1930 Census of Agriculture: Chickens and Chicken Eggs, and Turkeys, Ducks, and Geese Raised on Farms
1930 Census of Agriculture: Chickens and Chicken Eggs, and Turkeys, Ducks, and Geese Raised on Farms
This report contains, in compact and convenient form, the statistics for chickens and specified poultry products collected in a personal canvass of all farms in the U.S. Most of these stats are arranged in groups according to the size of flocks of chickens on hand over 3 months old, April 1, 1930, in order to bring out the differences in large and small-scale operations.
All items are presented in detail, by States and counties, with a summary for the U.S. Other items covered include number of farms reporting any chickens or eggs, number of chickens raised, chickens sold, eggs produced, eggs sold, and value of specified poultry products in 1929.
A Note on Language
Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
