The Number of the US Farms & Farm workers from



The lines graph shows the US farms and farm workers in millions between from 1910 to 2000.
First, the best time was at the beginning of the century from 1910 to 1935, the farms were around 13,800,000 farm and the farm workers were about 6,250,000 workers. In the next decade there was a slight decline in the trend, in 1950 the farms fall to 10,000,000 farms and the farm workers were reduced to less than six million workers. But in the next two years there was a sharp decline in the both farms and farm workers, the farms were fall to less than four and a half million and the farm workers were around half, about 3 million farm workers. In 1970 the fall did not stop and the number of farms and farm workers were close to gather. The farms were fall to around three million and the farm workers were about 2 million, this means some farms had only one to two workers.
This is a big problem not for the US only but for the entire world because the food will reduce and the price will increase so some people cannot buy the food to live.
