Abstract

An average of 9,472,000 persons lived on farms in the Nation's rural areas during the 12-month period centered on April 1973. Since 1970, the U.S. farm population has remained relatively stable, contrasting with sharp declines of the 1950 's and 1960 's. Between 19 70 and 1973 the absolute average loss of farm people through migration and reclassification of residence from farm to non-farm was 113,000 annually. The rate of this net outmovement was about 1 percent a year.
