1974, this time by approximately 1.7 million acres.
TOTAL farms at the end of 1974 were placed at 2,830,490, down from 2,843,890 in 1973. Total U.S. land in farms was put at approximately 1.09 billion acres, York said. The trend toward larger farms was also continued in 1974, York said. Nationally, the average size of farms was 384 acres, an increase of one acre over 1973 and 52 acres larger than 1964.
Preliminary SRS estimates indicate that 1975 will see a continuing move toward fewer, but larger U.S. farms.□
