Farm Population Adjustments Following the End of the War

Abstract

Excerpt from the report: Current reports made during the last 4 months of 1945 on a national sample of 71 counties indicated that a substantial return migration to farms started in many parts of the country after Japan was defeated. The most important and most widespread change in the farm population which took place after the end of the war was the return of demobilized veterans. A fourth to a half of the boys and men who had entered the armed forces from these counties had returned home by Christmas. Former migrants to war industry and other urban employment were also reported to be returning to rural areas in several of the counties studied because of cut-backs and lay-offs in war manufactures. The end of the war also brought an end to many of the nonfarm jobs to which part-time farmers and members of their families had been commuting.
