Farm Folk Represent
12% OF Population

One hundred years ago, farm
people made up an estimated IS
percent of our u. S. population
Today the figure is only II per-
cent
County Agent William HI. Hen
derson states that a recent USDA
report gives some interesting facts
concerning this decline in farm
population. 1t shows, for example,
that much of this change has oc-
Cured in the past rs years.
II In 1858 farm people numbered
about 20 million out of total pop
ulation that was slightly over 80
million. In 1933-just 25 years ago
there were 32.4 million people on
farms, with the total population at
1872 millions. At that time, farm
people made up about &c percent of
the total. The big drop in actual
number of farm folks came in the
20 years between 1888 and 1858,
with an average decline of about
100000 a year
By April 1853 the farm popula-
tion was 22.7 million, only about
A percent of the total population.
A further decline of million
farm people has taken place since
1853. Figures recently released
show an estimate of 2Q4 million
for the farm population on April
l, 1857. In other words, the actual
number of people on farms is now
about where it stood in 1S58-ex-
actly 100 years ago.
Experts say the main reason for
this big decline has been the tech
biological revolution in agriculture.
In 1920 each farm worker produced
enough to take care of Al persons.
By 1856 a farm worker produced
enough for the needs of 20.8 per-
sons.
The major increase in productiv-
ity per farm worker has occurred
since the year 1910. In fact, It very
clearly doubled during the period
1940-56 The total output of farm
products has increased about &c
percent since 1910 while the U. S.
population went up only 27 per-
cent.
