Show picture since more than half the farms range in size from 10 to 100 acres while 1 percent vary from 2,000 to more than 38,000 acres.3 The high ratio of population to cropland results in low in- come and low living levels as well as serious deple- tion of the soil. Almost two-thirds of the farmers are tenants. Although net income per farm in Alabama in 1945 was 2.5 times that of 1940, the income per farm in 1945 was only 51 percent of the United States average compared with 61 percent in 1940.

These holdings are operated as single man- agement units with farm labor supplied by share croppers or hired help. production, with increasing emphasis on grass for livestock, is well started. However, the changes in land use that require planting and improvement of forest stands have not advanced as rapidly.

Decrease in farm population is resulting in fewer farm operators and larger farms. This also aids in making needed adjustments in land use.
