This bibliography was compiled in preparation for a workshop on
"Small Farm Families and Public Policy," sponsored by the National Rural
Center, with the cooperation of the Farm Foundation, Ford Foundation,
U.S. Department of Agriculture, and others. It includes published
articles, unpublished dissertations, and research in progress, pertaining
to small farm characteristics and problems. The materials have been
arranged by general subject area: 1) structure of the farming sector; 2)
2) small farm production; 3) the small-scale farm operator and family;
and 4) agricultural policies affecting small-scale farmers relevant
research now in progress follow the published anu unpublished articles
listed in each section.
Most of the articles cited here were located through computer
searches of three data bases: AGRICOLA, Dissertation Abstracts, and
CRIS. AGRICOLA is a comprehensive computer-indexed system of published
works relating to agriculture, maintained by the National Agricultural
Library. Many of the articles covered by this search came from the
AGECON subfile of AGRICOLA, maintained by the American Agricultural
Economics Documentation Center. The search of this data base was
restricted to articles published in, or after, 1970, and yielded 303
relevant sources. A second search covered Dissertation Abstracts Inter-
national, for the years after 1968, and yielded 25 articles. The third
base used was the Current Research Information System, CRIS, which contains
descriptions of ongoing work at colleges and experiment stations
"i
- r r\
throughout the U.S. This search yielded 63 relevant projects. All
computer searches employed a list of selected key terms relating to small
farms, low income farms, and farm families. Computer-supplied material
was supplemented by manual searches of the Public Affairs Information
Service Bulletin (Vols. 61 and 62), and the Bibliography of Agriculture
(Vols. 38-41, No. 3), as well as bibliographies of important recent works
dealing with small farms. These supplementary searches yielded 63
additional articles, for a total of 454 sources. Articles focusing on
foreign agriculture have been deleted from this list.
This bibliography cannot claim total coverage of all works dealing
with small farms. But it does provide a strong base of material on
various aspects of the small farm situation in the U.S.
Call numbers are included in parentheses after each item cited.
Numbers beginning with letters are National Agricultural Library call
numbers. Those beginning with numerals are Library of Congress call
numbers (the NAL converted to this system in 1976). Each dissertation
entry includes a reference to the location of its abstract in Disserta-
tion Abstracts International. Current projects listed include the name
and zip code of the institution where research is being conducted. Most
of the published materials cited are available in the National Agricul-
tural Library. The following abbreviations of journal titles are used
throughout the bibliography:
