Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wartime Production Adjustments on Small Farms For the purposes of this report, a small farm is considered to be one whose leve1*of production in 1942 was insufficient to have fully employed a typical farm family at usual rates of efficiency. This is only one of many standards that might have been used in describing small farms. It was adopted because it appeared that such a classifica tion would lend itself more readily to application in different parts of the country than would a classification in terms of acreages, or some other measure. Obviously, all farms are not operated by families that could.be considered typical and, as shown later, the smaller farms tend to have a smaller family labor force than the larger farms. Full employment, as used here, represents the amount of work that is normally accomplished by'a farm worker in a year in a given area under average conditions and with the usual equipment.
