ACKNOWLEDGMENTS-Many persons participated in the various activities of the 1974 

Census of Agriculture. Primary direction was by 

Shirley Kallek, Associate Director for Economic Fields. Her predecessor, James W. 

Turbitt, now Associate Director for Administration and Field Operations, directed the early 

stages of planning for the census. 

This report was prepared in the Agriculture 

Division under the general supervision of J. 

Thomas Breen, Chief (to February 1976), and 

Orvin l. Wilhite, his successor. Arnold L. 

Bollenbacher, assisted by Thomas D. Monroe, 

Donald R. Jahnke, John A. Blackledge, William 

A. Harlan, and John C. Womack, was directly 

responsible for review and analysis of the data 

and for clerical and computer edit and tabulation specifications. Kenneth R. Norell, assisted 

by Albert W. Graybill, coordinated the organization and content of the publication tables. 

Robert S. Taylor, assisted by John E. Adkins, 

Stephen M. Schobel, Loyd C. Brown, Jack H. 

Margolis, Edward J. James, and William R. 

Adams, was directly responsible for the operational aspects of data collection, processing, 

and tabulation, including preparation of control 

systems, clerical procedures, and computer 

programs. Janet W. Hall provided editorial 

services and coded the Linotron table formats 

of this report for publication via the Linotron 

computer system. J. Jack Ingram (to September 

1974) and Charles E. Rogers, his successor, 

assisted by Darrell D. Prochaska and Harold V. 

Edwards, were directly responsible for mailing 

list acquisition and unduplication, de~ign of 

sampling procedures for data collection, monitoring of processing, and evaluation of coverage. J. Thomas Miller, Consultant, assisted in 

the design and content of the data collection 

forms and followup letters, specifications for 

publication tables, and preparation of text. 0. 

Bryant Benton, Chief, Data Preparation Division, Jeffersonville, Indiana (to March 1976), 

and Don l. Adams, his successor, assisted by 

Robert L. Allen, Rebecca Nesbit, and Darrell L. 

Farabee, were directly responsible for clerical 

and data-encoding operations. 

The computer processing facilities used were 

under the general supervision of James R. 

Pepal, Chief, Computer Services Division (to 

May 1976), and Thomas C. DiNenna, his 

successor. 

Forms design was accomplished under the 

general supervision of Cecil B. Matthews, Chief, 

Administrative Services Division (to September 

1975), and Henry J. Husmann, his successor, 

assisted by Gladys S. Potts and Cathern S. 

Kline. 

Within the Publications Services Division, many 

individuals made significant contributions in 

the areas of publication planning and design, 

editorial review, composition, and printing 

procurement. 

Important contributions were made by the 

members of the Census Advisory Committee on 

Agriculture Statistics in establishing data needs· 

and priorities for collection and publication of 

the information. Other representatives of both 

public and private organizations also made 

significant recommendations and· suggestions. 

Members of various agencies of the U.S. Department of Agriculture provided advice and 

counsel during the planning, data collecting, 

and processing phases of the census and assisted 

farmers and ranchers who requested help in 

completing the report form. 

The press, farm magazines, and radio and 

television stations, were most helpful in publicizing the census and encouraging cooperation 

of farm and ranch operators. Dean L. Quirin, 

Agriculture Division, and Dorothy W. Whitson, 

Public Information Office, were primarily 

responsible for developing and coordinating the 

public relations program. 

Special tribute is paid to the millions of farm 

and ranch operators and other agricultureassociated people who furnished the information requested in the census. Only through their 

cooperation was it possible to collect and 

publish the data in this report.

INTRODUCTION 

Authority, Area Covered, 

and History 

The 1974 Census of Agriculture was 

taken in accordance with the provisions 

of Title 13, United States Code, reaffirmed by section 818 of the Agriculture and Consumer Protection Act of 

1973 (Public Law 93-86). Sections 142(a) 

and 191 of Title 13 provide for a census 

of agriculture every 5 years in each State, 

the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, 

Guam, <~nd the Virgin Islands. 

The 1974 census is the 20th nationwide census of agriculture and the second 

conducted primarily by mail. The first 

agricultural census data were collected in 

1840 as part of the sixth decennial 

census. Since that time, a census of 

agriculture has been a part of each 

decennial census program, and since 1920 

a national census of agriculture has been 

taken every 5 years. 

Farm Definition 

For each of the 20 censuses of agriculture 

except the first, taken in 1840, the 

agency responsible for conducting the 

census has established minimum criteria 

which define a farm for the purpose of 

the census. As the Nation has developed 

and grown, agriculture also has changed 

and grown, and from time to time the 

minimum criteria for the definition of a 

farm have been changed. 

Prior to 1974, the eighth and most 

recent change in minimum criteria was 

for the 1959 Census of Agriculture, when 

the definition of a farm was based primarily on a combination of acres in the 

place and value of agricultural products 

sold. 

The word "place" was defined to include all land on which agricultural operations were conducted at any time in the 

census year under the day-to-day control 

or supervision of one person or partnership. Control may have been exercised 

through ownership or management or 

through a lease, rental, or cropping 

arrangement. 

Places of less than 10 acres in the 

census year were counted as farms if the 

estimated safes of agricultural products 

for the year amounted to at least $250. 

Places of 10 or more acres in the census 

year were counted as farms if the estimated sales of agricultural products 

for the year amounted to at feast $50. 

Places having less than the $50 or $250 

minimum estimated sales in the census 

year were also counted as farms if they 

could normally be expected to produce 

agricultural products in sufficient quantity to meet the requirements of the 

definition. 

Using the 1959 definition, the 1969 

census reported about 571,000 farms in 

the United States having safes of less than 

$1 ,000; these farms comprised 20.9 

percent of all farms but contributed less 

than 1 percent of total sales. In 1974 

there were only about 152,000 such 

farms, accounting for less than 6 hundredths of 1 percent of total sales. 

Between censuses many of these small 

farms had ceased operations, while 

many others had sales of $1 ,000 or more 

in the census year, either because of increased agricultural activity or because 

of increases in the per unit value of agricultural products sold. 

In view of increases in price levels and 

other changes in the structure of agricultural operations, various individuals 

and organizations, including members of 

the Census Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics, the Office of Management and Budget, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, agreed that a change 

in the definition of a farm was justified. 

The Department of Commerce announced 

on August 12, 1975, that the census definition of a farm, for purposes of publishing the 1974 census data, was any 

establishment which during the census 

year had or normally would have had 

sales of agricultural products of $1,000 

or more. 

In the next 10 months, Congress 

held four hearings on the appropriateness 

of changing the definition. During this 

time, Public Law 94-229, enacted March 

15, 1976, included a provision requiring 

the statistical classification of farms in 

effect on January 1, 1975, to be continued in effect through June 30, 1976, 

and that any statistical report issued on 

or before June 30, 1976, should reflect 

such classification, but could also include 

additional classifications as deemed appropriate by the Secretary of Commerce. 

Definition for preliminary reports. Publication of the preliminary county reports 

began in April 1976, and these reports 

for all counties and States, the four regions, and the United States were tabulated and published in accordance with 

the same farm definition used for the 

1959, 1964, and 1969 censuses. 

Definition for final reports. For all final 

reports, the 1974 statistics are in accordance with the 1974 definition, which 

differs from the earlier definition in only 

two respects: 

IX 
INTRODUCTION Continued 

1. The criterion for number of "acres 

in place" has been deleted. 

2. The criterion for minumum value 

of agricultural products sold has 

been changed to $1 ,000. 

Thus for 1974, a farm was defined to 

include all land on which agricultural 

operations were conducted at any time 

in the census year under the day-to-day 

control of an individual management, 

and from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were sold during the 

census year. Control may have been exercised through ownership or management, or through a lease, rental, or cropping arrangement. Places having less than 

the minimum $1,000 sales in the census 

year were also counted as farms if they 

could normally be expected to produce 

agricultural products in sufficient quantity to meet the requirements of the 

definition. 

Three tables in this report provide 

users with measures of the effect of the 

change in definition: The table following 

this introduction shows farms and sales, 

by county, for 1974 and 1969, for both 

the old and the new definitions, and also 

for those places exduded by the 1974 

but not by the 1959 definition. In chapter 

II, table 33 presents data by county for 

1974 showing comparisons between 

farms ( 1974 definition) and agricultural 

operations that would have been farms 

under the 1959 definition. The table that 

comprises appendix 8 presents data by 

State for 1974 and 1969 showing characteristics of 1974 agricultural operations 

excluded by the new definition and of 

1969 farms having less than $1 ,000 total 

value of sales. 

The 1974 "all farms" data shown in 

State tables 1 through 9 and county 

tables 1 through 10 are for those agricultural operations with at least $1 ,000 

in total (or potential) sales of farm products. All other tables in this report 

are I imited to farms with sales of $2,500 

or more (see the paragraphs in appendix A that describe the report forms 

and the enumeration method). 

Comparability of Data 

In general, data for 1974 and earlier 

X 

censuses are comparable with data from 

earlier censuses only for farms with 

$2,500 or more total value of sales, because the data for farms with $2,500 

or more value of sales are not affected 

by the change in farm definition. Data 

for all farms for 1974 are based on the 

new definition so they are not directly 

comparable to earlier censuses. It is also 

important to note that in addition to 

the difference in farm definition used 

in this report from that in the preliminary 

version, this final report contains 1974 

figures which will not agree with figures 

in the preliminary reports because of 

corrections, additions, and deletions. 

Even for farms with $2,500 or more 

value of sales, the difference in timing 

and the change from personal interview 

to mail enumeration affect the comparability between the data for 1974 

and 1969 and that for earlier censuses. 

Both 1974 and 1969 censuses were taken 

by mail; all earlier censuses were taken 

by direct interview. 

Dramatic changes in rates of farm 

expenditure and unit prices of products 

sold between the 1969 and 1974 censuses 

affect the comparability of some census 

data. During the period between the two 

censuses, prices paid by farmers greatly 

increased. Prices received by farmers also 

increased but with wide fluctuations 

among commodities at different times 

during the census year of 1974. 

Crop and livestock production data are 

for the calendar year 1974, except for a 

few crops (such as citrus) for which the 

production year overlaps the calendar 

year. Expenditures, crops irrigated, usage 

of agricultural chemicals and fertilizers, 

and sale of farm products were all asked 

for the calendar year. Respondents were 

instructed to report inventory numbers of 

livestock, poultry, and other specified 

items as of December 31, 1974. The 

reporting period and inventory data are 

the same as for the 1969 census. 

Censuses prior to 1969 were taken by 

enumerators, each assigned to a specific 

geographic area. Field work for the 1964 

and 1959 censuses was completed largely 

in October, November, and December of 

the reference year. Livestock and poultry 

inventories for those two censuses were as 

of the time of enumeration. Other variations in time of enumeration occurred in 

censuses prior to 1959. 

Graphics 

On the following pages, there is a graphic 

presentation of selected agricultural 

statistics for this State. The first four dot 

maps are being published for all States. 

The second four dot maps have been 

selected to present data of particular 

importance to this State. 

Tabular Presentation 

State data-l n chapter I, State tables 1 

through 27 show detailed State level data 

generally accompanied by historical data 

for one or more censuses. Tables 28 

through 33 provide 1974 State data 

cross-tabulated by various farm classifications. 

County summary data-A summary of 

selected data items for each county of the 

State is presented in chapter II of this 

publication. In these tables the counties 

are listed in alphabetical order with the 

State total at the beginning of each table. 

County miscellaneous data-In chapter 

Ill, data for additional crop and livestock 

items not common to a large number of 

counties are reported in a separate set of 

tables by county for each State. Some of 

these items, even though reported in only 

a few counties of the State, are sufficiently important to account for a significant proportion of the agricultural 

production. 

Counties not having the subject item 

of a given table, or with only a very 

limited number of farms reporting the 

item, are not listed separately; their data 

are combined with other counties and 

presented as "All other." 

Final county data-Six pages of data are 

presented in chapter IV for each county 

with 10 farms or more in 1974. The 

tables include final data for each county 

and are more comprehensive than those 

in the preliminary reports. Data are for 

the year 1974 with inventory (on place) 
INTRODUCTION Continued 

figures as of December 31, 1974. Information covering all farms and farms 

with sales of $2,500 and over are presented for both the 1974 and 1969 

censuses. A State level six-page report like 

the county report is published at the 

beginning of the chapter. 

Preliminary county data-Preliminary reports have been published separately for 

all counties in the United States with 10 

farms or more in 1974. This four-page 

series provided, at the earliest possible 

date, usable information on a limited 

number of major data items, with comparative final figures from the 1969 census. 

The reports were issued on a flow 

basis, with a State report following the 

release of the last county report for each 

State. Tables showing regional and U.S. 

totals were also prepared as a part of this 

series. 

For all States, the same table format 

was used to present the data except data 

for six selected crops shown in table 7. 

These crops were varied by State depending upon their relative importance. 

For major items at the county level 

differences between the preliminary and 

final figures are in general less than 5 

percent. At the State level, differences are 

significantly less. 

"See Text" Reference 

The remark "See text" in the tables refers 

to explanations, definitions, and classifications in sections 5 and 6 of appendix A.

1974 Census of Agriculture-County Data 
APPENDIX A. General Explanation 

1. Taking the Census 

Enumeration Method 

The growing complexity in the structure 

of American agriculture along with increasing numbers of farm operators living 

off-farm have made an enumerator-type 

census as conducted in the past increasingly difficult. The mailout/mailback 

census, made possible by the availability 

of relatively complete administrative lists, 

provides the respondent the opportunity 

to complete the report more nearly at his 

own convenience than in an enumeratortype census. Generally the quality of data 

on reports completed by operators 

exceeds that of reports filled out by 

enumerators. Based on the overall satisfactory experience with the mailout/ 

mailback procedure used in 1969, a decision was made to continue the mail 

procedure for 1974. 

In censuses prior to 1969, enumerators 

were assigned to enumerate all farms in a 

specified geographic area and were instructed to call on all farm operators in 

person. Beginning with the 1950 census, 

copies of the report form were mailed to 

rural boxholders prior to the enumeration's starting date, and farm operators 

were asked to complete the forms and 

have them ready for the enumerator to 

collect. Enumerators going door-to-<loor 

in rural areas would pickup and review 

any forms that had been completed; they 

would also fill out or complete reports 

for those places having some agricultural 

operations which did not have forms 

completed and ready for review. 

The mailout/mailback procedure has 

not been used in taking the agriculture 

census in Puerto Rico, Guam, and the 

Virgin Islands. A discussion of the direct 

enumeration methods used appears in the 

reports for these outlying areas. 

Mailing List 

The starting point for the enumeration of 

the 1974 census was the mailing list, 

which consisted of all persons and organizations that could be identified from 

administrative records as associated with 

agricultural operations in 1973 or 1974. 

The list was assembled from the records 

of the 1969 Census of Agriculture and 

those of other government agencies. Only 

the more comprehensive sets of administrative records containing information 

related to agricultural activities were 

initially used. This included records 

primarily from the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, the 

Internal Revenue Service, and the Social 

Security Administration. 

To improve the mailing list and to 

identify individual units of multiestablishment farming operations-particularly 

corporations, a precanvass of the larger, 

more complex, and specialized operations 

(approximately 55,000 cases mostly 

identified from the 1969 agriculture 

census plus those in the file of companies 

in retail, wholesale, and manufacturing 

areas known to have agricultural operations) was conducted in early 1974. This 

survey identified over 6,200 multiestablishment companies or other organizations having one or more separate 

establishments (or locations) producing 

agricultural products or providing agricultural services to others. In many cases, 

these agricultural establishments were in 

addition to nonagricultural establishments operated by the company. Separate 

census report forms were required of each 

individual farming unit or agricultural 

establishment identified in the precanvass. 

The precanvass form also provided information to distinguish primary farming 

corporations from business-associated 

farming corporations and family-controlled corporations from other corporations. 

Lists of specialized operations, such as 

nurseries and broiler growers which 

might not be identified in other administrative records, as well as selected lists 

of other large and/or specialized producers, such as feedlots and fish farms, 

were included in the mail list. In total, 

about 130,000 special list names were 

included. 

The master list primarily contained 

the names and addresses of persons and 

organizations known to be associated 

with agricultural operations in 1973. It 

was constructed by merging and unduplicating the various source lists on the basis 

of Social Security or Employee Identification numbers, along with some unduplication based on alphabetic matching of 

names and addresses. To facilitate processing, each name on the master list was 

assigned a size code to indicate an estimate of value of sales as well as a code for 

county location. Most duplicate names 

not identified prior to mailing were either 

reported by respondents or located during the office processing. 

Report Forms 

Two basic census report forms were used 

for all States except Alaska and Hawaii. 

A regular 18-page report form was mailed 

to all farms whose 1974 sales of agricultural products were expected to total 

$2,500 or more. A short six-page report 

form was sent to all operators whose 

1974 sales were expected to total less 

A-1 
APPENDIX A Continued 

than $2,500. This short form covered the 

major subjects (crops, land use, livestock 

and poultry, equipment, expenditures, 

and value of sales), but omitted most of 

the additional detail found in the regular 

form. Both report forms, with the instructions for completing them, are reproduced in appendix C. 

As for 1969, a short form was used so 

that operators of the smaller places would 

not be burdened with the extensive detail 

needed from the larger operators. In 

1969, there were 996,567 farms with 

annual sales of less than $2,500 (about 36 

percent of all farms), but they accounted 

for less than 2 percent of the total value 

of all farm products sold. For 1974, 

preliminary tabulations indicate that this 

group of farms will number approximately 770,000, or 31.4 percent of all 

farms and will account for less than 1.3 

percent of the total value of farm products sold by all farms. 

In Alaska, the regular report form was 

used to enumerate all farms. For Hawaii, 

a modified version of the regular form 

was used for all farms. The modifications 

were made principally in the crops section in order to cover the specialized 

agriculture on the islands. 

Initial Mailing 

The report forms were mailed during the 

last week of December 1974 and the first 

week of January 1975 to all persons and 

organizations on the mailing list. This 

mailing consisted of approximately 

4,133,000 report forms (2,391 ,000 regular forms and 1, 742,000 short forms). 

Undeliverable mail returned by the 

Postal Service reduced the mailing list 

by 232,000, including 67,000 regular 

forms and 165,000 short forms. 

Instructions for completing the forms 

were attached in the centerfold of each 

form. In 'an effort to provide additional 

help to farmers in completing their 

reports, approximately 35,000 copies 

of a Farm Census Guide booklet were 

sent to county officials to whom farmers 

might turn for assistance. Included were 

rural banks, vocational agricultural instructors, and the following county 

offices: Agricultural Stabilization and 

A-2 

Conservation Service, Soil Conservation 

Service, Farmer's Home Administration, 

and Agricultural Extension Service. This 

guide contained descriptions and defini· 

tions for various items in more detail 

than the instructions included with 

each report form. Representatives of 

the above agencies were asked to assist 

the farmers in filling out their report 

forms if the farmers came to them for 

help. 

The regular report form was to be 

filled out by all farm operators who 

received it regardless of the amount of 

farm products sold. When recipients of 

the short form reported sales in 1974 

substantially greater than $2,500, it was 

sometimes necessary to contact them 

again for the additional data needed to 

complete the more detailed regular form. 

If the recipient of a regular report form 

had sales less than $2,500, the data were 

condensed during the processing to those 

items appearing on the short form. 

Followup Procedures 

Data collection plans included a "thank 

you" card and four followup letters, two 

of which were accompanied by census 

report forms at approximately 1-month 

intervals. Data collection was expected to 

be substantially completed by June 30. 

However, because of a marked increase in 

respondent resistance as compared with 

the 1969 census, the data collection 

phase was extended into the office processing phase. Additional followup letters 

were sent to the remaining nonrespondents in June, July, August, and November. Nonrespondent addresses believed to 

be operating farms with sales of $40,000 

or more were contacted by telephone 

during the period April 1975 through 

February 1976. Most of the nonresponse 

telephone calls were made by the staff of 

the Data Preparation Division in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Some of the calls to the 

more complex cases were referred to the 

Agriculture Division staff for handling. In 

total, nearly 107,000 cases were completed by telephone during this period. 

As part of the routine followup procedures, specialized farms indentified on 

the mailing list as producing products 

such as broilers, beef cattle, hogs, etc. 

were checked to insure coverage in the 

census. If no report had been received for 

farms on these special lists, they were 

contacted by telephone to obtain the re· 

quired information. Also, farms and ranches with large acreage in the 1969 census 

were checked to insure coverage in 1974. 

If reports were missing, telephone calls 

were made to obtain the necessary in· 

formation to insure coverage. In some 

instances, successor operators were discovered and enumerated. The processing 

system provided for the inclusion of 

missing reports as late as the final tabulation of the county data for each State. 

2. Major Changes in Data Collected 

A number of items generally collected in 

follow-on surveys were included on the 

regular census report form for 1974. The 

major changes and modifications were in: 

Fuel and grain storage facilities 

Artificial ponds, pits, reservoirs, and 

earthen tanks 

Futures market 

Contracts 

Payroll and employment 

Injuries and illnesses 

Farm credit 

Family income from off-farm sources 

These changes represent only a small 

part of those recommended. All recommendations were reviewed by the Census 

Advisory Committee on Agriculture Sta· 

tistics, which then suggested priorities 

for items to be included in the census. 

The Census Bureau had final responsibility for the content, wording, and format of the report forms. 

Besides the major additions, a limited 

number of items were included or asked 

in more detail than otherwise necessary 

so as to improve the quality of the data 

collected. For example, totals were asked 

for several detailed items to be used for 

cross checking data. These cross-check 

totals were asked for such items as value 

of cattle and calves sold, amount of cash 

wages paid, and chemical costs. 
APPENDIX A Continued 

3. Office Processing 

All report forms were reviewed prior to 

keying the data to magnetic tapes. Re· 

ports were subjected to a clerical screening review, during which significant notes 

or major problems were referred to technical assistants or, if necessary, to the 

professional analyst for solution. Records 

of all large agricultural operations, including multiunit operations and operations 

having $500,000 or more sales of agricultural products in 1974 (lesser levels in 

specified States) were reviewed by professional employees of the Agriculture 

Division. Omissions, inconsistencies, and 

other problems that could not be resolved 

by reference to other information on the 

report were resolved by contact (usually 

telephone) with the respondent. 

The data for each report form were 

subject to a detailed item-by-item computer edit which required almost the full 

capacity of a large electronic computer. 

The program made comprehensive checks 

for consistency and reasonableness, corrected data found to be in error or 

inconsistent, supplied key missing data, 

and assigned farm classification codes 

which were necessary for tabulation of 

the data. Entries of large magnitude and 

significant computer changes of a doubtful nature were manually verified for 

accuracy. Obvious errors such as reports 

of cotton and citrus in the Northern 

States were also identified and corrected. 

However, it was impossible to identify 

and correct all errors or to supply 

estimates for all the incompleteness 

within the census reports. These factors 

and others may affect the reliability of 

some data for some minor items, but they 

will not have a significant effect on major 

data items in any county. 

4. 1969 Data Corrections 

Some 1969 data have been revised since 

publication of the 1969 census. The 

revisions corrected sizeable data errors in 

14 counties and reporting and processing 

errors affecting four data items in a 

larger number of counties and States. 

The major county revisions were for: 

Cullman, Alabama-revised broilers 

sold and related data. 

lnyo, California-revised land in farms 

and related data. 

Hawaii, Honolulu, Kauai, and Maui, 

Hawaii-revised number of fattened 

cattle and related data. 

Spencer, Indiana-revised cattle and 

calves inventory. 

Harford, M1ryland-revised acreage of 

total cropland. 

Marshall, Minnesota-revised acreage 

of land in farms. 

Dodge, Nebraska-revised number of 

milk cows and value of sales. 

Merrick, Nebraska-revised cattle and 

calves sold and related data. 

Rusk, Texas-revised cattle and calves 

sold and related data. 

Hampshire and Jefferson, West Virginia-revised cattle and calves sold 

and related data. 

The revisions to correct for reporting 

and processing errors were made on: 

Acres and production of Irish potatoes 

harvested. 

Acres artificially drained. 

Total acreage fertilized. 

Acreage of land in orchards fertilized 

(only in Wisconsin). 

5. Definitions and Explanations 

The following definitions and explanations relate to items which require a more 

detailed description than is in the tables. 

Many of the items are followed in the 

tables by a "(See text)" notation. Most of 

the terms and their explanations are 

taken from the instructions printed on 

the report forms or issued with the forms. 

For an exact wording of the questions on 

the two different report forms used in 

1974 for the conterminuous United 

States, and the instruction sheets which 

accompanied these forms, see appendix 

c. 

A further discussion and more detailed 

analysis of the items included on the 

report forms and of the published data is 

given in Volume II, Statistics by Subject, 

of the 1974 Census of Agriculture. 

Most definitions of items and terms 

are the same as used in 1969 and earlier 

censuses. In general, processing steps and 

procedures for 1974 were designed to 

develop a report as fully comparable as 

possible with reports of earlier censuses. 

Land area-The approximate total land 

area of counties and States shown for 

1974 represents the land area as determined by records and calculations updated as of January 1, 1970. These data 

are updated periodically; however, the 

acreages shown for 1974 are essentially 

the same as in 1969. Any differences 

between the land area in 1974 and 1969 

would be due to new construction of 

reservoirs, change in number and size of 

reservoirs, lakes, streams, etc. 

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 includes 

woodland and wasteland not actually 

under cultivation nor used for pasture or 

grazing, provided it was part of the farm 

operator's total operation. Large acreages 

of woodland or wasteland held for nonagricultural purposes were deleted from 

individual reports during the processing 

operations. 

Land in farms is an operating unit 

concept and includes land owned and 

operated as well as land rented from 

others. Land used rent free was to be 

reported as land rented from others. 

Except for open range and grazing land 

used under government permits, all grazing land was included as "land in farms" 

provided the place was part of a farm or 

ranch. Grazing land operated by grazing 

associations was to be reported by the 

person chiefly responsible for conducting 

the business of the association. All land in 

Indian reservations used for growing 

crops or grazing livestock was to be 

included as land in farms. Land in Indian 

reservations not reported by individual 

Indians or non-Indians was to be reported 

in the name of the cooperative group 

which used the land. In some cases, an 

entire Indian reservation was reported as 

one farm. 

A-3 
APPENDIX A Continued 

Data on ownership of land, type of 

rental arrangements, and farms with grazing permits are shown in Volume II with 

totals for each State. 

Land in two or more counties-With few 

exceptions, the land in each farm was 

tabulated as being in the operator's principal county. The principal county was 

defined as the one where the largest value 

of the agricultural products was raised or 

produced. It was usually where the operator reported all or the largest proportion 

of his total land. For a limited number of 

counties in the Western States, this pro· 

cedure has resulted in more land in farms 

being counted within a county than there 

is land area. To minimize this distortion, 

some exceptions were developed from a 

survey of large-scale farms carried out 

prior to the mailing of the census forms. 

This survey identified about 1 ,600 opera· 

tions as having more than one separately 

reportable farm unit. Other reports re· 

ceived showing land in noncontiguous 

counties were separated into two or more 

reports if the data would significantly 

affect the county totals. These reports 

were assigned to the appropriate counties 

during office processing. 

Value of land and buildings-The re· 

spondents were asked to report their 

estimate of the current market value of 

land and buildings owned, rented or 

leased from others, and rented or leased 

to others. Market value refers to the 

respondent's estimate of what the land 

and buildings would sell for under present 

market conditions. 

If the value of land and buildings was 

not reported, it was estimated during 

office processing by using the average 

value of farms having similar charac· 

teristics in the same area. 

Farm operator-The term "farm opera· 

tor" designates a person who operates a 

farm, either doing the work himself or 

directly supervising the work. He may be 

the owner, a member of the owner's 

household, a salaried manager, a tenant, a 

renter, or a sharecropper. If he rents land 

to others or has land worked on shares by 

others, he is considered the operator only 

A-4 

of the land which he retains for his own 

operation. In the case of partnerships, 

only one partner is counted as an operator. For census purposes, the number of 

farm operators is the same as the number 

of farms. In some cases, the operator was 

not the individual named on the address 

label of the questionnaire, but another 

family member or a partner or hired 

manager who was actually in charge of 

the farm operations. 

The term "farms" in the presentation 

of data denotes the number of farms 

reporting the item. For example, if there 

were 3,710 farms in a State and 842 of 

these farms had 27,381 cattle and calves, 

the data for those farms reporting cattle 

and calves would appear as: 

Cattle and calves ......... farms..... 842 

number .. 27,381 

Farm operator characteristics-Operator 

characteristics such as race or origin, 

residence, age, occupation, and off-farm 

work, were collected for all farms with 

sales of under $2,500 and for farms with 

sales of $2,500 and over operated by 

individuals or partnerships. These data 

were not obtained for corporations and 

other types of organizations such as 

cooperatives, prison farms, grazing associ· 

ations, and Indian reservations. 

Family off-farm income-In the absence 

of a sample follow-on survey, such as was 

conducted for the last three censuses, five 

questions were added to the 1974 report 

form for farms with sales of $2,500 and 

over to obtain data on income from 

off-farm sources. These sources included 

income from a professional practice, cash 

wages, salaries, interest, dividends, royal· 

ties, pensions, etc. These data were in· 

eluded in the census to provide a better 

understanding of the present income distribution in agriculture and for the devel· 

opment of future policies and agricultural 

programs. Off-farm income data were 

not obtained for farms operated by 

corporations and other organizations. 

Similar data have been collected in 1960, 

1965, and 1970 in sample surveys taken 

as part of the census program. 

Family income from other sources greater 

than agricultural sales-For farms with 

sales of $2,500 and over, this classification is based on a comparison of the 

sum of farm-related and off-farm income 

sources with the value of agricultural 

sales. For farms with sales of under 

$2,500, the report form included a 

separate inquiry about the relationship of 

off-farm and other income sources to 

agricultural sales. The response to that 

inquiry was used as a basis for this 

classification. 

For ease of reference to this classifi· 

cation in some tables, the term "off-farm 

income" applies to both farm-related and 

off-farm sources. A separate line is 

shown in most tables for farms not 

reporting or reporting no farm-related or 

off-farm income. 

Value of crops harvested-This item 

represents the estimated value of all crops 

harvested during the 1974 crop year. 

Data for the value of crops harvested 

were obtained by multiplying the average 

estimated values per unit by the operators' reports of acres or quantities har· 

vested. In instances where only acres 

hlrvested were reported, State estimates 

of value of production per acre were 

used. Generally, harvested units of 

production (pounds, bushels, bales, etc.) 

were multiplied by State estimates of 

price per unit. A combination of these 

two factors was used when only acres 

harvested were requested of small farms, 

but units of production were requested of 

larger farms. The State average production prices used in these calculations were 

obtained in most part from publications 

by the Statistical Reporting Service, U.S. 

Department of Agriculture (USDA). 

When USDA estimates were not available, 

Bureau of the Census statisticians made 

estimates using available sources such as 

data from adjacent States, respondents, 

report forms, and county extension 

agents and other persons knowledgeable 

about specific crops. 

Value of livestock on farms-Data for 

value of livestock and poultry on farms 

were obtained by multiplying the number 

of livestock of each major age and sex 
APPENDIX A Continued 

group by the State average price. The 

State average prices for cattle, hogs, 

sheep, Angora goats, and hens and pullets 

were obtained primarily from data 

published by the Statistical Reporting 

Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Prices applied to other types of 

livestock were census-derived averages 

based primarily on reported value of sales 

for these types in the 1974 Census of 

Agriculture. The 1969 and 1964 data 

were developed in a similar manner. 

Value of agricultural products sold-This 

item represents the gross market value 

before taxes and production expenditures 

of all agricultural products sold or removed from the place in 1974 regardless 

of who received the payment. It includes 

receipts by the operator as well as the 

value of any shares received by partners, 

landlords, contractors and others associated with the place. 

The total value of agricultural products represents the sum of all crops 

including nursery products sold, forest 

products sold, and poultry and livestock 

and their products sold. It does not 

include income from farm-related sources 

such as agricultural services, government 

farm programs, or recreation and other 

related sources, or income from nonfarm 

sources. Data from these sources of 

income are shown separately in various 

State and county tables. 

The value of crops sold in 1974 does 

not necessarily represent sales from crops 

harvested in 1974. An examination of a 

sample of individual reports indicated 

extensive reporting of sales from crops 

produced in 1973. Some cash grain farms 

indicated that the 1974 grain crops were 

in storage and there were no sales from 

the 1974 crop. Likewise, some farms 

reported sales in 197 4 from two different 

crop years. 

Data for the value of agricultural 

products sold were obtained on both the 

regular and short forms directly from the 

respondents in the 197 4 and 1969 Censuses of Agriculture. This procedure was a 

departure from the one used in previous 

censuses in which data on value of sales 

were obtained by enumeration for some 

products and were estimated for others. 

For cases in which the farm operator 

failed to report a value of sales, estimates 

were made based on the amount of crops 

harvested or the numbers of livestock 

sold. Although similar procedures were 

used in earlier censuses, the extent of 

sales estimation has increased in each of 

the recent censuses. Extensive estimation 

of market values was required for farms 

growing or producing products under 

contract. 

Caution should be applied when comparing sales in 1974 with sales reported in 

earlier censuses due to the extreme ranges 

in per unit prices between census years. 

Reported values for 1974 varied greatly 

from farm to farm because of the monthto-month price per-unit variations within 

the 1974 census year. 

Farms by value of agricultural products 

sold-Counts of farms by value of agricultural products sold are shown by various 

size groups in a number of the county 

and State tables. Data are shown separately for all farms and for farms with 

sales of $2,500 and over. Detailed characteristics of farms with sales of $2,500 

and over classified by value of sales are 

shown in State table 31. At the State 

level, 1974 farms with sales of $100,000 

and over have been further classified into 

three groups: $100,000 to $199,999, 

$200,000 to $499,999, and $500,000 

and over. These data are shown in State 

tables 15 and 28 through 33. Characteristics of farms with sales of under $2,500 

are shown by age and occupation of the 

farm operator in State table 9. 

Under $1,000 sales-In county summary 

table 33 and appendix B, the "Under 

$1 ,000" category includes only those 

operations reporting sales less than 

$1,000 and not having the potential 

resources on hand to produce $1 ,000 or 

more in sales. In county table 3, county 

summary table 7, and State tables 4 and 

9, the under $1,000 category includes 

those farms reporting less than $1,000 

in sales, but having the potential for 

sales of $1,000 or more. 

$1,000 to $7,499 sales-For county 

summary table 7, this categor',t includes 

those farms reporting sales of under 

$1,000, but having the potential for 

sales of between $1,000 and $2,500. 

Under $2,500 sales-In all tables except 

county summary table 7, the "All farms" 

category includes those farms with sales 

of under $2,500 without regard to 

potential sales. In county summary table 

7, the "under $2,500 sales" category 

excludes abnormal farms and farms having the potential (unrealized in 1974) for 

sales of $2,500 and over. 

In county table 3 and State tables 9, 

15, 26, and 28 through 33, the classification "Farms with sales of $2,500 and 

over" (usually designated in column 

headings) includes farms reporting sales 

of under $2,500, but having the production potential for sales of $2,500 and 

over. 

$2,500 to $4,999 sales-In county summary table 7 and in the boxhead for State 

table 31, this category includes those 

farms, other than abnormal farms, having 

reported sales of $2,500 to $4,999 and 

those farms with lesser sales but having 

the potential for sales of $2,500 and over. 

In county table 3, 1969 abnormal 

farms are classified in this sales group 

regardless of the value of their sales, but 

1974 abnormal farms were classified according to their actual sales. 

Farm sales by commodity or commodity 

group-In an effort to conform more 

closely to the 1972 Standard Industrial 

Classification (SIC), a number of commodity groupings were changed for 1974 

from those used for 1969. The next seven 

definitions reflect changes; the last does 

not. 

Other field crops-For 1974, this group 

includes the value of sales of peanuts, 

Irish potatoes, sweetpotatoes, sugar beets, 

sugar cane, popcorn, mint for oil, hops, 

etc. For 1969, the value of pineapples 

sold was also included. 

Fruits, nuts, and berries-For 1974, the 

value of pineapple sold is included in this 

group. For 1969, pineapple was considered a field crop. 

A-5 
APPENDIX A Continued 

Poultry and poultry products-For 1974, 

the value of poultry hatchery sales is 

included in this group. For 1969, it was 

not. The value of sales for poultry 

hatched is shown in State table 24 and in 

the county miscellaneous tables. (Also see 

Poultry hatcheries in this section). 

Sheep, lambs, and wool-For 1974, the 

value of sales of these items is shown 

separately. For 1969, this value was 

combined with that for hogs, goats, and 

mohair. 

Hogs and pigs-For 1974, the value of 

hogs and pigs sold is shown separately. 

For 1969, this value was combined with 

that for sheep, lambs, wool, goats, and 

mohair. 

Goats and mohair-For 1974, the value of 

goats and mohair sold is shown separately 

in the county miscellaneous tables, and in 

aggregate with the value of other livestock and livestock products. For 1969, 

this value was combined with that for 

sheep, lambs, wool, and hogs. 

Other livestock and livestock productsFor 1974, the production of fish and 

laboratory animals is included in the 

agriculture census, whereas for 1969 it 

was not. The value of fish raised and sold 

and laboratory animals sold is included in 

the category "Other livestock and livestock products." Separate data on fish 

production and sales are shown in State 

table 24. 

Forest products sold-As in previous 

censuses, the sales data shown for the 

1974 census for this item relate only to 

forest products sold from farms. Commercial logging, timber, or other types of 

forest product operations or establishments are excluded, as are places selling 

only forest products. Such operations or 

establishments are excluded from being 

classed as· agricultural production according to the Standard Industrial Classification in which they are classified as 

Forestry-Major Group 08. 

Total farm production expenses-The 

overall completeness of expenditures data 

reported by farm operators for 1974 is 

poorer than for most recent censuses. 

A-6 

This is especially true for farms producing 

crops, livestock, or poultry under contract. The majority of such operators did 

not know and were unwilling to estimate 

the value of production inputs furnished 

by the contractor. The scope of this 

phenomenon has been increasing as the 

structure of agriculture becomes more 

complex, requiring increased estimations 

of production expenses during office processing of individual census reports. These 

estimates were made for individual expenditures, and were based on the scope of 

related crop and livestock information for 

the individual report, or in some cases on 

averages or ratios of expenditures reported by similar farms in the same 

geographic area. 

The figures for 197 4 and 1969 are 

heavily weighted by the effect of reporting of "All other production expenses." 

Some farmers may have misinterpreted 

the intent of this question and reported 

capital improvement expenditures, purchase of long-term assets, household expenses, and other personal expenditures; 

others may have failed to include all 

applicable items. Any calculations of net 

farm income based on this census figure 

should be used with caution. 

Commercial fertilizer-Data for 1974 and 

1969 include the cost of rock phosphate 

and gypsum. These items were excluded 

from the 1964 figures. 

Other agricultural chemicals-These expenditures include the cost of all herbicides, fungicides, other pesticides, growth 

control chemicals, and defoliants used for 

crops or pastureland, and insecticides used 

for livestock and poultry during the 

census year. They also include expenditures for chemicals such as lime for soil 

treatment and sanitation, pesticides used 

for rodent and bird control, etc. A 

detailed breakdown by the purpose of the 

chemical application along with the related expenditure is shown for farms with 

sales of $2,500 and over in county table 

12 and State tables 13 and 28 through 

33. 

All other production expenses-This item 

was subject to extensive errors in reporting due to the complexity of concept and 

the numerous individual expense items 

eligible for inclusion in the one answer 

space. Respondents failed in many cases 

to follow the instructions specifying the 

type of expenditures to be included or 

excluded. Obvious errors were corrected 

during the processing, but the dollar 

figures for this item should be used with 

caution. For all statistical tables, this item 

includes the balance of production expenses for all items not already individually specified in the table. 

Crop classifications-Some respondents 

reported crops on lines designated for 

other crops. Obvious errors were corrected during processing; however, not all 

errors were corrected. For example, the 

wheat categories were so poorly reported 

that for most States, data by kind of 

wheat are not published. 

Hay crops-Data shown for hay represents all hay crops, including grass silage 

and hay cut green, unless otherwise specified. In showing production data for all 

hay crops, dry tons represent dry tonnage 

for the various hay categories and dryweight equivalent for grass silage and hay 

cut and fed green. The conversion used 

was 3 tons green weight to one ton dry. 

Land in vegetables-The total acres of 

land used for vegetables in 1974 shown in 

State table 8 and county summary table 

28 are not fully comparable to the acres 

published for 1969. For 1974, the data 

are the land from which vegetables were 

harvested; for 1969 the acres shown are 

the sum of the acres of the individual 

crops harvested. In areas where more than 

one vegetable crop is grown on the same 

land during the season, comparability is 

affected. 

Land in orchards-This includes land in 

bearing and nonbearing fruit trees, citrus 

or other groves, vineyards, and nut trees 

of all ages, including land on which all 

fruit crops failed. Respondents were instructed not to report abandoned plantings and plantings of less than 20 fruit, 

citrus, or nut trees, or of grapevines. 
APPENDIX A Continued 

Poultry hatcheries-The data shown for 

hatcheries do not represent the total of 

all hatchery production or value. The 

historical census concept of counting 

items as sold only if the product was 

taken from the farm dictated that only 

hatcheries which produced chicks, poults, 

and ducklings for sale or placement on 

other farms should be included in the 

census totals. Poultry hatched and raised 

for sale or for layer replacement on the 

same place have been excluded. For such 

operations, the value of sales from the 

final product, such as broilers, turkeys, or 

eggs, is counted in the census. The value 

of hatchery sales is included in the category "Poultry and poultry products" and 

is also shown separately in State table 24. 

Fish production-The raising of fish for 

sale was included as agricultural production by the 1972 SIC, and data for 

such operations are included in the agriculture census for the first time in 1974. 

As the commercial raising of fish is a 

relatively new industry, the census mailing register covering fish production may 

have been incomplete. Information on 

fish production and sales is shown in 

State table 24 and in the county miscellaneous table 7. 

Bees and honey-Bee and honey production was enumerated and tabulated in 

the county in which the home farm was 

located (even though hives are often 

moved from farm to farm over a wide 

geographic area for pollination). Several 

factors affect the completeness and accuracy of these data: First, bee and honey 

sales were enumerated separately only for 

farms with sales of $2,500 and over. 

Many bee owners operate on a small 

scale, and their sales are not identified 

separately in the statistics. Second, some 

bee operations may not have been on the 

mailing list. Third, some operators on the 

mailing list may not have considered 

beekeeping to be an agricultural operation, and therefore did not report. 

Total cropland-Total cropland consists 

of land from which crops were harvested 

or hay was cut; land in orchards, citrus 

groves, vineyards, and nursery and greenhouse products; land used only for 

pasture or grazing; land in cover crops, 

legumes, and soil improvement grasses; 

land on which all crops failed; and land in 

cultivated summer fallow. It also includes 

cropland that is idle. This item may be 

overstated for 1974 and 1969 as compared to earlier censuses (see next paragraph). 

Cropland used only for pasture or 

grazing-This category covers rotation 

pasture and grazing land that could have 

been used for crops without additional 

improvements. Land in this category may 

have been overstated in 1974 and 1969 

due to a tendency of farm operators to 

report all pastureland in the first question 

relating to pastureland. Obvious errors 

were corrected during processing. 

Other cropland-This category consists of 

land used for soil improvement crops, 

land on which all crops failed, and land in 

cultivated summer fallow. It also includes 

idle cropland. 

Other Iand-In State tables 1 and 9, county table 1, and county summary table 2, 

other land refers to all land not otherwise 

itemized. It includes pastureland and 

rangeland other than cropland and woodland pasture, and house lots, barn lots, 

ponds, roads, wasteland, etc. In State 

tables 10 and 28, other land refers only 

to house lots, barn lots, ponds, roads, 

wasteland, etc. 

Irrigation-Data on methods of irrigation 

and quantity of water used are shown in 

State table 12 and county table 13. More 

detailed statistical tables on these items, 

as well as more information on irrigated 

crop yields, are included in Volume II of 

the census. 

Commercial fertilizer-The acreage fertilized and tonnage applied are shown 

along with the acreage harvested for most 

major crops and groups of other crops. 

The acreage fertilized may include some 

acreage on which part of a crop failed, 

but if all of a fertilized crop failed, 

fertilizer figures are not inCluded with 

data shown by crop. Instead, fertilized 

acreage on which all crops failed and 

tonnage are included in the totals shown 

for all acreage fertilized and tons applied. 

For most counties and States, the difference in acreage is not significant. 

Other agricultural chemicals-Detailed 

data showing the general purposes for 

which chemicals were applied are published for farms with sales of $2,500 and 

over. Some farm operators reported their 

total acreage treated by sprays, dusts, 

fumigants, etc., but did not allocate 

acreage according to the various purposes 

of the treatment. It was not feasible to 

allocate misreported data properly, so 

these data were added to "Other chemicals." 

To a limited degree, then, detailed data 

for insect, nematode, disease, and weed 

control are incompletely reported and the 

item "Other chemicals" actually includes 

a sizeable amount of expenditures relating to these controls. 

Grain storage capacity-A question on 

grain storage was asked for the first time 

in the 1974 census. No attempt was made 

to supply missing data for this item; 

instead, the number of farms not reporting are shown. 

Artificial ponds, pits, reservoirs, and 

earthen tanks-This information was first 

collected for the 1954 census, but was 

not collected for 1969. In 1974, data 

were collected on the number of ponds, 

pits, reservoirs, and earthen tanks, and 

the area covered by them when filled to 

capacity. 

Futures market-These data were collected to determine if the operator 

utilized the commodity futures market in 

1974 to hedge sales of any farm commodities produced on the place. The data 

probably represent an overstatement of 

the actual number of farm operators 

using the futures market. Apparently, 

respondents were confused between 

futures market transactions and forward 

pricing agreements. Although obvious 

errors were corrected, the data should be 

used with caution. 

A-7 
APPENDIX A Continued 

Contracts-The data published in State 

table 27 are shown essentially as reported, except for inconsistencies that 

were corrected. The published data are 

incompletely reported, partly because 

of the complex and varied nature of 

production and marketing contracts, and 

partly because of a lack of understanding, or more often a lack of knowledge, 

on the part of the respondents, of the 

facts. Some contracts were not reported 

at all, and for some reported contracts 

not all characteristics were given. The 

"Not reported" line in table 27 indicates 

the extent of incompleteness of reporting 

on the contract characteristics. Data on 

the amount received from the contractor 

varied from the full market value for 

some marketing contracts to only 

fractional values for some production 

contracts. More detailed data for individual items produced under contract are 

included in Volume II of the census. 

Payroll and employment-For 1974 more 

data were collected than in previous 

agriculture censuses, to provide a more 

complete accounting and classification 

of hired labor involved in agriculture 

production. Data were collected on the 

number of workers by number of days 

worked, cash wages paid, and amount 

paid to contract workers and salaried 

corporation officers (see section 30 of the 

form for farms with sales of $2,500 and 

over). 

Some respondents who had sizeable 

numbers of seasonal workers during the 

year had difficulty reporting the number 

of workers by days worked, because their 

records were often not kept in such 

detail. County and State totals for the 

number of seasonal workers give a sizeable overcount for the number of hired 

workers actually involved in agriculture 

because many of them worked on more 

than one farm during the year and thus 

may have been counted more than once. 

Therefore, these data should be used with 

some caution. 

Caution is also necessary with the data 

on contract labor. Some farm operators 

may not have distinguished clearly between hired labor and contract laborworkers hired through a labor contractor 

A-8 

or crewleader. This has resulted in a 

possible overstatement of the number of 

farms using contract labor, although the 

dollar amounts involved are generally 

small. 

Likewise, salaries paid to corporate 

officers may include some worktime 

spent on nonfarm activities. 

Injuries and illnesses-Information on 

injuries and illnesses was collected for the 

first time in the 1974 census. Information 

was obtained on the number of injuries 

and illnesses of hired workers, paid members of the operator's family, unpaid 

tam ily members, and operators of farms 

with sales of $2,500 or more. No data are 

shown in this report; however, several 

unpublished tabulations were made and 

copies are available for purchase upon 

request (see section 7. Unpublished 

Data). The unpublished data were tabulated as reported; no attempt was made 

to estimate for possible missing or underreported data. 

Farm credit-The census of agriculture 

has collected varying amounts of data 

relating to credit since 1890. Continuing 

changes in technology and agricultural 

practices have increased the amount of 

money and credit required for efficient 

farm operation. In I ieu of the traditional 

separate finance survey, section 33 was 

added to the report form for farms with 

sales of $2,500 and over to obtain 

information from farm operators on 

debts secured and not secured by real 

estate. The data collected are shown in 

county table 14, county summary table 

31, and State tables 28 through 33, and 

in some unpublished tables on the financial characteristics of farm operators. 

Debt secured by real estate relates to 

debt owed by the farm operator and 

secured · by land owned and operated. 

Debt on land owned by the operator but 

rented to others was to be excluded. In 

county summary table 31, a ratio has 

been calculated of the debt secured by 

real estate to the value of owned land 

operated. This is one measure of the 

degree of indebtedness. Data for debts for 

secured by real estate pertain only to 

debt owed by the operator and exclude 

debts owed by landlords, contractors, etc. 

Farm fuel storage capacity-Questions 

were asked for the first time in the 1974 

census on the on-farm storage capacity of 

gasoline, diesel fuel, LP gas, butane, and 

propane used for the farm business. However, a significant number of respondents 

failed to answer these questions or 

answered them incorrectly; for instance, 

many operators reported the total gallons 

purchased during the year instead of 

the fuel storage capacity. Such obvious 

errors were deleted, but since acceptable 

data were not obtained for substantial 

number of farms, none is shown in this 

report. Several tabulations were made, 

however, and unpublished data are 

available for purchase upon request (see 

section 7. Unpublished Data). 

Income and expenses from farm-related 

sources-An expanded series of questions 

on farm-related income and expenses 

were asked of all farms in the 1974 

census to obtain a more complete picture 

of the total income of farm operators 

from all sources. These sources include 

income and expenses associated with 

customwork and other agricultural services provided for farmers and others, 

recreational services, participation in 

government programs, renting out land, 

ar)d other activity conducted on the farm 

or closely related to the farm. As a 

general rule, these other income sources 

are included if they are closely related, 

even though supplemental, to the farm 

operation. However, if they constitute a 

separate establishment or were conducted 

from another location, they are not included. For example, if a farm operator 

owned a company which furnished custom services to other farms, and that 

company and its income were reported in 

the 1974 Survey of Agricultural Services 

as a separate establishment, the income is 

not included in the data for this category. 

Also not included are reported sales of 

capital assets such as land, buildings, and 

machinery. Examples of income from 

other farm-related sources that are included are: payments from farm insurance damages, gas tax refunds, patronage 

dividends, expenditure rebates, farm 
APPENDIX A Continued 

machine and building rentals, and farm 

by-products sales. 

Besides those expenses associated with 

customwork, recreational services, government proArams, renting of farmland, 

etc., expenses include operating expenses, 

depreciation, taxes, interest, insurance, 

etc. However, the data shown for this 

item do not represent the total expenditures associ a ted with farm-related 

income. The respondent was requested, if 

separate records were available, to report 

farm-related income expenses separately 

from farm production expenses. If the 

respondent did not report farm-related 

expenses separately, those expenses are 

assumed to be included in farm production expenses. 

Differences in totals for some items-The 

total given in one table for an item may 

differ slightly from the total given in 

another table for the same item because 

of the rounding of fractions or the 

rounding to thousands. 

6. Farm Classifications 

State table 9 presents detailed data for all 

farms classified by selected value of sales 

groups; State tables 28 to 33 present 

detailed data for farms with sales of 

$2,500 and over classified by specified 

characteristics-tenure of operator, type 

of organization, age and principal occupation of operator, size of farm (in acres), 

value of agricultural products sold, and 

standard industrial classification. In addition, this report contains a number of 

farm counts according to various characteristics, as well as frequency distributions of farms classified by value of sales 

of each of the principal farm enterprises. 

Farms by tenure of operator-The classifications of tenure as used for both the 

1974 and 1969 censuses are: 

a. Full owners, who operate only land 

they own; 

b. Part owners, who operate land they 

own and also land they rent from 

others; and 

c. Tenants, who operate only land 

they rent from others or work on 

shares for others. 

Detailed data by tenure of operator 

and type of organization are shown in 

State table 28. For the 1964 census and 

earlier censuses, a separate classification 

was used for hired managers, in addition 

to full owners, part owners, and tenants. 

The manager classification was discontinued because managed farms became 

increasingly difficult to define and 

identify, especially with the mail enumeration. Farms which may be operated 

by hired managers for 1969 and 1974 

are distributed among full owners, part 

owners, and tenants according to the 

reported ownership of the land in the 

place. 

Farms by age of operator-Age of the 

farm operator was obtained for all farms 

with sales under $2,500 and only for 

individual, family, or partnership operated farms having sales of $2,500 and 

over. Characteristics of farms by two 

age-of-operator groups in combination 

with occupation information are shown 

in State table 9 for farms with sales of 

under $2,500 and by six age groups in 

State table 29 for farms with sales of 

$2,500 and over. 

Racial and ethnic groups-These data 

were collected and tabulated for all farm 

operators with sales under $2,500 and for 

those operators with sales of $2,500 and 

over if they operated the farm as an 

individual or family or partnership. Each 

operator, except those in Hawaii, was 

asked to classify himself or herself into 

one of six racial or ethnic groups. For 

Hawaii, nine categories were provided. 

For 1974, data are shown for "Blacks 

and other races"; "other races" includes 

American Indians, Hawaiians, Japanese, 

Chinese, Filipinos, Koreans, and any 

other separate racial group. The comparable data for 1969 are for Blackoperated farms only. The farm operators 

reporting themselves to be of Spanish 

origin were included with the White race 

wherever separate data for "White" were 

shown. Counts of farm operators for each 

of the enumerated racial or ethnic groups 

are shown in county miscellaneous data 

table 14 for counties with three or more 

operators in any of the groups. 

Farms by type of organization-This was 

the second census of agriculture for 

which farms were classified by type of 

organization; the first time was for the 

1969 census. The respondent classified 

his own organizational status by marking 

a box opposite the type of organization 

which best described the way the place 

was operated in 1974. The classifications 

were: 

a. Individual or family operation (sole 

proprietorship), excluding partnership and corporation. 

b. Partnership operation, including 

family partnership. 

c. Corporation, including family 

corporation. 

d. Other, such as cooperative, estate or 

trust, prison farm, grazing association, Indian reservation, etc. 

The farms were classified according to 

the information provided in section 37 of 

the regular form. Many of the reports 

which showed "other" as the type of 

organization came from institutional 

farms, Indian reservations, or other 

operations classified as "abnormal." 

Abnormal farms were not included in the 

tabulations for farms with sales of $2,500 

and over. 

Some caution should be taken when 

comparing 1974 data for corporations 

with 1969 data. A followup study of the 

1969 data indicated that a sizable number 

of farms were wrongly reported as corporate, especially in the Southern States. 

These errors in the 1969 data have not 

been corrected and are shown as originally published. 

More detailed data obtained from a 

special survey of farms operated by 

corporations are included in Volume IV, 

Special Reports, of the 1974 Census of 

Agriculture. 

Farms by value of sales-In earlier agricutural censuses, data were classified in 

nine groups referred to as "economic 

classes." The use of this term was discontinued for 1974; however, for farms with 

sales of $2,500 or more in 1974, the 

value-of-products sold classifications are 

the same as the value ranges used for 

establishing economic classes 1 through 5 

A-9 
APPENDIX A Continued 

in prior censuses and are therefore comparable. Some caution should be used in 

comparing value-of-sales data for 1974 

with those of earlier censuses due to the 

substantial increase in prices received by 

farmers between the census periods. 

Data for farms with sales of less than 

$2,500, classified in earlier censuses as 

economic classes 6, part time, and part 

retirement, are not directly comparable 

to the 1974 value classes because of the 

change in farm definition and modifications in farm classification. For 1969, 

farms with sales of under $2,500 were 

classified as: 

a. Class 6-$50 to $2,499 of farm 

product sales and a farm operator 

who is under 65 years of age and did 

not work off the farm 100 days or 

more in the census year. 

b. Part time-$50 to $2,499 of farm 

product sales and a farm operator 

who is under 65 years of age and 

worked off the farm 100 days or 

more in the census year. 

c. Part retirement-$50 to $2,499 of 

farm product sales and a farm 

operator who is 65 years or over. 

If 1974 data shown in State table 9 

and appendix B are combined, limited 

comparisons between 1969 and 1974 

can be made as follows: 

Compare 1969 class 6 farms with 1974 

farms with sales of less than $2,500 

whose operators were under 65 years old 

and devoting 50 percent or more of their 

worktime to farming. Compare 1969 

part-time farms with 1974 farms with 

sales of less than $2,500 whose operators 

were under 65 years old and devoting 

less than 50 percent of their worktime to 

farming. Compare 1969 part-retirement 

farms with 1974 farms with sales of less 

than $2,500 whose operators were 65 

years old and over regardless of occupation. 

Abnormal farms- This category includes 

institutional farms, experimental and 

research farms, and Indian reservations. 

Institutional farms include those operated 

by hospitals, penitentiaries, schools, grazing associations, government agencies, 

etc. Data for abnormal farms were inA-10 

eluded in totals for all farms, but were 

excluded from data for farms with sales 

of $2,500 or more. Characteristics of 

abnormal farms are shown in State table 

9. The abnormal farms are comparable to 

abnormal farms of earlier censuses. 

New classification of farms-A new classification series was used to present the 

data for the 197 4 census. It was developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in cooperation with the Bureau of 

the Census to better describe today's 

agriculture and its complex relationships 

with other sectors of the economy. The 

major classifications are: 

a. Primary farm-A farm operated by 

an individual or family or partnership where the operator spends 50 

percent or more of his worktime on 

the farm (considers farming to be 

the principal occupation) or a farm 

operated under a corporate structure which received 50 percent or 

more if its gross business (farm and 

nonfarm) from the sale of agricultural products. 

b. Part-time farm-A farm operated by 

an individual or partnership where 

the operator spends less than 50 

percent of his worktime on the farm 

(does not consider farming to be the 

principal occupation). 

c. Business-associated farm-A farm 

operated under a corporated structure which received less than 50 

percent of its gross business income 

(farm and nonfarm) from the sale of 

agricultural products. 

d. Abnormal farm-An institutional, 

experimental, or research farm, 

or an Indian reservation. An 

institutional farm is one operated 

by a hospital, penitentiary, school, 

grazing association, government 

agency, etc. 

Some new classifications are not yet 

available. Data necessary to classify corporations as primary or business-associated 

are being collected in a separate survey. It 

will be published, along with data for 

individuals and partnerships, in a later 

report. However, the classifications for 

individual or family operated farms, for 

partnerships, and for abnormal farms are 

described in the following discussion of 

data presented by principal occupation 

of the farm operator. 

Farms by principal occupation-In; ormation was obtained on the occupation 

of the farm operator in 1974 to provide 

the basis for the new farm classification. 

Data on occupation were not obtained in 

1969. The principal occupation classification for farms with sales of $2,500 and 

over relates only to farms operated by 

individuals or families (sole proprietorships) and partnerships. Farm characteristics are shown by age of the operator 

and occupation for farms with sales of 

under $2,500 in State table 9 and for 

farms with sales of $2,500 and over in 

State table 29. 

The classifications used for 1974 were: 

a. Farming-The principal occupation 

of the operator if he spent 50 

percent or more of his worktime in 

1974 in farming. 

b. Other-The principal occupation of 

the operator if he spent 50 percent 

or more of his work time in 1974 at 

occupations other than farming. 

Some operators engaged in ranching 

marked "other" as their principal 

occupation. Most such obvious 

errors were corrected during the 

processing operation. 

Farms operated by persons who consider themselves farmers by occupation 

would be classified as primary farms 

under the new classification. Likewise, 

those farms operated by persons who 

consider themselves as having occupations 

other than farming would be classified as 

part-time farms. 

Farms by size-All farms were classified 

by size according to the total land area 

established for each farm (acres in this 

place). Detailed characteristics of farms 

with sales of $2,500 and over by 12 

size-of-farm groups are presented in State 

table 30. The same classification was used 

for all States. By definition, a farm was 

an operating unit, not an ownership tract. 

In the case of a landlord who had 

assigned land to tenants, the land assigned 
APPENDIX A Continued 

to each tenant was considered a separate 

farm even though the landlord may have 

considered the entire landholding as one 

unit in respect to supervision, equipment, 

rotation practice, purchase of supplies, or 

sale of products. 

Farms by type-Data from the 1974 

census are being published in accordance 

with the expanded classification system 

for agricultural production published in 

the 1972 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual. In 

general, the SIC classifications published 

for 1974 are comparable to the historical 

type-of-farm classifications except that 

the expanded SIC provides the potential 

for a more detailed classification. 

Farms by standard industrial classification-A standard classification for agricu I tu r a I production establishments 

(farms, ranches, nurseries, greenhouses, 

etc.) has been evolving over the entire 

lifetime of the SIC system, but at a less 

rapid rate than in other producing sectors 

of the economy, primarily because of the 

diversity of production typical of most 

farms. In recent years, increasing specialization by agricultural producers has 

encouraged the creation of a more detailed set of classifications. These classifications, found in the 1972 SIC Manual, 

are intended to promote uniformity and 

comparability in the presentation of 

statistical data collected by various 

agencies. 

An establishment primarily engaged in 

crop production (major group 01) or 

livestock production (major group 02) is 

classified in the 3- or 4-digit industry 

group which accounts for 50 percent or 

more of the total value of sales of its 

agricultural production. If the total value 

of sales of agricultural products of an 

establishment was less than 50 percent 

from a single 4-digit industry, but 50 

percent or more from the products of 

two or more 4-digit industries within the 

same 3-digit industry group, the establishment is classified in the miscellaneous 

industry of that industry group; otherwise, it is classified as a genPral crop farm 

in industry 0191 or a general livestock 

farm in industry 0291. 

Detailed characteristics of farms with 

sales of $2,500 or more for selected SIC 

groupings are shown in State tables 32 

and 33 and county summary table 6. 

Additional and more complete 1974 data 

for various SIC classifications will be 

shown in Volume II. 

Farms not classified by SIC-Some farms 

included in the 1974 Census of Agriculture did not meet the official specifications of the standard industrial classification for agricultural activities. Sales of 

forest products, which by historical census definition are included in the total 

value of farm products sold, are excluded 

by the Sl C classification system. Therefore, farms having more than one-half of 

their sales from forest products are excluded from SIC classification. In addition, those farms having a significant proportion (but less than half) of their sales 

from forest products and not meeting the 

definition of one of the two categories of 

general farms are also excluded from SIC 

classification. 

7. Unpublished Data 

Data collected and tabulated primarily to 

meet the needs of specific governmental 

users have been assembled in a series of 

unpublished tables. The table headings 

and stubs of most of these tables have 

more frequent data intervals and size 

groupings than those published in Volume I. In some cases, the tables display 

the data in a format specified by certain 

data users. Most tables provide State 

level statistics. 

The principal unpublished tabulations 

available are on: 

Farm contracts. 

Fuel storage capacity. 

Grain storage capacity. 

Grazing permits. 

Hired workers. 

Injuries and ill nPsses. 

Irrigated and nonirrigated crop yields. 

Land use by size of farm. 

Selected farm characteristics byStandard industrial classification 

Debt status. 

Race or origin. 

Age of farm operator. 

Days worked off-farm by the 

operator. 

Utilization of futures market. 

In addition some data were tabulated 

extending frequency distributions for 

already published items. These tabulations are in the same format as State 

tables 28 through 33. 

For information on the content and 

cost of the unpublished tabulations, 

please write to the Chief, Agriculture 

Division, Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C. 20233. 

8. Nonsampling Errors 

Every census or survey has some errors. 

These can arise from such sources as 

incorrect or incomplete reporting, processing errors, and the inability to obtain 

a response from all farmers. Limited 

sampling was done in this census, and 

most of the error is of the nonsampling 

type. 

Reported data may be incorrect due 

to misunderstanding cf questions or the 

use of estimates in reporting. During 

processing, adjustments are made to 

data items which appear to be inconsistent with other items. 

Respondents may fail to provide 

all of the information requested. In 

some cases, the respondent may indicate 

the presence of an item but not the 

amount. Imputations were made for 

missing data on the quantities and sales 

values of crops and livestock, but no 

imputations were made for such items 

as forest products sold, injuries and 

illnesses, and farm credit. 

An adjustment was made for operations on the mailing list which did not 

respond to the census. This adjustment 

employed sam piing, and variation from 

the adjustment is measured in sampling 

errors; however, any systematic bias is 

not measured. The methodology for 

this adjustment is described in section 

10. Statistical Adjustments. 

There was considerable undercoverage 

of smaller farms because a large number 

of these places were not represented in 

A-11 
APPENDIX A Continued 

any of the administrative records of 

places associated with agricultural operations and, consequently, were not on 

the final mailing list. On the other hand, 

some names were on the mailing list more 

than once. Duplication was eliminated in 

the processing to a large extent, but some 

remains, particularly for farms whose 

operation changed hands, in whole or in 

part, while the list was being developed. 

Measures of final undercoverage are 

provided in section 9. Census Coverage. 

9. Census Coverage 

Although a complete and fully accurate 

count of farms, farmland, and farm production is the aim of each nationwide 

census of agriculture, the complex structure of America's agriculture makes this 

aim difficult to achieve. Among the complexities are the many places to be enumerated, the variety of arrangements under 

which farms are operated, the continuing 

changes in the relationship of farm operators to the land operated, the expiration 

of leases and the initiation or renewal of 

leases, the problem of obtaining a complete I isting of all agricultural operators, 

the difficulty of locating and identifying 

some farms, the operator's absence from 

his farm during mail effort and followup 

procedures, and the operator's opinion 

that some or all of his agricultural operations should not be included in the 

census. 

An evaluation of the coverage has been 

conducted for each census of agriculture 

since 1945. Although its primary purpose 

is to pinpoint problem areas and supply 

evidence upon which to base improvements, the coverage check also provides 

users of census data with estimates of the 

completeness of census counts. Preliminary ·results of a coverage check for 

this State indicate that about 89 percent of all farms are included in the 

census. The farms included are estimated 

to account for more than 97 percent 

of the total value of sales of agricultural 

products in 1974. 

More detailed information, reporting 

coverage by size and type of farm and by 

A-12 

geographic area, are included in a separate report of the 1974 Census of Agriculture. 

10. Statistical Adjustments 

Report forms were obtained and tabulated for all the identified larger farms (in 

general, those with expected sales of 

$40,000 and over). In the few instances 

where the operator did not supply the 

required information, data were obtained 

from secondary sources. By means of 

detailed, programed edit specifications, 

adjustments or corrections were made 

during the computer-edit operation for 

internally incomplete or inconsistent 

data. The review procedures provided for 

computer printouts of edit changes to an 

item that exceeded specified limits. 

These changes were then reviewed for 

reasonableness by members of the processing staff and necessary corrections 

made. 

Nonresponse 

The statistics for each State and county 

were adjusted to account for smaller 

operations which did not respond in the 

census. The number of farms for which 

adjustment was made was estimated on 

the basis of the results of a canvass of 

a random sample of mailing register 

addressees who did not respond during 

the regular census followup period. The 

figures supplied by a stratified sample of 

addressees who did respond were then expanded to represent the nonrespondents 

and included in the census totals. 

Table A shows for selected items for 

the State the percent of the published 

total that the nonresponse adjustment 

represents. These percentages indicate the 

potential for bias in published figures due 

to nonresponse, i.e., the extent to which 

the actual data for nonrespondents may 

not agree with the nonresponse adjustments. The probable range of difference 

is unknown. However, the degree of uncertainty regarding the accuracy of the 

data increases as the percentage of the 

total represented by the nonrespondent 

adjustment increases.

During the construction of the mailing 

list for the census, names obtained from 

various sources were matched to eliminate duplicates. Names that only appeared on the list provided by the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation 

Service were randomly sampled at a rate 

varying by State from 100% to 10%, and 

only those drawn in the sample were 

asked to complete census reports. The 

census reports obtained were expanded 

to estimate the totals for all the farms on 

the "ASCS only" list. The farms in the 

sample generally were small in size, but 

they occasionally included some larger 

farms. The States sampled at a 1 00% rate 

(all ASCS only names included in the 

mailfng register) were Alaska, Delaware, 

Hawaii, Nevada, New Jersey, and West 

Virginia. 

Reliability of Adjustments for Nonresponse and Sampling 

Table B shows estimates of reliability of 

the published totals for selected data 

items for the State. These estimates include the variability from sampling the 

"ASCS only" list and the variability from 

using the random selection of respondent 

farms weighted by expansion factors to 

represent nonrespondent farms. For 

computing the estimates of variability 

due to weighting for nonresponse, the 

farms selected for weighting were considered to be a random sample of all farms 

in the stratum from which they were 

selected. The variances from the two 
APPENDIX A Continued 

sources-the ASCS only usa and the 

nonresponse adjustment-were combined 

In the usual manner to provide the 

estimates of reliability. 

There 11 approximately 87% confl· 

dence that the difference between the 

published estimate and the figure that 

would have been obtained If there were 

no variability Involved Is not more than 

the percentage presented In the table for 

a specific item. There Is approximately 

96% confidence that the difference Is 

less than twice the percentage given. 

As calculated for this report, the 

standard error measures the effect of 

certain nonsampling errors, but does not 

measure any systematic biases In the data 

arising from Incorrect reporting by re· 

spondents or adjustments for nonre· 

sponse, or Incompleteness of the mailing 

list.

report should cover only the operations on the net acreage as reported in item 4. 

• Sections 5-16- Crops 

Do not include in your report any crops on land wh1ch you rented

An example of how to report crops harvested.- A farmer 

planted 100 acres of field corn. He harvested 80 acres. gett•ng 

7.000 bushels of shelled corn. He 1rngated 20 acres and cut them 

for silage: he estimated the production at 400 tons He turned his 

cattle into the 100 acres after the harvest and let them graze. All 

100 acres were fertilized using 17-3/4 tons of dry fertilizer. H 1s 

entries on the Census report are shown in the follow1ng Illustration

of the fteld used for that crop 

II> Section 12- Vegetables 

Acres are to be reported for fresh market and/or for processing If a 

vegetable crop was harvested for both purposes, prorate the acreage on the basis of the production for each use. For example, 2 tons 

of tomatoes were picked for fresh market from a 5-acre field. later 

the same 5 acres were picked and the 8 tons of tomatoes harvested 

went for processtng. Since 2/10 of the production was for fresh 

market and 8/10 for processtng. report 1 acre (2/1 0 X 5) for fresh 

market and 4 acres (8/1 0 X 5) for processing. It you don't know 

what use was made of the vegetables, report them under the purpose for which you th1nk they were used

for the first item which fits. (For example, 10 acres harvested for 

wheat for grain and subsequently pastured - report the 10 acres 

only in item 2a. Cropland harvested.) 

11> Section 19-Irrigation 

Report the estimated quantity of water used in the unit of measure 

most convenient for you. 

Acre-feet - Many irrigation districts show amount ot water delivered to their users in acre-feet on their bills. If you do not know 

the acre-teet of water used but have an est1mate of average acrefeet used per acre, obtain the total acre-feet by multiplying the 

average times the number of acres irrigated. 

Gallons - Irrigators pumping from their own wells may estimate 

total gallons used by multiplying the pumping capacity for the 

pump times minutes in the hour (60). times hours pumped per 

day. times days pumped per season during 1974. For example, 

a 1 00 gal./ minute pump was pumped an average of 20 hours 

per day for a season of 96 days. One hundred gal./minute times 

60 mmutes. times 20 hours pumped per day. times 96-day season 

= 11.520.000 gallons 

Total inches - When a sprinkler system is used, it may be simpler 

to estimate the total depth in inches of all water applied during 

the season.
