Agriculture, The Environment And Rural Sociology In The South, John K. Thomas Dec 1992

Agriculture, The Environment And Rural Sociology In The South, John K. Thomas

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Agricultural conservation research was revived by rural sociologists in the late 1970s and gained momentum during the 1980s. Most of this research was focused, however, on social and farm organizational factors affecting technology adoption and diffusion. Few studies included environmental factors such as soil characteristics, land physiography, and climate. This paper reviews rural sociologists' recent attention to environmental factors. Next, it describes the ecological and agricultural variation among production regions in the South and overviews Southern producers' participation in federal farm conservation programs. Finally, it prescribes three tasks for rural sociologists in the South to consider if they are to …

Determinants Of Farmers' Satisfactions With Farming And With Life: A Replication And Extension, C. Milton Coughenour, Louis Swanson Dec 1992

Determinants Of Farmers' Satisfactions With Farming And With Life: A Replication And Extension, C. Milton Coughenour, Louis Swanson

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

The purpose of this study is to broaden the understanding of the determinants of farmers' satisfactions with life as a whole and with farming per se by replicating and extending Molnar's 1985 study of the overall subjective well-being of Alabama farmers. Data from a 1982 study of Kentucky farmers are used to accomplish this objective. Molnar's conclusions regarding the individual and structural determinants of farmers' global well-being are generally confirmed. In addition, the farmer's global satisfaction with life is shown to be related to his satisfaction with farming but the structural determinants of global and farm satisfaction differ. Net farm …

Concern About Eating Genetically Engineered Food, Glenn D. Israel, Thomas J. Hoban Dec 1992

Concern About Eating Genetically Engineered Food, Glenn D. Israel, Thomas J. Hoban

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Concern about eating genetically engineered food is explored for a sample of residents from Florida and North Carolina. Previous research on consumers' food safety concerns and perceived risk associated with food production suggests that concern about genetically engineered food is influenced by three factors. Concern is influenced by how well informed consumers are about food technology, their capacity to understand that information, and the compatibility of genetic engineering with consumers' moral beliefs. Utilizing logistic regression, women and persons who viewed genetic engineering to be morally wrong were found to have greater concern about eating genetically engineered foods. Awareness and educational …

Community Structural Changes And The Nature Of Leadership, Gina L. Gilbreath Dec 1992

Community Structural Changes And The Nature Of Leadership, Gina L. Gilbreath

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Many communities in the Southeastern United States have experienced dramatic social and demographic change during the past two decades. Much of this change is brought about by population growth as well as other socioeconomic transformations such as increases in per capita income and educational attainment. One result has been an obvious change in leadership and social structure at the county level as engendered by these population and socio-economic factors. The objective of this research is to examine the nature of leadership and structural change in a Southern county that has been experiencing this categorical type of transformation. More specifically, this …

Job Placement Of Jtpa-Trained Welfare Recipients: Implications For The Jobs Program In Southern And Nonmetro States, Linda M. Ghelfi Dec 1992

Job Placement Of Jtpa-Trained Welfare Recipients: Implications For The Jobs Program In Southern And Nonmetro States, Linda M. Ghelfi

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

The new Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training Program was instituted to provide education, training, and employment for adults receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children. This study uses job placement rates for AFDC recipients trained through Job Training Partnership Act programs to gauge the difficulty participants in the new program may have in finding jobs. The results indicate that, at minimum, there would have been 56 percent more participants in the new JOBS program than there were in Job Training Partnership Act programs had the JOBS program started in the 1986 program year. Only about 60 percent of the …

Employment Migration Among Graduates Of Southern Land-Grant Universities, John A. Ballweg, Li Li Dec 1992

Employment Migration Among Graduates Of Southern Land-Grant Universities, John A. Ballweg, Li Li

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

This research addresses the geographic mobility of 2,028 graduates of 15 Southern land-grant universities. Concern was directed toward those who accepted positions outside the state where they graduated compared with those who remained within the state. The study uses panel data involving a 1976-77 survey while students were enrolled in an agriculture curriculum at land-grant schools and a follow-up survey a decade later. Migration patterns were identified and both demographic characteristics and employment history were examined. Migrant graduates were compared with non-migrant graduates according to what they considered important in accepting a first job as well as actual job earnings. …

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers And The "Curse Of Doug Williams", Richard C. Crepeau Dec 1992

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers And The "Curse Of Doug Williams", Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

With the end of the National Football League's regular season, we have come to the end of another season of despair for the Tampa Bay Bucs. New levels of futility were achieved as the Bucs turned in their tenth consecutive season in which they have lost at least ten games. And the Bucs don't just lose, they lose in new and creative ways. This is a team of legendary incompetence, whose poor performance over a sustained period of time is earning them a special place in the history of the NFL.
