      abstract = {Small farm operators constituted half of all southern farm   operators in 1969.  Each sold less than $2,500 worth of   agricultural products; collectively, they contributed about  4 percent of the South's total agricultural sales.  Yet,  small farmers controlled an important portion on the  South's  agricultural resources.  They operated over 15  percent of all the South’s land in farms and owned more  than 20 percent of land owned by farm operators.  They  owned land and buildings valued at over $12.3 billion or  18.4 percent of total farm property value for the South.   They held about 19 percent of the value of all machinery  and equipment and supplied over 20 percent of all land  rented to others by farm operators.  Minority farm  operators were almost 8 percent of all farm operators in  the South.  These farm operators were unique in that they  differed from their white counterparts in most measures  identified in this report.  This report identifies,  compares, and contrasts resources and characteristics of  small farm operators in the 13 southern States.  Small  farmers are described by race and economic class.},
