      abstract = {Farmland acreage in metropolitan counties rose by nearly  half between 1974 and 1982 as metropolitan areas were  redefined and additional counties were designated as metro.   Metro farms are generally smaller, more land intensive in  their production, more diverse, and more focused on  high-value production than farms elsewhere.  As of 1982,  metro farms accounted for 29 percent of the U.S. total, 30  percent of total U.S. farm sales, and 16 percent of U.S.  cropland.},
