California agriculture is sometimes seen C as being dominated by large million dollar farms, owned and operated by absentee landlords and multinational corporations. What is the reality of farm size and ownership, and the residency and off farm work characteristics of farm operators? This article looks at recent trends in farm structure as revealed in the 1974 Census of Agriculture, and compares California with aggregate U.S. data.
