Many small farms provide part
time employment for families in
partial retirement or with nonfarm
employment.
Although the number of small
farms has declined, the importance
of nonfarm employment of farm
families has been rising.
Nonfarm income has exceeded
farm income for farm families id
recent years.
Even though the number of
small farms has declined, they will
continue to exist along with the
larger farms.
The historic trends in farm
numbers and average farm size will
probably continue in the future.
Farms have adjusted to a wide
range of labor-saving technologies.
The internal-combustion engine
is probably the most important of
these because it made possible the
development of the automobile
and the tractor. The tractor made
possible the substitution of
mechanical power for draft
animals and a great deal of human
muscle power.
The car allowed farm families to
work in nonfarm jobs while main
taining the farming operation.
