Time Use By Small Farm Families In Southwest Virginia: An Approach For The Inclusion Of Household In Farming Systems Research And Extension, John S. Caldwell, Michael French Smith, Vicki Karagianis, Ruth D. Harris Dec 1983

Time Use By Small Farm Families In Southwest Virginia: An Approach For The Inclusion Of Household In Farming Systems Research And Extension, John S. Caldwell, Michael French Smith, Vicki Karagianis, Ruth D. Harris

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

In this paper we first present an overview of Farming Systems Research and Extension (FSR/E), contrasting the importance placed on the household in the FSRIE conceptual framework with the lack of explicit attention given it in FSR/E methodology. An initial 47-farm survey suggested that female household members play key roles in intensive crop production and off-farm income generation. A time allocation study during May-October, 1982, investigated the roles of female and male household heads and working age children in a representative 10-farm subsample. Results indicated greater women's contributions to livestock-related production activities than originally hypothesized and reduced time spent by …

Use Of Government Services By Low-Income, Rural Residents In Alabama, Gerald C. Wheelock, Joseph Befecadu, Priscilla Salant Dec 1983

Use Of Government Services By Low-Income, Rural Residents In Alabama, Gerald C. Wheelock, Joseph Befecadu, Priscilla Salant

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Overparticipation in government programs often receives much publicity, while the question of underparticipation by those eligible is seldom addressed. It is hypothesized that participation rates and reasons for nonparticipation among eligibles are related to household characteristics and county-level variables. A random cluster sample of 251 households in three randomly selected, rural, low-income Alabama counties was surveyed in August and September, 1981. Data analyzed deal with the utilization of food stamps, Medicaid, Medicare, and county health services. It is estimated that needy nonparticipants among eligibles in food stamps are about 22 percent; in Medicaid about 46 percent; in Medicare about 19 …

Beef Cattle Producers Of The Texas Gulf Coast: Characteristics And Production Practices, Howard Ladewig, Ray Garibay Dec 1983

Beef Cattle Producers Of The Texas Gulf Coast: Characteristics And Production Practices, Howard Ladewig, Ray Garibay

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Agricultural production in Texas and the nation has been characterized by two major trends: farms are getting larger in size and fewer in number, and more farmers are seeking off-farm employment. For those who remain in farming, technology is becoming more complex, the industry is becoming more highly structured, and the market for their agricultural products is being affected by international events. Today's farmers must have strong managerial skills and be aware of modern agricultural technologies if they are to succeed. The purpose here is to identify and measure characteristics of ranchers and related activities as organizational units; and to …

An Analysis Of The Impact Of Industrial Development In Selected Counties In South Carolina, Marguerite R. Howie, Robert L. Phillips, Sharon L. Wade Dec 1983

An Analysis Of The Impact Of Industrial Development In Selected Counties In South Carolina, Marguerite R. Howie, Robert L. Phillips, Sharon L. Wade

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Industrial development can provide hope and opportunity for residents of a community. Whether advantageous or not, it brings about various community changes such as job opportunities, population growth, higher tax base and the need for more public utilities. It is questionable as to whether industrialization alleviates or causes social, economic and political problems. Furthermore, the previously mentioned changes may also affect a community/county when an industry leaves the area. Industrialization prompts a need for researchers to focus on the impact of industry within rural/urban counties, such as Charleston, Colleton, Edgefield, Greenville, Horry, Jasper, Richland, and York. In an effort to …

Position And Prospects Of Black Farmers In The South, Surendra P. Singh Dec 1983

Position And Prospects Of Black Farmers In The South, Surendra P. Singh

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Almost 94 percent of black farms in the United States have been lost since 1920, and the remaining 57,271 farms constituted only 2.3 percent of all farms in 1978. Most (95 percent) black farm operators were located in the South. However, they constituted only 5.4 percent of all farm operators in the South. Since 1959, there have been some dramatic changes not only in the number of black farms but in their composition also. Ninety three percent of the South's black farmers were small, both in size and product sales, and they operated only 1.4 percent of all operated land. …

Demographic Trends And Consumer Demand For Agricultural Products, Patricia Knight Guseman, Stephen G. Sapp Dec 1983

Demographic Trends And Consumer Demand For Agricultural Products, Patricia Knight Guseman, Stephen G. Sapp

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Food consumption patterns affected by macro-level population characteristics are examined with respect to projected demographic trends. Standard demand models based on price and income are enhanced to reflect impacts of total population, household size, and regional population distribution. These models provide baseline information for illustrating effects on food demand under different social-demographic scenarios, such as changes in population size, regional migration pat terns, and changes in household size, composition, and income growth, rates. Likely demographic projections show a greater proportional effect of total population, household size, and regional shifts on food demand than income for some commodities and for total …

Sociodemographic Predictors Of Rural Poverty: A Regional Analysis, Alton Thompson, Betty J. Traub, Randall P. White Dec 1983

Sociodemographic Predictors Of Rural Poverty: A Regional Analysis, Alton Thompson, Betty J. Traub, Randall P. White

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

The focus of the present study is to determine the extent to which the socio-demographic variables of education, occupation, number of children, race, sex, age, and willingness to travel for employment and predictors of a rural family's level of poverty. Discriminant analysis is employed to assess the accuracy of these variables in - discriminating between poor and nonpoor families randomly selected from thirty low income, rural counties in ten contiguous southeastern states. The results are supportive of previous studies as these variables are found to be statistically significant discriminants between the poor and the nonpoor. The profile of a rural …
