities. 

All of these data were tabulated only for the landlords reporting 

the items. 

"See Text" Reference 

Items in the tables which carry the note "See Text" are explained or defined in this section. Also, additional explanations 

for some items are provided. 

Farms with sales of less than $2,500-These data include some 

farms with sales of less than $1,000, if they qualified as farms 

based on the farm definition criteria used to measu re potential 

sales in the 1978 Census of Agriculture. 

Ownership-Acceptable entries for "Other" as ways acres 

owned were obtained by operators and landlords were: Law 

suit judgement, divorce, title dispute, foreclosure, through 

incorporation, homestead, suit for repossession, and through 

marriage. 

Occupation-Acceptable entries for "Other" as type of occupations of landlords were: Housewife, student, prisoner, and 

widow. 

CLASSIFICATION OF FARMS 

The tables present data classified by specified characteristics 

of the farm or the operator. 

Farms by Value of Agricultural Products Sold 

Data are shown for farms with sales ranging from less than 

$2,500 to farms with $500,000 or more. The sales values are 

based on 1979 sales reported in the su rvey. The su rvey sam pie 

includes farms, which in the 1978 census had sales of $1,000 

or more, or had potential for such sales. Thus, the sales class 

of "less than $2,500" includes those farms in the survey reporting sales of less than $1,000, since these were classified as farms 

in accordance with census farm definition. 

Farms by Standard Industrial Classification 

The standard industrial classification (SIC) used in the survey 

was based on the matching 1978 Census of Agriculture report 

form. These classifications, found in the 1972 SIC Manual, 

are used to promote uniformity and comparability in the 

presentation of statistical data collected by various agencies. 

The farms were classified into selected 3- and 4-digit industry 

groups. 

Farms by Tenure of Operator 

This classification of farms was based on 1979 data reported in the farm finance survey for land owned, land rented 

from others or worked on shares for others, and land rented to 

others or worked on shares by others. 

The classifications of tenure used in this report are: 

Full owners, who operate only land they own. 

Part owners, who operate land they own and also land 

they rent from others. 

Tenants, who operate only land they rent from others or 

work on shares for others. 

The subclasses of tenants are: 

a. Cash tenants pay only cash rent, either on a per acre 

basis or for the farm as a whole. Cash payments representing a share of the crops or livestock are not considered as cash rent. 

b. Share cash tenants pay part of the rent in cash and part 

in a share of the crops and/or of the livestock and livestock products. 

c. Share tenants pay a share of the crops and/or a share 

of the livestock or livestock products. 

d. Other tenants are those who do not qualify for inclusion 

in any of the foregoing subclassifications. They may 

have had the use of land rent free or in return for a 

fixed quantity of product, payment of taxes, maintenance of buildings, etc. 

Farms by Size 

F arms were classified by size according to the total land area 

(acres in place) established for each farm. Acres owned plus 
GENERAL EXPLANATION-Continued xv 

acres rented from· others minus acres rented to others was 

designated as acres in the place. 

Farms by Type of Organization 

The type of organization classification used was based on 

information taken from matched 1978 Census of Agriculture 

reports. 

The classifications used are: 

Individual or family operation (sole proprietorship), excluding partnership and corporation. 

Partnership operation, including family partnership. 

Corporation, including family corporation. 

Other, such as cooperative, estate or trust, etc. 

Corporations were su bclassified: 

a. Family held 

b. Other than family held 

Farms by Age of Operator 

The age classification was based on the matching report of 

the 1978 Census of Agriculture. If age was not reported in 

1978, it was derived based on reports with sim ilar acreage 

size, tenure, and sales size. 

Farms by Race of Operator 

The race classification was obtained from matching reports of the 1978 Census of Agriculture. If race was not reported 

in 1978, it was derived based on r~ports with similar acreage, 

size, tenure, and sales size. Data for the following racial classifications are presented in the tables: 

White 

Black and other races 

The classification "Black and other races" includes Blacks, 

American Indians, Asian or Pacific Islanders, and any other 

separate racial group, except Wh ite. 

Farms by Principal Occupation of Operator 

Farms were classified as to whether the principal occupation 

of the operator was: 

Farming-The operator spent 50 percent or more of the 

worktime in farming or ranching. 

Other-The operator spent 50 percent or more of the 

worktime in occupations other than farming. 

The classification was obtained from matching reports of the 

1978 Census of Agricu Itu reo 

SAMPLING AND ESTIMATING PROCEDURES 

The estimates from this su rvey are based on a probability 

sample of farms identified in the 1978 Census of Agricu ltu reo 

Sample Selection 

All farms in the 1978 Census of Agriculture were divided 

into strata based on: (1) The State in which they were enumerated, (2) whether they were enumerated from the mail Jist or 

from the direct enumeration area sample! , and (3) their value 

of agricultural sales. The level of sales used to define strata 

varied from State-to-State. All large farms and farms from the 

direct enumeration area sample with a large expansion factor 

were included in the sample with certainty. The size of the large 

or certainty farms varied from $250,000 in West Virginia to 

$5,000,000 in California. 

Within each noncertainty strata, a systematic sample of farms 

was selected. Farms in a stratum were sorted by State, county, and 

approximately by ZIP code within a county. Counties were 

arranged geographically within each State. Samples were selected 

independently from each State and within each stratum of a 

State. A different integer sampling interval was used for each 

stratum. 

Whole Farm Nonresponse 

Each farm selected into the sample was mailed a series of 

report forms and letters to encourage response. All nonrespondent farms among farms in certainty strata were telephoned. 

When responses could not be obtained from certainty farms, 

information was imputed by Bureau of the Census subject 

matter analysts using 1978 census information and information 

from similar farms which did respond. Nonresponding farms 

among farms in noncertainty strata were enumerated on a 

sample basis. A sample of 1-in-6 nonresponding farms was 

initially selected to be enumerated. 

In the nonresponse sample, an adjustment was made to the 

expansion factor of enumerated and imputed farms. The expansion factor was adjusted by stratum within a State, and was 

calculated by dividing the total of the enumerated and nonrespondent farms by the number of farms enumerated. This 

adjustment assumes that nonrespondents have the same char· 

acteristics as respondents and that all nonrespondents still 

operate farms. 

Method of Estimation 

Estimates were prepared by weighting the data for each farm 

by the initial sampling interval adjusted for nonresponse. Initial 

weights assigned to individual farms range from 1 to 1,312. A 

final expansion factor was calculated by multiplying the adjustment factor by the original expansion factor and converting the 

product to an integer. For final tabulation, the average weight 

for all farms was 69.8. The landlord units were assigned the 

same weights as the operators with which they were associated. 

RELIABILITY 

The statistics in this report are estimates derived from a 

sample su rvey. There are two types of errors possi ble in an 

estimate based on a sample survey-sampling and nonsampling. 

Sampling errors occur because observations are made only on a 

sample, not on the entire population. Nonsampling errors can

explanation. 
XVI GENERAL EXPLANATION-Continued 

be attributed to many sources, e.g., inability to obtain information about all cases in the sample, definitional difficulties, 

difference in the interpretation of questions, inability or unwillingness to provide correct information on the part of 

respondent, mistakes in recording or coding the data and other 

errors of collections, responses, processing, coverage, and 

estimation for missing data. Also, nonsampling errors occur in 

complete censuses. The "accuracy" of a survey result is determined by the joint effects of sampling and nonsampling 

errors. 

Coverage 

The target population for this survey is all census farms 

included in the 1978 Census of Agriculture or their successors. 

The population of farms from which the sample was selected 

was different from the target population. This difference intro· 

duces a coverage error. This coverage error is caused by several 

factors: (1) The list of farms from which the sample was selected 

was a preliminary list which did not include all farms included 

in the census, (2) abnormal farms were excluded from the sample, i\ 

and (3) farms which went out of business after the census were;."" 

dropped from the sample. >d'>.yI~ 

If a farm operator selected in the 1979 sample continued 

to operate any part of the farm he/she operated in 1978, he/she 

was eligible for inclusion in the survey regardless of the size of 

the 1978 operation. However, if the operator did not operate 

any part of the farm in 1979 he/she operated in 1978, the 

operator was requested to identify who the operator was in 

1979. To avoid duplication in the sample, the "new" operator 

was eligible for inclusion in the survey only if he did not farm 

at all in 1978. By use of this successor procedure, survey estimates accounted for consolidations and splitups of farms. This 

permitted some "new" operators to fall into the sample, and 

prevented an operator from having more than one chance of 

being selected in the sample. 

Unless directly related to a sample farm, farms starting into 

business after the census were not included in the survey. A 

total of 1,033 successors were deleted from the su rvey because 

their operators' names appeared on the 1978 census list. A total 

of 882 operators were included in the survey as "new" 

operators. Table A measures in part the coverage error 

associated with the survey. 

Nonresponse Adjustment 

Bu dget restrictions that prevented the enumeration of all 

farms in the non response adjustment sample introduced a 

potential bias of unknown size to the survey. If the estimates 

are to be unbiased, the adjustment procedure used requires 

that on the average, nonrespondent farms be the same as 

respondent farms and that all nonrespondents operate farms. 

Since it is unlikely that this is true, a bias of unknown size and 

direction has probably been introduced. 

Item Nonresponse and Processing Error 

Respondent problems with understanding questions or lack 

of available records resulted in incorrect or missing responses 

to questions. During processing, respondent data were examined 

for consistency and reasonableness. Information considered 

unreasonable or missing when not directly confirmable by 

telephone was estimated. Information was estimated in several 

ways: (1) from responses to related questions, (2) from data 

relationships of similar farms in the sample, and (3) by statistical estimation procedu res. Processing errors, item nonresponse, and respondent problems introduced a nonsampling 

error. There is no measure of the size of this error. 

Sampling Error 

The particular sample used is one of a large number of 

possi ble samples of the same sample size that could have been 

selected using the same sample design. Estimates derived from 

the different samples would differ from each other. 

The standard or sampling error of a survey estimate is a 

measure of the variation among the estimates from all possible 

samples, and thus is a measure of the precision with which an 

estimate from a particular sample approximates the average 

result of all possible samples. The relative standard error is 

defined as the standard error of the estimate divided by the 

value being estimated times 100. Table 95 provides relative 

sampling errors for selected items. Additional measures of 

relative sampling errors will be available upon request. Please 

direct request to the Chief, Agriculture Division, Bureau of 

the Census, Washington, D.C. 20233. 

The standard error also partially measu res the effect of 

certain nonsample errors but does not measure any systematic 

biases in the data. Bias is the difference, averaged over all 

possible samples, between the estimate and the true values. 

Obviously, the accuracy of the survey results depends on both 

the sampling and nonsampling errors measured by the standard 

error and the bias and other types of nonsampling error not 

measured by the standard error. 

The sample estimate and an estimate of the standard error 

permit the construction of an interval estimate with prescribed 

confidence that the interval includes the average result of all 

possible samples (for a given sampling rate). 

To illustrate, if all possible samples were selected, each of 

these was surveyed under essentially the same conditions, and 

an estimate and its estimated standard error were calculated 

from each sample, then: 

1. Approximately two-thirds of the intervals from one standard error below the estimate to one standard error above 

the estimate would include the average value of all possible 

samples. We call an interval from one standard error below 

the estimate to one standard error above the estimate a 

67 -percent confidence interval. 

2. Approximately 9/10 of the intervals from 1.6 standard 

errors below the estimate to 1.6 standard errors above the 

estimate would include the average value of all possible 

samples. We call an interval from 1.6 standard errors 

below the estimate to 1.6 standard errors above the estimate a 90-percent confidence interval. 

3. Approximately 19/20 of the intervals from two standard 

errors below the estimate to two standard errors above the

estimate would include the average value of all possible 

samples. We call an interval from two standard errors 

below the estimate to two standard errors above the 

estimate a 95-percent confidence interval. 

4. Almost all intervals from three standard errors below the 

sample estimate to three standard errors above the sample 

estimate would include the average value of all possible 

samples. 

The average value of all possible samples mayor may not be 

contained in any particular computed interval. But for a particu· 

lar sample, one can say with specified confidence that the average 

of all possible samples is included in the constructed interval. 

For example, an approximate 95-percent confidence interval 

on the number of farms in Maine in 1979 can be constructed 

as follows: 

1. The estimate of the number of farms is 7,782 from 

table 1. 

2. The estimate of the relative standard error of the estimated total is 11.8 from table 95. 

3. An estimate of the absolute standard error of the estimate can be calculated by multiplying the estimate 

times the relative error of the estimate divided by 100. 

Absolute standard error = (7,782) x (11.8/100)=918.3. 

4. A 95-percent confidence interval is constructed by adding 

and subtracting twice the absolute standard error from the 

estimate. 

Confidence limit 

Upper = 9,619 = 7,782 + 2 x (918.3) 

Lower = 5,945 = 7,782 - 2 x (918.3) 

The estimate and confidence interval can be interpreted in 

the following way. The best estimate of the total farms is given 

by 7,782. You can be 95-percent confident that the average of 

all possible samples lies in the interval of 5,945 to 9,618. 

Estimation of Sampling Error 

Sampling error was estimated using a random group method 

of estimation within each stratum. When the sample was 

selected, each sample farm in a stratum was assigned to one of 

eight random grou ps. An estimate of the stratum total was 

made for each of the random groups within each stratum. The 

sampling error of the estimate was calculated using estimates 

from the random groups. The estimate of sampling error does 

not inclu de adjustment for the non response su bsample. 

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 

Changes in Farms From 1978 to 1979 

In comparing the results of the 1979 survey to the 1978 

census, a number of differences are apparent, some of which 

are due to actual changes taking place in agriculture; others to 

sampling error and bias which resulted from the sampling, 

enumeration, and processing procedures. 

The greatest change was in the value of agricultural products 

sold, an increase of 14 percent. Farms with sales of $200,000 

or more had the highest increase, 27 percent. Farms with sales 

of $20,000 to $39,999 had the greatest decrease, 16 percent. 

All sales groups with less than $40,000 had decreases. 

The number of farms and land in farms decreased by 5 percent, but the value of land and buildings increased by 5 percent. 

A portion of this decrease resulted from the lack of ability to 

identify new farms starting in business in 1979. See Sampling 

and Estimating Procedures. Table B shows the survey results 

compared to totals from the 1978 Census of Agriculture. 

Assets 

Combined operator and landlord farm and nonfarm assetsThese assets amounted to $908 billion. Farm assets of $872 

billion made up 96 percent of the total. Operators held 71 

percent of the combined farm and nonfarm assets, and 69 

percent of the combined farm assets. Landlords were requested 

to report only the value of phYsical farm assets. These amounted 

to $266 billion. (See tables 14 and 21.) 

Combined operator and landlord physical farm assets-These 

assets are real estate, machinery, crop stored, and livestock and 

poultry. (See table 12.)

G EN ERA L EXPLANATION-Continued XIX 

Real estate-The value of farm real estate reported was 

$676 billion, and was 78 percent of the total value of farm 

assets. The value of land was 86 percent of real estate value, 

and 67 percent of the total farm asset value. For the su rvey, 

respondents were asked to report the estimated current 

market value of land including buildings. In addition, they 

were asked to report the value of different categories of 

buildings. The value of land was obtained by subtracting the 

value of buildings from the combined value of land and 

buildings. 

Machinery-The value of machinery reported was $73 billion, 

and was 8 percent of the total farm asset value. Survey 

respondents were asked to report only the value of machinery 

and equipment that they owned. Therefore, items rented 

or borrowed would not be included. 

Crops stored-The value of crops stored reported was $15 

billion, and was 2 percent of the total farm asset value. 

Livestock and poultry-The value of livestock and poultry 

reported was $48 billion, and was 6 percent of the total 

farm asset value. 

Assets for livestock and poultry included only those 

owned by operators and landlords. Assets owned· by integrators and investors not participating as operators or landlords were not included. Also, operator-owned livestock in 

a separate feedlot on a custom feeding basis were not included 

as assets by either the operator or the custom feedlot. 

Financial farm assets-The su rvey collected financial assets only 

from operators. These amou nted to $60 bill ion. (See table 14.) 

Operator farm assets-These assets of $605 billion were 94 

percent of the value of operator farm and nonfarm assets. The 

average value per farm was $257,000. The value per farm ranged 

from $2.6 million for farms with sales of $500,000 or more to 

$93,000 for farms with sales of less than $2,500. Farms with 

sales of $100,000 or more accounted for 40 percent of the value 

of operator farm assets. (See table 20.) 

Debts 

Combined operator and landlord farm debt-The combined 

operator and landlord farm debt was $111.6 billion. Commercial 

or savings banks were the largest lender with 24 percent of 

the debt and federal land banks were second with 20 percent. 

(See table 55.) 

Operator farm debt-Operator farm debt was $100.9 billion. 

Nearly 4 out of 5 farms with sales of $40,000 or more reported 

debt. For all farms, 54 percent of operators reported debt 

averaging $80,000 per farm and a debt to asset ratio of 24. 

Operators in the higher sales classes had larger debt per farm, 

a higher proportion of farms with debt, and higher debt to asset 

ratios. (See tables 2, 58, and 76.) 

Real estate debt-About 858,000 operators had real estate 

debt of $65.1 billion, equivalent to 65 percent of the total 

operator farm debt. Federal land banks were the largest 

lenders with 30 percent and commercial banks were second 

with 17 percent. (See table 62.) 

Non-real estate debt-About 903,000 operators had non-real 

estate debt of $35.8 billion, equivalent to 35 percent of the 

total. operator farm debt. Commercial and savings banks were 

the largest lender with 40 percent and production credit 

associations were second with 24 percent. 

Merchants and dealers were the source of non-real estate 

debt for 416,000 operators. Non-real estate debt owed to 

merchants and dealers comprised 5 percent of total operator 

debt and 14 percent of non-real estate debt. (See table 63.) 

Operator nonfarm debt-About 215,000 (9 percent) of farm 

operators reported nonfarm debt of $8.9 billion, equivalent to 8 

percent of the total operator farm and nonfarm debt. The 

nonfarm debt per farm reporting was $41,000. For farms with 

sales of $500,000 or more, the average was $132,000, and for 

farms with sales of less than $2,500, it was $25,000. (See 

table 58.) 

Balance Sheet 

Of the combined operator and landlord farm assets of $872 

billion, real estate with 78 percent accounted for the major 

portion. The total debt-to-asset ratio and real estate debtto-asset ratio were 13 and 11, respectively. The net worthto-assets ratio for the su rvey was 87. (See table C.) 

Net Worth 

Of the combined operator and landlord farm and nonfarm 

net worth of $787 billion, farm net worth with $759 billion 

accounted for 96 percent. Operators had 66 percent of the 

combined farm net worth. The farm net worth of $255 billion 

for landlords was based on the value of physical farm assets and 

farm debt reported by landlords. No data on financial farm 

assets, nonfarm assets, and nonfarm debt were obtained from 

landlords. (See tables 21, 64, 79, and 80.)

xx GENERAL EXPLANATION-Continued 

Income 

The total net cash income of operators and their families 

was $60 billion. Net cash farm income of $27 billion represented 45 percent, and off-farm income of $33 billion represented 55 percent of the total. Farms with sales of $40,000 

or more accounted for 87 percent of the total net cash farm 

income and 19 percent of the total off-farm income. Off-farm 

income as a percent of total net cash income ranged from 21 

percent for farms with sales of $40,000 or more to 94 percent 

for farms with sales of less than $20,000. (See table 31.) 

Off-farm income was received by 92 percent of farm operators and members of their families. The average per farm was 

$15,138. 

Wages and salaries from nonfarm jobs were received by 53 

percent of operator families averaging $16,934 per family, and 

6 percent received wages and salaries from farmwork averaging 

$8,283 per family. Income from wages and salaries amounted 

to $22.3 billion and was 68 percent of total off-farm income. 

(See table 33.) 

Expenditures 

Combined operator and landlord capital purchases and operating 

expenses-Combined operator and landlord capital purchases 

and operating expenses were $112.2 billion of which 72 percent 

was for operating expenses. Operators accounted for 96 percent 

of the total capital purchases and operating expenses, 95 percent 

of the capital purchases, and 96 percent of the operating 

expenses. (See tables 35, 40, and 48.) 

Capital purchases of operators-Operators had capital purchases 

of $30.2 billion. This was 28 percent of the total operator 

capital purchases and operating expenses and 95 percent of the 

combined operator and landlord capital purchases. Operators 

with sales of $40,000 or more accounted for 74 percent of the 

value of capital purchases. (See table 41.) 

Operating expenses of operators-Operators reported operating 

expenses of $77.3 billion. This was 72 percent of the total 

operator capital purchases and operating expenses and 96 

percent of the combined operator and landlord operating 

expenses. Operators with sales of $40,000 or more accounted 

for 86 percent of the operating expenses. (See table 41.) 

Credit Flow 

The data on credit flow measures the amount of credit 

used by farm operators and landlords to finance capital pu rchases and operating items. 

The combined operator and landlord funds borrowed for 

agricultural operatiqns was $41.3 billion of which $33.2 billion 

(98 percent) was for specified items and $8.0 billion (2 percent) 

for unspecified or general purposes. 

For operators and landlords combined, 52 percent of the 

specified capital purchases and 21 percent of operating expenses 

were financed. Funds borrowed for operating expenses accounted 

for 50 percent of the total funds borrowed for specified purposes. 

F arm operators accounted for 98 percent of funds borrowed 

for specified purposes. They financed 52 percent of capital 

purchases and 21 percent of the operating expenses. Landlords 

financed 40 percent of capital purchases and 5 percent of operating expenses. (See tables 35, 41, and 48.) 

Farm and Ranch Land Sold 

Operators and landlords combined sold 9.2 million acres for 

$8.1 billion. Land sold for farm and ranch use was 86 percent of 

the total acreage sold and other uses was 14 percent. Operators 

sold 66 percent of the acreage. The com bined acreage sold for 

an average of $881 per acre. (See tables 1 and 10.) 

Land Acquisition 

For operators reporting, 39 percent acquired 40 percent of 

their land prior to 1960. The second largest number (27 percent) 

acquired 17 percent of their land during 1970 through 1974. 

However, from 1970 to 1978,32 percent of owned land in farms 

was acquired. During both 1970 to 1974 and 1975 to 1978, 

nearly 1 in 4 owner-operator acquired land. (See table 4.) 

For operators reporting, 67 percent purchased 59 percent of 

thei r land from non relatives. The second largest number (31 

percent) purchased 22 percent of their land from relatives. 

(See table 6.) 

For landlords reporting, 82 percent purchased 75 percent 

of their land. The second largest number (24 percent) acquired 

25 percent of their land by inheritance or gift. (See table 10.) 

Real Estate Taxes 

The data on real estate taxes refer to taxes levied in 1979 

on privately owned farm and ranch land reported in the survey. 

The total real estate tax was estimated by applying the tax 

rate per $100 of market value of land and buildings for farms 

reporting taxes to the market value of taxable owned land and 

buildings for all farms. To get the tax rate per $100 of market 

value of land and buildings, the rate was determined for farms 

reporting taxes by tenure. Then, these rates were applied to all 

farms broken down by tenure. 

Real estate taxes on taxable land and buildings in the United 

States for 1979 were estimated at $4,367 million. This was the 

estimated tax bill for 903.6 million acres of privately owned 

land used for agricultural operations. This acreage, including 

buildings, had an estimated market value of $670.9 billion. 

Real estate taxes were equivalent to a tax of $4.83 per acre or 

$0.65 for each $100 of market value. (See table 85.) 

Off-Farm Work 

To the question of off-farm work for operator and/or spouse, 

2.2 million (94 percent) of the 2.4 million farm operators 

responded. Of these, 55 percent reported either operator and/or 

spouse worked off the farm. 

For farms with sales of less than $20,000, 67 percent reported 

either operator and/or spouse worked off the farm, compared to 

34 percent for farms with sales of $40,000 or more. 
GENERAL EXPLANATION-Continued XXI 

The most frequently reported off-farm employment was as 

an employee of private business, 51 percent for operators and 

56 percent for spouses. The most prevalent off-farm occupation 

for operators was craftsmen and kindred workers, 21 percent. 

However, for farms with sales of $40,000 or more, the most 

frequently reported occupation for operators was managers and' 

administrators (except farm), 21 percent. 

For spouses, the most frequently reported occupation was 

clerical and kindred workers, 26 percent, followed by service 

workers, 17 percent. (See table 90.) 

Household Characteristics of Operators 

A total of 6_9 million persons were reported in farm operator 

households. Persons under 16 years of age accounted for 22.8 

percent of the total. There was an average of 2.9 persons per 

household. About 51 percent of households had an average of 

1.7 persons, and 16 percent an average of 5.8 persons. 

Farms with sales of less than $20,000 had an average of 

2.8 persons per household, and accounted for 58 percent of 

persons in all households. Farms with sales of $40,000 or more 

had an average of 3.3 persons per household, and accounted for 

31 percent of persons in all households. 

For all households, 66 percent of operators and 76 percent 

of spouses completed 12 years or more of school. For farms 

with sales of less than $20,000,61 percent of operators and 71 

percent of spouses completed 12 years or more of school. The 

corresponding percentages for farms with sales of $40,000 or 

more was 77 for operators and 86 for spouses. 

Total net cash income per farm was $25,000 for all farms, 

$17,000 for farms with sales of less than $20,000, and $46,000 

for farms with sales of $40,000 or more. Net cash farm income 

per farm was $12,000 for all farms, $1,000 for farms with sales 

of less than $20,000, and $36,000 for farms with sales of 

$40,000 or more. Off-farm income per farm was $15,000 for 

all farms, $17,000 for farms with sales of less than $20,000, 

and $12,000 for farms with sales of $40,000 or more. (See

GENERAL INFORMATION 

To make recordkeeping more economical, every 

case drawn in the Farm Finance Survey has a 

separate Census File Number. In order to close 

out the survey, we need a reply from everyone 

receiving the report form, whether agricultural 

operatiom were conducted in 1979 or not. 

Please follow the instructions given below for 

completing section 1. You will then be able 

to determine what additional information is 

to be provided. 

1, The enclosed report form may contain 

sections and inquiries which do not apply to 

you. Where this is the case, you may simply 

mark the "None" or "No" box and go on to 

the next item or section. 

2. If You Receive More Than One Report Form 

for the 1979 Farm Finance Survey 

If you had multiple farming operations, you 

should complete a report form for EACH 

SEPARATE and DISTINCT production unit 

(farm, ranch, feedlot, greenhouse, etc" for 

which you maintained SEPARATE records 

of operating expense and sales, livestock and 

other inventories, crop acreages, and 

production). 

If you received more than one report form 

and you DID NOT have multiple farming 

operations, complete only ONE report form 

for your place. Near the address label of 

each extra report form write "Extra" and 

the 11-digit Census File Number from the 

label of the report form you complete. 

Return the extra report(s) in the same 

envelope with your completed report form, 

so that we can remove the extra addresses 

from our mail register. 

3, Partnership Operations 

Complete only ONE report form for the 

entire partnership farm and ranch operations, including all partners' shares on the 

same report. If two or more report forms 

were received for the partnership see item 2 

above. 

A partnership is an association of two or 

more persons who have agreed (informally 

or under legal contract) on the amount of 

their contributions or profits. 

Co·ownership of land by husband and wife 

or joint filing of income tax forms does not 

constitute a partnership unless an agreement 

to share contributions, decisionmaking, 

profits, and liabilities also exists. The 

"Senior Partner" should complete the report 

form for this operation_ Consider the 

"Senior Partner" as the person mainly in 

charge of the agricultural operation on this 

place. I f partners share the work equally, 

consider the oldest individual as the "Senior 

Partner."

accurate, please enter your answers in the 

proper spaces, on the correct lines, and in 

the units requested, i.e., dollars, acres, etc. 

Write any explanation outside the answer 

spaces, in the remarks section, or on a
