Descriptors: men; occupations; structural-change; religion; population-change; off-farm-employment; farming; ohio; wayne-county,-ohio; holmes-county,-ohio Abstract: As a subculture, the Amish sustain a distinctive way of life while maintaining linkages with the larger society. Historically, this has been accomplished within the economic sphere through restriction of livelihood to farming and at-home occupations. This article documents the growing differentiation of the occupational structure of the Amish and their movement to nonfarm occupations. Occupational changes are discussed in terms of their impacts on Amish society.

32. NAL Call No.: 44.8-J822 A demonstration project of interdisciplinary dairy herd extension advising funded by industry and users. 1. Implementation and evaluation. Peters, R. R.; Cassel, E. K.; Varner, M. A.; Eickelberger, R. C.; Vough, L. R.; Manspeaker, J. E.; Stewart, L. E.; Wysong, J. W. J-dairy-sci. v.77(8): p.2438-2449. (1994 Aug.) Includes references. Descriptors: dairy-farming; extension; dairy-herds; profitability; dairy-cooperatives; program-participants; milk- yield; decision-making; innovation- adoption; family-farms; maryland Abstract: An interdisciplinary team of extension workers conducted a 2-yr demonstration project using 30 herds with the objectives of increasing production efficiency and profitability and gaining experience in integrated problem solving. After 1 yr, 88% of the participants thought that the monthly fee paid to extension was a profitable investment. At the end of the project, 70% of the participants thought that increases in milk yield per cow were due to a combination of improvements in two to four management areas rather than to changes in any single management discipline. Additional labor was necessary to implement recommendations. Two issues were key in successfully convincing dairy operators and families to accept management recommendations: 1) a coordinated team effort aimed at integrated problem solving, followed by written recommendations and regular dialogue with the producer, and 2) possession of effective social decision-making skill by the participant family. Most farms in the project depended primarily on family labor and social decision making to implement management changes. Only those families that could jointly agree to implement a new management decision fully benefited from professional advice. A demonstration project of interdisciplinary dairy advising was an effective method to gain problem-solving expertise and to build credibility for extension services.

34. NAL Call No.: HD1401.A47 Differential human capital and structural evolution in agriculture. Rodgers, J. L. Agric-econ. v.11(1): p.1-17. (1994 Sept.) Includes references. Descriptors: human-resources; poverty; farm-numbers; family-farms; rural-urban-migration; mathematical- models; usa; farm-to-non-farm-migration Abstract: The growth of market capitalism and the technological advances of the last two centuries underlie the relentless process of structural change in agriculture. Substantial occupational migration out of farming and geographical migration from rural to urban areas is a characteristic of most, if not all, economies in the 20th century. The process of rural-urban migration, and the resulting urban problems have received considerable attention. The fate of the residual farm population has received less scrutiny and is less well understood. In the United States we observe considerable farm poverty, increasing farm-size inequality, and a disturbing decay of rural communities. For the last half century, the problem of low farm incomes has been perceived as a farm problem amenable to solution by appropriate farm policy. In this paper, a model is proposed which suggests that farm poverty and inequality are inevitable consequences of a rural-urban migration process in which two types of human capital play a fundamental role. General human capital determines a person's expected nonfarm income, while farming-specific human capital determines his/her productivity in farming. It is argued that inadequate human capital combined with positive rural-urban migration cost, positive farm technology adoption costs, and inelastic demand for farm output, can explain persistently high levels of farm poverty, and increasing farm size inequality. The model suggests that traditional farm policies are inappropriate. Programs that directly address the problems of inadequate human capital are advocated. 35.

37. NAL Call No.: 292.8-W295 Effects of irrigation water supply variations on limited resource farming in Conejos County, Colorado. Eckert, J. B.; Wang, E. Water-Resour-Res. v.29(2): p.229-235. (1993 Feb.) Includes references. Descriptors: irrigation-water; water-availability; mixed-farming; crop-enterprises; livestock-enterprises; decision- making; linear-programming; mathematical-models; colorado; multiple-enterprise-farming Abstract: Farms in NE Conejos County, Colorado, are characterized by limited resources, uncertain surface flow irrigation systems, and mixed crop- livestock enterprise combinations which are dependent on public grazing resources. To model decision making on these farms, a linear program is developed stressing enterprise choices under conditions of multiple resource constraints. Differential access to grazing resources and irrigation water is emphasized in this research. Regarding the water resource, the model reflects farms situated alternatively on high-, medium-, and low-priority irrigation ditches within the Alamosa-La Jara river system, each with and without supplemental pumping. Differences are found in optimum enterprise mixes, net returns, choice of cropping technology, level of marketings, and other characteristics in response to variations in the availability of irrigation water. Implications are presented for alternative improvement strategies.

Descriptors: land-diversion; federal-programs; program- participants; small-farms; farm-income; returns; tenants; probabilistic-models; willingness-to-participate; franklin- parish,-louisiana; richland-parish,-louisiana; west-carroll,- louisiana Abstract: The study examines Louisiana small farmers' reasons for not participating in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), their awareness of the program, and their willingness to participate in the program. The results suggest that: farmers do not participate in the CRP if revenues from cropland are an important source of income, or if they are tenants; awareness is significantly related to education, income, race, and average return per acre; willingness is positively influenced by payment per acre, age, and farm status. Participation depends on whether payments per acre are comparable to the opportunity costs of removing cropland from production.
40. NAL Call No.: HD101.S6 Employment history and off-farm employment of farm operators. Stallmann, J. I.; Nelson, J. H. J-agric-appl-econ. v.27(2): p.75-487. (1995 Dec.) Includes references. Descriptors: farmers; workers; farm-families; off-farm- employment; part-time-employment; probability; probabilistic- models; labor-allocation; virginia Abstract: Employment history affects subsequent choices. Based on their original job choice, operators are divided into farmers and workers. Equations are estimated to determine their probabilities of working off-the- farm. Education increases the probability that workers work off the- farm, whereas vocational training increases farmers' probability. The probability of working off-the-farm decreases as unearned income increases, and its impact on workers is larger than on farmers. An employed spouse increases the probability that farmers work off-the-farm, but has the opposite impact for workers. Employment density increases the probability that workers will work off-the-farm.

Rural-sociol. v.60(1): p.23-43. (1995 Spring) Includes references. Descriptors: family-farms; division-of-labor; knowledge; agricultural-development; sustainability; usa Abstract: Issues raised by the feminist epistemic critique of social science are used to examine what is meant by local knowledge and its contribution to analyses of agricultural sustainability. Employing the concepts of partial perspective, lived experience, and the complexity of social context, this paper focuses attention on the juxtaposition of local and scientific knowledge and challenges those interpretations of local knowledge production that ignore the various people, relations, and interests constituting the rural economy. An examination of local as a contested, complex, and heterogeneous domain refines the work of Kloppenburg (1991) and his commitment to the significance of local knowledge in constructing opportunities for sustainable agriculture. Attention to the on- farm gender division of labor helps to identify gender differences as critical in constituting the family farm and to elaborate how the different experiences of women and men may offer alternative visions of what constitutes sustainable agricultural production.

Includes references. Descriptors: sitotroga-cerealella; movement; dispersal; activity; spatial-distribution; temporal-variation; small- farms; maize; grain-stores; bins; zea- mays; fields; stored-products- pests; kentucky Abstract: The purpose of this study was to monitor activity and movement of Angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella (Olivier), in a small-farm ecosystem. Moth activity was determined using sticky traps placed in bin vents of storage bins containing shelled corn and pheromone traps placed in concentric circles across the farm with the bins at the center. Moth activity was concentrated in and around the grain bins from June to August and at corn plots in September and October. Mark- recaputre studies confirmed moth dispersal from the bins to corn plots during July- September. Knowledge of the spatial dynamics of Angoumois grain moth may contribute to pest management programs. 108.

Plastic mulch has been evaluated as an alternative technology on experimental stations in the Southeast but its use has not yet gained wide acceptance among limited resource vegetable producers in the area. In this study, the economic feasibility of plastic mulch was evaluated as a profit enhancing technology for limited resource farmers. A farmer survey and farm simulation model were used in the evaluation of this technology. It was noted in the survey that most of the farmers in the research area were part- time and were above 50 years old. The average age was 60, with a minimum of 29 and maximum of 88. Plastic mulch resulted in increased output and farm revenue. The capital turnover ratio for production with plastic mulch was higher than for production without plastic mulch. Each hour of labor used with plastic mulch generated six times more net revenues than without plastic mulch. The total investment required for plastic mulch more than doubled, indicating that it might be difficult to encourage this age group of farmers to adopt the technology without easy credit arrangements. The diffusion of this technology may be difficult unless the alternative of renting vs. buying the necessary equipment is presented to this age group of farmers.

Descriptors: farm-families; consumption; farm-income; marginal-analysis; non-farm-income; econometric- models; economic- theory; kansas; government-payments Abstract: Farm family disposable income is generated from farm operations, off-farm sources, and government payments. If these three income components are fungible (a dollar from one source is a perfect substitute for a dollar from another source), then the propensities to consume each should be the same. This study examines the farm family propensity to consume from separate income sources. Results indicate that the propensity to consume off-farm income and government payments is higher than the propensity to consume farm income.

(1936 May) Descriptors: grain-crops; small-farms; planters; cutters; threshing-machines; bagging; equipment; drills; straw- trussers; michigan; tiers Abstract: Changes in the size, shape, arrangement, and replication of small plats have necessitated changes in the methods used in the planting, harvesting, and threshing of the grain grown on such plats. Features of five machines now in use on the plant breeding plats at East Lansing and developed under a cooperative project between the sections of Farm Crops and Agricultural Engineering of the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station are discussed in this article with the hope that they may be helpful to other workers. Whenever a change has been made, it has been judged on the basis of (1) maintenance of purity, that is, freedom from mechanical mixture; (2) simplicity of operation; (3) efficient use of man power; (4) simplicity of construction; and (5) increase in speed of operation. The first requirement is the most essential and its importance is recognized by all. The other requirements are making themselves felt more and more as experiments are becoming more extensive and refined and expense is becoming more of a factor in planting, harvesting, and threshing.

(1994 Spring) Includes references. Descriptors: family-farms; hired-labor; family-labor; division-of-labor; crop-production; farm-machinery; off- farm- employment; organization-of-work; north-carolina Abstract: Uncertainties facing farm enterprises place a premium on flexibility and adaptability in the work force. A study of 695 North Carolina farm couples is used to examine the extent to which 12 tasks on a farm are shared among family members and hired workers. Using husband alone as the norm, this pattern is contrasted with husband and son, husband and wife, husband and hired help, and husband and other statuses. Production, support, and household tasks are distinguished. Type of crop and amount of machinery used make a difference to status variation in production tasks' requiring more sharing on the part of the husband, but have less impact on support and household tasks. The latter are affected more by whether the husband or wife works off the farm. Despite status variation, farm work remains highly gendered; if the husband shares production work, it is with his son or a hired worker.

(1996 Summer) Includes references. Descriptors: agricultural-structure; history; trends; patterns; small-farms; commercial-farming; cluster-analysis; agricultural-censuses; usa; farming-firm; agristructure Abstract: Multiple indicators of the structure of agriculture were extracted from the U.S. Census of Agriculture for the years 1982, 1987, and 1992, and used to extend previous work by Wimberley (1987). Exploratory factor analysis results for each year yielded three dimensions of agristructure: corporate-commercial, farming-firm and small-farm. Factor-scores used to estimate scales had high reliabilities (omega coefficients > .9) and strong inter- temporal correlations for each scale across years were observed. The content of each scale was consistent across the three years, suggesting that structural shifts in the elements defining "agristructure" were minimal. Because the 1980s were a turbulent period for U.S. agriculture, the patterns describing heterogeneity among counties in each year were investigated. Cluster analysis of each year's three factor scales produced five homogeneous groups of counties: three, dominated respectively by small-farms, farming-firms, and corporate-farms and two mixed groups, which we interpreted as reflecting transitional situations. Comparisons of these cluster groupings across the three years identified the emergence of counties typified by organizational patterns of firm-oriented and corporate-commercial farming. Moreover, the patterns of temporal movement by U.S. counties across this typology suggest a fundamental change from homogeneous family-centered small-farming concentrations dominant during most of this century. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Descriptors: farm-entrants; demography; agricultural- structure; age; agricultural-prices; regions; off-farm- employment; employment-opportunities; probabilistic-models; usa Abstract: The influence of demographic and economic factors on the number of young farm entrants is investigated. After controlling for the demographic effect, it is found that higher commodity prices, lower real interest rates, and lower land values are associated with greater entry. Regional effects suggest lower entry in states with better nonfarm opportunities. Demographic factors suggest that the shrinking pool of potential entrants will lead to further decline in farm entry. The decline in farm entry has important implications for the future structure of farming in the United States.

About the Quick Bibliography Series
Bibliographies in the Quick Bibliography Series of the National Agricultural Library (NAL), are intended primarily for current awareness, and as the title of the series implies, are not indepth exhaustive bibliographies on any given subject. However, the citations are a substantial resource for recent investigations on a given topic. They also serve the purpose of bringing the literature of agriculture to the interested user who, in many cases, could not access it by any other means. The bibliographies are derived from computerized on-line searches of NAL's AGRICOLA data base. Timeliness of topic and evidence of extensive interest are the selection criteria.
The author/searcher determines the purpose, length, and search strategy of the Quick Bibliography. Information regarding these is available upon request from the author/searcher.
Copies of the bibliography may be made or used for distribution without prior approval. The inclusion or omission of a particular publication or citation may not be construed as endorsement or disapproval.
