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. Kenneth R. 

Norell, Assistant Chief for, Special Surveys, 

participated in overall planning and supervised 

the preparation of instructions for office 

processing and training materials, the development of enumeration procedures, and the technical review of the statistics prior to publica· 

tion. Hector Vila, Chief, Outlying Areas 

Statistical Branch, made significant contributions in the overall planning, the preparation of 

instructions and training materials for the enumeration, and the handling of technical problems associated with office processing. Coordi· 

nation of the various processing operations and 

compilation of this report was carried out 

under the direction of William Perry. 

Data keying operations were performed in the 

Key Entry Section, Data Management Branch, 

Computer Services Division, under the direction 

of C. Thomas DiNenna. Anoia Nightengale and 

Ruth Simmons made significant contributions 

in supervision and Entrex programing. Systems 

Software Division. under the direction of 

Claggett Jones, was largely responsible for 

processing and tabulating the data using the 

COBOL Census Tabulation System (COCENTS). Melroy Ouasney and Charles King 

made a significant contribution by teaching a 

class on CO CENTS to the group of Agriculture 

Division employees who prepared the computer 

programs by which the data were tabulated. 

The census data were collected at the direction 

of the Governor of the Virgin Islands, the 

Honorable Cyril E. King. The actual data were 

collected by census enumerators under the 

supervision of Henry Carter and John W. 

Westfall. 

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.

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, and the Virgin Islands. Section 

191 also provides that the census data for 

the Virgin Islands may be collected by 

the governor, or highest ranking Federal 

official, in accordance with plans prescribed or approved by the Secretary of 

the U.S. Department of Commerce. 

The 1974 Census is the eighth census 

of agriculture of the Virgin Islands. The 

first, taken in 1917, was a special census 

authorized by the Secretary of Commerce. The next was taken in 1930 in 

conjunction with the population census, a 

practice that continued every 1 0 years 

through 1960. The 1964 Census of Agriculture was the first quinquennial (5-

year) census to be taken in the Virgin 

Islands. For the quinquennial census 

in 1969, the data for the Virgin Islands 

were collected in 1970 in conjunction 

with the 1970 Census of Population. The 

1974 census was the third quinquennial 

census to be taken in the Virgin Islands. 

Questionnaire 

The questionnaire for the 1974 Census of 

Agriculture was prepared by the staff of 

the Census Bureau with the cooperation 

of the Department of Agriculture of the 

Virgin Islands. It contained 89 inquiries, 

many with several parts. The inquiries 

were based on current requirements for 

agricultural information and, to some 

extent, on the desire for comparability 

with earlier censuses. 

In most respects, the questionnaire for 

1974 was closely comparable with the 

one for 1969. Among the changes were 

the following: 

1 . Dropping the inquiry on farm 

mortgage debt. 

2. Adding inquiries on the distance of 

farms from a hard-surface road, the 

financing sources for farm operations, and the number of, and days 

worked by, paid and unpaid farm 

labor. 

3. Adding an additional ownership 

category for workpower. 

Definitions and explanations for selected items are given in appendix A. A 

facsimile of the 1974 questionnaire is 

shown in appendix B. 

Training Program 

for Enumerators 

The supervisors, assistant supervisors, and 

enumerators employed for the census in 

the Virgin Islands received special training 

for this job, which was prepared by the 

Census Bureau. The training included 

practice in interviewing and filling out 

questionnaires, and detailed discussion of 

the enumerators' instructions. 

Enumeration 

The statistics in this report represent 

totals obtained by tabulating information 

collected from farm operators from the 

middle of August to the end of September 1975. For the enumeration, the 

Virgin Islands were divided into five 

Enumeration Districts (ED's) clearly out· 

lined on special maps prepared for the 

census. 

Each enumerator was assigned a specific 

area to enumerate. The enumerators were 

given a map of their area and a list of the 

persons from whom a questionnaire had 

been obtained in the 1969 Census of 

Agriculture as well as other persons 

known to be conducting farm operations 

from other sources. The enumerators were 

required to visit all the persons on their 

lists. 

To obtain as complete an enumeration 

as possible, enumerators were required to 

plot on their map the location of each 

occupied dwelling or place in their ED. 

They were also given lists of special and 

large farms located in their area and were 

required to fill out a questionnaire for 

each one or explain why one was not 

necessary. 

Enumerators were also instructed to 

ask enough questions about tracts of land 

on which no one lived to determine 

whether agricultural data should be collected from the person in charge of the 

land. This procedure was designed to 

assure the enumeration of all land used 

for agriculture, whether by an individual 

a partnership, a corporation, or an institu: 

tion. 

To avoid enumeration of the same 

place more than once, the Census Bureau 

established rules whereby enumerators 

could determine who was responsible for 

completing a questionnaire for a given 

place. If a place was entirely within the 

boundaries of an ED, the enumerator 

assigned to it completed the questionnaire, regardless of where the person in 

charge of the operation lived. If a place 

was partly in one ED and partly in 

v 
INTRODUCTION Continued 

another, the enumerator for the ED in 

which the person in charge lived was responsible for completing the questionnaire; he reported on all the land that the 

person in charge operated in the Virgin 

Islands, including land outside his ED. 

Farm Definition 

The statistics presented in this report relate to places qualifying as census farms. 

For the 1974 Census of Agriculture in the 

Virgin Islands, a farm was defined as any 

"place" of 3 acres or more on which any 

field crops or vegetables were harvested 

or gathered during the 12-month period 

between July 1, 1974, and June 30, 

1975, or on which there was a combined 

total of 10 or more fruit or nut trees or 

plants, any livestock, or 10 or more poultry at the time of enumeration. Places of 

less than 3 acres were counted as farms if 

their sales of agricultural products between July 1, 1974, and June 30, 1975, 

amounted to at least $100, or if they 

could normally be expected to produce 

agricultural products in sufficient quantity to provide sales amounting to at 

least $100. All places meeting any of the 

criteria specified in the census farm definition were included in the tabulations. 

The word "place" designates all land in 

the Virgin Islands under the control of 

one person or partnership. Control of the 

land may have been through ownership, 

management, lease, rental, or cropping 

arrangement. 

For all previous censuses except the 

one for 1950, the definition of a farm 

VI 

was the same as for 1974. For 1950, all 

places, regardless of size, were counted as 

farms if the total value of agricultural 

products in 1949, except home garden 

products, whether for home use or for 

sales, amounted to $100 or more. Enumerators filled out a questionnaire for 

every place that the operator considered a 

farm, every place of 3 acres or more 

whether or not it was considered a farm, 

and every place of less than 3 acres whose 

agricultural production in 1949 was 

valued at $100 or more. 

Office Processing 

In the Agriculture Division at the Census 

Bureau, each questionnaire was edited 

and coded prior to being sent for data 

keying. Questionnaires for places not 

meeting the census farm definition criteria were voided. The remaining questionnaires were examined for accuracy, consistency, and completeness. Enumerators' 

errors in computations and in units of 

measures, inconsistencies, and misplaced 

entries were corrected. Missing information was derived and entered on incomplete reports on the basis of related 

information on the same questionnaire or 

from questionnaires for nearby farms of 

similar type and size. In certain instances, 

respondents were contacted by mail or 

telephone to complete or clarify certain 

entries on their reports. 

In the coding process, numeric codes 

were assigned and entered on each questionnaire to classify farms by size in 

terms of total area, by tenure and birthplace of the operator, and by the total 

value of agricultural products sold. In 

addition, questionnaires for commercial 

farms were coded to further classify them 

by type of farm. 

After the questionnaires had been 

edited and coded, the data were keyed 

onto magnetic tape. Data records were 

reformatted and tabulated on the computer. 

Subject matter specialists reviewed the 

computer tabulations for reasonableness 

and consistency. Corrections were made 

on the basis of a reexamination of the 

original questionnaires. The historical 

data to be published were then added. 

Tabular Presentation 

The data tables in this report give totals 

for each of the three islands-St. Croix, 

St. John, and St. Thomas-and for the 

Virgin Islands as a whole. Comparative 

information for preceding census years 

are given for those items for which 

information is available.

Virgin Islands 33 
APPENDIX A. General Explanation 

General Information 

The following definitions and explanations relate to those items that are 

considered to be inadequately described 

in the tables. Most of the definitions 

come from the instructions given to 

enumerators. For an exact wording of the 

questions and instructions on the questionnaire, see the facsimile of the 

questionnaire in appendix B. 

For the tables, data for land in farms, 

fruit and nut trees, equipment and facilities, and I ivestock and poultry on hand 

represent the situation existing at the 

time of enumeration of each farm. The 

enumeration date for all previous censuses was April 1 of the census year, 

except for the census of 1964, which was 

taken in November and December of 

1964. Data for acres, production and 

sales of crops, land use, sales of livestock 

and poultry, livestock and poultry 

products, and expenditures relate to the 

year preceding the year of the census, 

except 1964 data, which relate to the 

year 1964, and 1974 data, which relate to 

the 12-month period between July 1, 

1974 and June 30, 1975. 

Farm Operator 

The term "farm operator" 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 hired 

manager, or a tenant, renter, or sharecropper. If he rents land to others or has 

land worked on shares by others, he is 

considered the operator only of the land 

he retains for his own operation. In the 

case of a partnership, only one partner is 

counted as an operator. By definition, the 

number of farm operators is the same as 

the number of farms. 

Farms or Operators Reporting 

Figures for "farms reporting" or "operators reporting" represent the number of 

farms, or operators, for which the specified item was reported. The difference 

between the total number of farms and 

the number of farms reporting a particular item represents the number of farms 

not having that item, provided a correct 

report was received for all farms. 

land 

Land in farms-All data relating to land 

tenure and land in farms refer only to 

land located in the Virgin Islands and 

operated on enumeration day. The land 

to be included in each farm was 

determined from the answers to questions 

3 through 6 in section 2, which relate to 

land tenure (see the facsimile of the 

questionnaire in appendix B). The acres 

reported as owned, rented from others, or 

worked on shares for others were added 

together and then the acres rented to 

others or worked on shares by others 

were subtracted from that sum. The 

results represent "Land in farms." The 

number of acres in a managed farm is the 

difference between the total land 

managed and the managed land rented to 

others or worked on shares by others. 

In the 1950 and later censuses, 

enumerators were instructed to record 

total figures for land owned, land rented 

from others, and land managed for 

others, including any part of the land that 

was rented to others. In censuses prior to 

1950, enumerators were instructed to exelude all land rented to others and to 

record only that portion of the acreage 

owned, rented from others, or managed 

for others that was retained by the farm 

operator. Thus, the figures for the individual tenures of land are not entirely 

comparable except for the 1950 and later 

censuses. However, the land included in 

each farm was determined on essentially 

the same basis for all censuses. 

Although the area designated land in 

farms consists primarily of agricultural 

land-i.e., land used for crops, pasture, or 

grazing-it also includes areas of land not 

actually under cultivation nor used for 

pasture or grazing. For example, woodland and wasteland owned or rented from 

others was included as land in farms unless reports indicated it was being held for 

nonagricultural purposes. 

Land owned-This item includes all land 

that the operator and/or his wife held 

under title, purchase contract, homestead 

law, or as heir or trustee of an undivided 

estate at the time of enumeration. 

Land rented to others-This item includes 

all land that the operator rented or leased 

to others and all land he assigned to 

others on shares or rent free. For the 

most part, the land rented to others 

represents agricultural land, but it also 

includes land rented for residential or 

other purposes. The tenant is considered 

to be the operator of land leased, rented, 

or worked on shares, even though his 

landlord may supervise his operations. 

The landlord is considered to be the 

operator of only that portion of the land 

not assigned to his tenants. 

Land rented from others-This item includes not only land the operator rented 

A-1 
APPENDIX A-Continued 

or leased from others, but also land he 

worked on shares for others or land 

occupied rent free. 

Land managed-This item includes all 

tracts of land managed for one employer 

or more by a person paid a salary or 

wages. A hired manager is the operator of 

the land he manages, since he is responsible for agricultural operations and 

frequently supervises others in performing those operations. If a hired 

manager also had agricultural operations 

of his own, he reported them on the same 

questionnaire on which he reported the 

place he managed. 

Land Use 

Land in farms at the time of enumeration 

has been distributed according to the way 

it was used between July 1,1974, and 

June 30, 1975. The land uses described in 

the following paragraphs are mutually 

exclusive in that each acre of land is 

counted only once even though it may 

have had more than one use during the 

year. Because of the large number of farm 

operators reporting fractions of acres, the 

sum of the various uses of land may be 

off by an acre due to rounding. Thi.s is 

also true for acres of vegetables and field 

and forage crops harvested. 

Harvested cropland-This item refers to 

all land from which any crops were harvested during the 12-month period between July 1, 1974, to June 30, 1975, 

whether for home use or sale. It also 

includes land in field crops that were 

grazed when mature or almost mature 

and land in non bearing fruit or nut trees 

and plants. Land from which two or more 

crops were harvested between July 1, 

1974, and June 30, 1975, was to be 

counted on-ly once. Land from which 

crops were harvested and which was also 

used for other purposes, either before or 

after the crops were harvested, was to be 

reported as cropland harvested without 

regard to the other uses. 

Other cropland-This item includes land 

from which no crops were harvested 

between 'July 1, 1974, and June 30, 

A-2 

1975, but which was occupied by 

growing crops, excepting fruit or nut 

trees, intended for harvest in 1975 or 

later. It also includes land intended for 

harvest between July 1, 1974, and June 

·30, 1975, but not actually harvested 

because of complete crop failure, low 

prices, labor shortage, or other reasons; 

land that had been plowed and could be 

plowed again without first being cleared 

of brush, but that lay idle throughout 

July 1, 1974, to June 30, 1975;and land 

used for soil improvement crops. Other 

cropland also includes land which was 

used only for pasture or grazing and 

which the operator could have used for 

crops without additional clearing or 

irrigating. Enumerators were instructed to 

exclude any land pastured after a crop 

was harvested from it. 

Pasture or grazing land-This item refers 

to all land used for pasture or grazing 

between July 1, 1974, to June 30, 1975, 

except cropland. It includes all woodland 

where livestock pastured or grazed 

between July 1, 1974, to June 30, 1975. 

Woodland not pastured-This item includes all woodland that was not used for 

pasture or grazing between July 1, 1974, 

to June 30, 1975. In the enumerator's 

reference book, "woodland" was defined 

as "all farm wood lots or timber tracts, 

natural or planted; and ... cutover land 

with young growth which has or will have 

value as wood or timber." 

Other land-This item refers to all land 

not included in the other land use classifications, such as house and other building 

lots, lanes, roads, ditches, land area of 

ponds and wasteland. 

Type of Holding 

The purpose of the items under this 

heading was to classify holdings according 

to whether they were producing mainly 

for home consumption or mainly for sale, 

and to classify the holdings whose 

production was mainly for sale by the 

most important types of agricultural 

production. Production figures for home 

consumption are based on the disposition 

of the agricultural output of the holding 

during the census year. Agricultural output refers to the part left after rent has 

been paid to the landlord and/or the part 

left after deduction of the produce used 

on the holding for further agricultural 

production, such as for forage or seed. 

Holding producing mainly for home consumption-This type applies to holdings 

where 50 percent or more of the agricultural output of the holding is consumed by the holder's household. 

Holding producing mainly for sale-This 

type applies to holdings where 50 percent 

or more of the agricultural output of the 

holding is produced for sale. Holdings 

producing mainly for sale were classified 

further according to their most important 

activity. 

Vegetable holding-is one on which 50 

percent or more of the value of sales was 

from the sale of vegetables. 

Fruit and nut holding-is one on which 

50 percent or more of the value of sales 

was from the sale of fruits and nuts. 

Dairy holding-is one on which 50 percent or more of the value of sales was 

from the sale of milk and other dairy 

products. 

Livestock holding-is one on which 50 

percent of the value of sales was from the 

sale of livestock and livestock products, 

except dairy products. 

Poultry holding-is one on which 50 percent or more of the value of sales was 

from the sale of poultry and poultry 

products. 

Nursery holding-is one on which 50 percent or more of the value of sales was 

from the sale of nursery products. 

Mixed holding-is one on which none of 

the above items accounts for 50 percent 

or more of the value of sales. 

Other holding-is one that does not belong to any of the previous groups. 
APPENDIX A-Continued 

Crops Harvested 

The 1974 questionnaire was similar to the 

questionnaires used in previous censuses 

in that it provided for the collection of 

data for specified field crops, vegetables, 

fruits, and nuts harvested on each farm. 

Inquiries were included for the most commonly grown crops in the Virgin Islands. 

Acres-The area for individual crops is 

reported in acres and tenths of acres 

harvested. When two or more crops, or 

two or more plantings of the same crop, 

were harvested from the same land, the 

area was to be reported for each separate 

crop or planting. 

For tree fruits and nuts, the figures for 

acres and for number of trees and plants 

relate to the time of enumeration. The 

acreage related to the total area in both 

bearing and nonbearing fruit trees or 

plants and planted nut trees of all kinds. 

The total acres of fruits and nuts were 

not included in the tabulations when such 

acreage for a farm was less than fivetenths of an acre. Tt-ye questionnaire for 

the 1974 census did nbt include questions 

for acreages of each) kind of fruits and 

nuts. The acreage reported for vegetables 

relates only to the acreage harvested for 

sale. 

Quantity-Data for quantity harvested 

were obtained for field crops and fruits 

and nuts. Total quantities of each crop 

harvested were to be reported, whether 

the crops were for home use or for sale. 

The units of measure in which quantities were to be reported have varied for 

some crops from one census to another. 

The aim has been to permit reporting in 

the units of measure currently in use. In 

this report, the quantities harvested for 

each crop are usually expressed in the 

units of measure given on the 1974 

questionnaire. To provide readily comparable information, data published in 

earlier reports in different units of measure have been converted to the units used 

for the 1974 census. 

Value of Crops Sold 

Data for value of crops sold during 1974 

were obtained for each kind of vegetable, 

total fruits and nuts, total field crops, 

total ornamental plants, and all other 

crops sold. The gross value of quantities 

sold from each farm was to be reported, 

regardless of who did the selling or shared 

the receipts. Crops given to a landlord 

and crops produced on institutional farms 

for use by inmates of the institution were 

to be considered as sold. Comparable data 

for earlier censuses are available only for 

vegetables for sale. 

Livestock and Poultry 

Inventories-Data for livestock and poultry relate to the number on hand at the 

time of enumeration. All livestock and 

poultry were to be enumerated on the 

place where they were at the time of 

enumeration regardless of who owned 

them Livestock on unfenced land were 

to be reported as being on the place 

where the person who had control over 

them had his headquarters. 

Sales-Data for sales of livestock, milk, 

and p o u I try products rei ate to the 

12-month period between July 1, 1974, 

and June 30, 1975. Enumerators were 

instructed to report total quantities and 

gross values regardless of who did the 

selling or shared the receipts. Products 

given by a tenant to his landlord and 

products taken from an institutional farm 

for use by inmates of the institutional 

farm were to be considered as sold. 

Equipment, Facilities, and 

Workpower 

Equipment and facilities- Data obtained 

in the 1974 census for the number of 

motor trucks, tractors, and automobiles 

on farms are comparable with those 

presented for earlier years. Farm operators were asked to report the number of 

each item on their farms at the time of 

enumeration, regardless of ownership. 

Items that were temporarily out of order 

were to be included, but not those that 

were worn out. Motor trucks include 

pickup trucks and truck-trailer combinations, and also jeeps and station wagons if 

they were used primarily as trucks. Tractors include all wheel and tracklaying 

(crawler), garden, and homemade tractors. Automobiles include jeeps and 

station wagons if they were used primarily as passenger cars. 

For the 1974, 1970, 1964, and 1960 

censuses, data were obtained on presence 

or absence of electricity, piped running 

water, and telephones. These facilities 

were considered to be on the farm if they 

were available anywhere on the place, 

whether or not they were in the operator's dwelling. "Piped running water" was 

defined as "water carried in pipelines by a 

pressure system or by gravity flow from a 

natural or artificial source." 

Farm wells included all pits or holes 

made by excavation to reach a supply of 

water for irrigation, watering livestock, 

and other purposes. Farm ponds are not 

included. 

Workpower-Workpower refers to those 

sources used for agricultural activities on 

the place between July 1, 1974, and June 

30, 1975, whether or not the animal or 

mechanical power used belonged to the 

operator. 

Farm Expenditures and Debt 

The 1974 questionnaire contained questions on six items of farm expenditures 

between July 1, 1974, and June 30, 

1975, whether made by the farm operator, his landlord, or both. A farm operator who rented part of his land to others 

reported only the expenditures on the 

land he operated himself. 

Machine hire and customwork-Expenditures for machine hire and customwork relate to such items as tractor hire, 

plowing, spraying, and hauling. Any 

amount spent for the labor involved is 

considered to be part of the expenditure. 

The costs of hauling or trucking or of exchange work without pay are omitted. 

Hired labor-Expenditures for hired labor 

include total cash payments made between July 1, 1974, and June 30, 1975, 

to family members and others for farm 

labor. Payments to persons supplied by a 

contractor or a cooperative organization 

and paid directly by them or by the crew 

leader are also included. Payments for the 

A-3 
APPENDIX A-Continued 

following types of work are excluded: 

Housework, contract construction work, 

customwork, and repair and installation 

work performed by persons specifically 

employed for the work. 

Feed-Expenditures for feed for livestock 

and poultry include total cash payments 

made between July 1, 1974, to June 30, 

1975, for pasture, salt, condiments, 

mineral supplements, grain, hay, millfeeds, and any other items purchased for 

feeding livestock and poultry on the 

place. Expenditures made for the grinding 

and mixing of feed and the estimated cost 

of items furnished to the operator by a 

landlord or others are also included. Payments made by a tenant to his landlord 

for feed grown on the tenant's farm are 

excluded. 

Insecticides, fungicides, and herbicidesThis item relates to total cash expenditures between July 1,1974, and June 30, 

1975, for all chemicals, sprays, dusts, 

etc., used to control weeds, insects, or 

diseases on crops and livestock. Any of 

these materials paid for by a landlord and 

by custom operators is included. 

Fertilizer and manure-Expenditures include the total amount spent between 

July 1, 1974, to June 30, 1975, for 

manure and commercial fertilizers of all 

kinds for use on the farm. 

Livestock and poultry purchases-This 

item includes all cash expenditures for 

livestock and poultry purchased between 

July 1, 1974, to June 30, 1975, for the 

place. The cost of livestock and poultry 

bought and then resold within 30 days is 

not included. 

Farm Oper~tor Characteristics 

Age group-For the 1974 census, farm 

operators were classified by age into six 

groups. The average age was obtained by 

dividing the sum of the ages of all farm 

operators reporting by the number reporting. 

Place of ~irth-ln the 1974, 1970, 1964, 

and 1960 censuses, farm operators were 

A-4 

classified by place of birth according to 

whether they were born in the Virgin 

Islands, Puerto Rico, or elsewhere. The 

purpose of the question on place of birth 

~as to obtain a measure of the native 

language abilities of farm operators as a 

guide to agricultural agents in preparing 

news releases for distribution to farmers. 

Need for information about language 

abilities has arisen since the 1950 census 

as a result of the influx of Puerto Ricans 

into the Virgin Islands. 

Place of residence-Farm operators were 

classified by residence according to 

whether or not they lived on the farms 

they were operating. Some of those 

who did not live on the farms they 

operated lived on farms operated by 

others. Where all the land was rented 

from others or worked on shares for 

others, the operator was considered to 

live on the farm operated provided the 

dwelling he occupied was included in the 

rental agreement. In such cases, the 

dwelling was not necessarily on the land 

being operated. Similarly, a farm operator 

who did not live on the land being cultivated or grazed, but who had some agricultural operations (other than a home 

garden) at his dwelling, was considered to 

be living on the farm operated. 

Main occupation-In 1974 and 1970, 

farm operators were classified according 

to whether their main occupation was 

agricultural or nonagricultural. In 1964, 

they were classified according to their 

principal occupation or kind of job 

at which they worked off the farm. The 

five 1964 classifications were: 

1. Farm laborers 

2. Skilled laborers 

3. Laborers other than farm and 

skilled 

4. Professional workers and government employees 

5. All other occupations 

Years of operating present farm-Enumerators were instructed to report the 

year a farm operator began to operate the 

farm, i.e., the first year the operator 

took continuous charge of his present 

farm or of any part of it. 

Work off farm-The extent to which farm 

operators rely on nonfarm sources for 

part of their income is indicated by the 

number of days worked off the farm 

during the year. Data for the 1974 census 

are comparable with those for the censuses of 1970, 1964, and 1960. The 1974 

census covers the 12 months from July 1, 

1974, to June 30, 1975; the 1964 census 

covers the 12 months from November 1, 

1963, to October 31, 1964; the 1970, 

and 1960 censuses cover the 12 months 

from January 1 to December 31, 1969 

and 1959. Work off the farm was defined 

to include work on someone else's farm 

for pay as well as all types of nonfarm 

jobs, businesses, and professions, whether 

the work was done on the farm premises 

or elsewhere. Exchange work was not 

included. 

Farm Classifications 

Farms by size-Farms were classified by 

size on the basis of the total land area 

established in each one. According to the 

census definition, a farm is essentially an 

operating unit, not an ownership tract. All 

land operated or managed by one person 

or partnership represents one farm. In the 

case of tenants, the land assigned to each 

tenant is considered a separate farm, even 

though the landlord may consider his entire landholding to be one unit rather 

than several separate units. 

Farms by tenure of operator-In the 19",74 

census, farms were classified by tenure of 

operator on the basis of data reported for 

land owned, rented from others, worked 

on shares for others, and managed for 

others. The same classification was used 

in the 1970 and 1964 censuses. During 

the processing operations for the 1974 

census, each questionnaire was coded to 

indicate whether the farm operator was a 

full owner, part owner, manager, or 

tenant. 

Full owners operate only land they own. 

Part owners operate land they own and 

also land they rent from others. 

Managers operate land for others and are 

paid a wage or salary for their services. 
APPENDIX A-Continued 

Caretakers or hired laborers are not classified as managers. If a farm operator 

managed land for others and also 

operated his own farm, both operations 

were considered one farm. If he managed 

land for two or more employers, all the 

managed land was considered one farm. 

Tenants rent from others or work the 

land they operate on shares for others. 

Farms by economic class-The same 

classification of farms by economic class 

was used for the 1974, 1970, and 1964 

censuses. The economic classifications 

represent groupings of farms that are 

similar in characteristics and size of 

operation. The economic class of each 

farm was determined on the basis of total 

value of all farm products sold or on total 

value and number of days the farm 

operator worked off the farm. Institutional farms were always classified as 

"abnormal." 

The total value of farm products sold 

was obtained by adding the reported 

values of all products sold from the farm. 

The value of livestock, milk, poultry and 

eggs, vegetables, fruits and nuts, all field 

crops, 9rnamental plants, and all other 

crops W(jS obtained from the farm operator at the time of enumeration. 

Farms were grouped into two major 

categories, Class 1-7 farms and other 

farms, on the basis of total value of 

products sold. In general, all farms with a 

value of sales amounting to $2,500 or 

more were classified as commercial. 

Farms with a value of sales of $100 to 

$2,499 were classified as commercial only 

if the farm operator did not work off the 

farm 100 days or more during the year. 

The remaining farms with a value of sales 

of less than $2,500 and institutional 

farms were included in one of the groups 

of "other farms." 

Class 1-7 farms were divided on the 

basis of the total value of all farm 

products sold: 

Class 1. $10,000 and over 

Class 2. $7,500 to $9,999 

Class 3. $5,000 to $7,499 

Class 4. $2,500 to $4,999 

Class 5. $1,200 to $2,499 

Class 6. $500 to $1,199 

Class 7. $100 to $499 

For class 5-7 farms, the farm operator 

did not work off the farm 100 days or 

more in 1969 or between July 1, 1974, 

and June 30, 1975. 

All other farms were divided into three 

economic classes: 

Residential-Except for abnormal farms, 

all farms with a value of farm products 

sold of less than $100 were classified as 

"residential," regardless of whether the 

operator worked off the farm between 

July 1, 1974, and June 30, 1975. Subsistence or marginal farms are also included in this class. 

Part-time-Farms with a value of sales of 

farm products of $100 to $2,499 were 

classified as "part-time" if the operator 

worked off the farm 1 00 days or more 

between July 1, 1974, and June 30, 

1975. 

Abnormal-All institutional farms were 

classified as abnormal, regardless of the 

value of farm products sold. Institutional 

farms include those operated by hospitals, schools, agricultural experimental 

stations, government agencies, etc. 

Farms by type-Class 1-7 farms were also 

classified by type for the 1974 census. To 

be classified as a particular type, a farm's 

sales of a particular product or group of 

products must amount to 50 percent or 

more of the total value of all farm products sold. The types of farms and the farm 

products that represented 50 percent or 

more of the total value of all farm products they sold are: 

Ornamental. Ornamental plants or nursery products. 

Vegetable and field crops. Vegetables 

and field crops. 

Fruit and nut. Fruits and nuts and coffee. 

Dairy. Milk. For this type, a farm whose 

value of milk sold was less than 50 percent of the total value of all the farm 

products it sold was classified as a dairy 

farm if (a) the value of milk sold was 30 

percent or more of the total value of 

products sold, and (b) the value of milk 

sold plus the value of cattle and calves 

sold was 50 percent or more of the total 

value of all farm products sold. 

Livestock. Cattle, calves, hogs, pigs, 

sheep, lambs, goats, and kids. 

Poultry. Chickens, chicken eggs, turkeys, 

and other poultry. 

General. Farms whose cash income was 

from three or more sources and any other 

farms not meeting the criteria of the 

above types.
