Excerpt from Ownership and Control of Resources by Minorities and Small Farmers in the SouthSmall farm operators in the South owned about 20 percent of farm land in 969. They Operated over 15 percent of the land in farms and held over 18 ercent of the value of land and buildings in addition to about 19 percent of arkat value of machinery and equipment. These same small farmers represented 9 percent of all farm operators yet they contributed less than 4 percent of arm product sales. Although their importance in the market place as measured y farm sales is negligible they do own and control a significant share of the arm resources. As decisionmakers about resource use and allocation, both human nd physical, they should command a share of the research communities attention, nd appropriate weight in planning and policy regarding resources.This paper emphasizes the importance of small farmers and identifies differ nces by race from the perspective of equality of ownership and control. Mi orities do not own or control as much as do whites. However there are significant elative differences by race and minority small farmers hold a larger portion of ll minority owned and controlled resources than do white small farmers. Re earch directed at policy, programs, problems, status, and perspectives on and bout resources should account for differences between all resource owners. Aking such distinctions would enhance the capability of analysis to identify nd evaluate distributional affects of public policies and programs.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
