FARM POPULATION ESTIMTES

1940

1940 there were 32,245,000 persons living on farms,

according to the estimates of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics.

This

figure is close to the all-tiriie high record of 1915 when the farm popula-

tion consisted of 32,530,000 persons.

The 1940 estimate shows an increase

of 186,000 over last year, and brought the total increase for the last
10 years to 2,076,000.

There has been an increase every year since 1929,

with the exception of 1936

whsS5 ith-erc v/as a

decrease of approximately 80,000,

The increase in farm population during the 1930'

follows a decrease

of 1,445,000 during the 1920s and a net loss of 463,000 between 1910 and

1920.

By 1910 most of the fai-m land of the country had been occupied, and

though there vrere some increases during the early years of the War of
1914-1918, there were rapid decreases after the entry of the United States
into that War, with the resulting mobilization of manpower and large

demands for workers in rapidly exp^anding industries vdiich were no longer

able to secure needed new workers from Europe.

The decreases during the

latter part of that decade vfere so large that there was a net loss for

the entire period.

In the years immc'diately

folloi;\ring

the War, fann

population was rapidly drained off into expanding industrial and other
employment.

By 1927 thero was some slowing down of the migration from

farms to cities,

and after the 1929 crash there was a further reduction

in migration from farms.

I'Jhereas

the net migration during the 1920'

was

approximately 6,000,000 and that for the preceding decade was about the
same, the net migration from farms during the 1950'

persons*

was only 2,3 79,000

Changes in farm population throughout the country vrere by
no means uniform. Some areas vrere affected by severe droughts
which forced readjustments in farming organization and a net reduction in the population. Other areas were affected by rapid
increases in the use of ncclianical power for some farm operations
or the development of improved strains of plants or animals or
improved practices with the result that less manpower was required
per unit of production. And in some areas there vrere important

for persons no longer required in urban industry, providing an
opportunity whereby persons vdth little or no capital might assure
themselves at least of subsistence, or perhaps offering the opportunity of rcduci^-g living costs. In some areas the number of young
people reaching r^Lturity was especially large, but the training
which these ycv_".-'; people had received v.as net. sufficient to enable
them to compete in an overcrov/ded labor market. The result ivas

brought about an increase in fann populationt

may be said that in the areas best adapted

there v.-as enough migration away from farms
a reduction in farm population, but in
adapted to commercial farming there vrere
increases t Among the major geographic divisions, the largest
percentage increases during the last ten years were reported by
the New England and the pacific Coast States, with the Middle
Atlantic, East South Central, South Atlantic, and East North
Central States also shovfing increases. The West Korth Central
States reported a decrease and the increases in the Vvest South
Central and tho Mountain States were very small, only ^- of 1 percent and 2^ percent, respectively.
In general, it
to commercial farming
to have brought about
these areas less well

One result of these different rates of change was to increase the differences in tho number of people living on the farms
of the several m.ajor divisions.
In 1950, the Vi'est ITor th Central
with a farm population of 5,030,000, tho East South Central with
5,052,000, and the Yj'est South Central mth 5,275,000, were all
bunched together. But by 1340, the number of people living on
farms in the East South Central States had increased to 5,624,000,
that of tho West South Central States had increased to only
5,303,000, while that of the H'est North Central States had decreased to 4,840,000. Tho m.aximum. difference among those three
divisions v;as less thr.n 250,000 in 1930, but in 1940 it had become nearly 800,000.

An increase in farm, population at the present time means

culture have kept pace mth those in industry, and the labor requirem.ents for agricultural production have been decreased.
Normal
requirements in farm production for both domestic :;aid foreign outlets can now bo m.et with approximately 1,600,000 fev/er virorkers
on farms than in 1929 - w}iich, with their dependents, means about
3,500,000 fewer persons. TJic estimates of employment on fa.rras
show a decrease of more tlmn 300,000 taetv;-een tiae beginjiing of 1930
and of 1940. Although tho number of persons working on farms who
are not effectively employed or \Ai.o v/ork only a small portion of
the year is not kno-v^n., it is probably quite large for already in
1929 nearly half of the farms produced only about 10 percent of
all the crops that were sold or traded. Unomiployment on farms,
which s eened an anomaly prior to the present period, has increased,
and the fact that the Census of Unem.ploynent in 1937 reported
971,000 males living on farms -/.ho wore totally unemployed or working on emergency projects, and an additional 576,000 who wore classified as only partly em.ployod is directly a result of the reduced
rndgraticn avjay from farm.s.

Differences between 1930-34 and 1935-39 reflect the differences in the level of business conditions during those tr/ro periods.
The total farm population increased by 1,632,000 persons during the
first 5 years, with the largest increase caning in 1932 when it
amomited to more than 700,000. During the second 5-year period,
how ever, the net increase was only 444,000 persons, and nore
than nine-tenths of this total is accounted for by the increases
during 1938 and 1939. Conversely, the net loss by migration frcci
farns vra.s about tvro and one-half tines as large during 1935-40 as
during the preceding 5 years - 1,581,000 as conpared v/ith 598,000.
During each of the 3 years 1937, 1938, and 1939, the net migration
froa farris vfas between 200,000 and 300,000. These losses are much
less than those reported in the 1920's; in no year betvroen 1920
and 1930 ivas the not nigration fron farms as low as 3 00,000 and
in the peak year, 1922, it reached more than 1,000,000.
i\rot only
was the not migration fron farns during the 1930*s less than during
the 1920 's, but the gross movcnont, both that to farms and that
fron farns, was also gna llcr during the latter period. There v/as
loss novcncnt in cither direction during the 5 years, 1935-39,
than during the preceding 5 years, or during 1925-29, or 1920-24.
Apparently diuring a period of urban prosperity, yo-ong people on
farms are nore ready to take a chance and nove, even though they
have no assurance that they will be able to get a job there. Field
studies have shown that after 1930 there was a somewhat greater
tendency on the part of prospective migrants to nove only if there
was some assurance of placonont at the destination, though it is
well known that there is still a large volume of migration to
destinations about which the migrants have little advance information and at which they remain only a short time.
The largest absolute gain during the 10-year period was in
the South Atlantic States, the group consisting of the States
along the Atlantic Coast from Maryland and Delaware to Florida.
The next largest gain was in the East South Central States, including Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabana, and Mississippi, where the
gain during the second 5 years vro.s slightly greater than that during the first 5 years.
The only other division in which the gain
in 1935-39 exceeded that of 1930-34 was that including the three
Pacific Coast States, where the farm population shovired net increases of 69,000 in the first half and 165,000 in the second half
of the decade.
In the Kovf England, the Middle Atlantic, and the
East North Central States, the increases during the first 5-year
period were approximately 4 to 6 times as groat as those during
the second 5 years.
On the other hand, the throe groups of States,
which include the areas most severely affected by the drouglits of
1934 and 1936 - tho West North Central, Y'est South Central, and
the Mountain States, report increases before 1935 and decreases
thereafter. The difference was especially narked in the Vv'est
North Central States, where the increase was 78,000 for the first
5 years, but tho decrease vra.3 268,000 for the second 5 years of
the 1930' s.

- 6 Chanf;es During 1939

The increase of 186,000 in the farm popiilation dui-ing

As in each of
1939, follows an increase of 240,000 in 1938.
the 6 preceding years, more persons moved from farms to villages, tomis, and cities than moved to faiTts during 1939, According to these estimates, 1,063,000 persons moved from farms
to villages, tovns, and cities, ar!.d 805,000 persons moved to
farms. The net loss by this migration wa-s 258,000. But this
was more than offset by the excess of births over deaths. There
^vere

753,000 births and 309,000 deaths.

With the exception of the West South Central States, in

which the farm population remained about the same during the
year, each of tho major geographic divisions reported an increase. As in the preceding year, there vjas a net movement to
farms in both the Mew England and the Pacific Coast States,
In
all of the other geographic divisions, the not movement was av;ay
from farms. The South Atlantic States contributed 64,000 to
this not movement J the West South Central States, 63,000; tho
East South Central Str.tcs, 61,000; and the West North Central
States, 57,000, As in p'revious years, there v/as an excess of
births over deaths in each division, wil th the South Atlantic
and the East South Central Divisions ecch adding more than
100,000 persons, a nd the West South Central States contributing 85,000.
These tlireo groups of States, all in the South,
contributed tivo-thirds of the total excess of births over deaths,
although tjiey include only about one-half of the total farm population.
The estimates for 1939 are based upon reports from 13,609
farmers in all parts of the coimtry, supplying information for
78,544 farms.

Preliminary' figures^ subject to correction when Census data become

available. The fam population at the beginning of one year is
equal to the farm population at the bepinninp: of the prex'ious year
plus the births and arrivals at farms, minus deaths and departures
from farms, p3.us or minus the gain or loss due to farm to farm migration. For the years 1930 to 193U, inclusive, certain allowances
are included, though not shcA-n in the table. These allowances are
due to (a) changes to or from farming without change in residence
and (b) changes in interpretation of Census instmctions. It is
not possible to separate the effects of these two factors.

/2

Persons who move from far^.s in one geographic division to farms

in another division,. For the United States total these must balance. The figu-res on fam to farm m.ovemient were not tabulated
separately before 1930.

the Census.
