Abstract
Excerpts from the report: This report is one of a series covering consumption by income. This volume deals with the food of families on farms in five regions: New England, Middle Atlantic and North Central, Plains and Mountain, Pacific, and Southeast. Information regarding the diets of farm families living in different parts of the United States was obtained as part of the 1935-36 study of consumer purchases. This report, one in a series for that study as a whole, considers the relationships between income and family composition on the one hand, and the money value of food, both farm-furnished and purchased, programs of food production for household use, and the quantities consumed of different types of food, on the other. This report also discusses the nutritive value of farm family diets and their probable adequacy from the nutritional viewpoint.
