This release presents figures from the 1950 Census of Agriculture, together with available comparative data from the 1945 Census of Agriculture. The figures from the 1950 Census are preliminary and are subject to revision. A similar report has been released for every county in the United States. A preliminary report, carrying State totals only, was issued following the publication of figures for all of the counties in the State.
Generally, the data for both 1950 and 1945 are based upon the tabulation of reports for all farms in the county. However, the 1950 data for items followed by a star (*) represent estimates for all farms made on the basis of reports from a sample of appriximately 20-percent of the farms.
Inventory items are for April 1, 1950 and January 1, 1945; and production items are for the calendar years 1949 and 1944.
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.
