Abstract
Description
This article is a comprehensive summary of survey results from the March 1986 follow-up survey of over 900 North Dakota farmers initially contacted in March and April 1985. That year 933 farmers and ranchers were surveyed regarding their 1984 financial and other socio-economic characteristics, such as their off-farm employment histories and trade patterns. Causes of the farm situation, attitudes about farming and farmers, financial assistance policies, management adjustment strategies and the effects on personal lives are presented in this paper.
