      abstract = {Analysis of structure in American agriculture often  overlooks both the subtle and complex differences among  farms of varying sizes within a relatively small production  area. The resource components of farms of various sizes  significantly affect the size and crop mix structure of  each group of farms. To examine this structure-sampled  farms have been grouped using cluster analysis-. The  multivariate data observations are grouped without  preconceived hypotheses. Statistical analysis of the  results reveal that farms group somewhat by size and crop  mix. However, smaller farms do vary substantially in  composition from larger farms and avoid significant  production of risk-oriented crops.},
