Farm Family Budgets--A Moving Picture
Abstract
T HE question is often asked, how does the composition of the family budget change over time when the independent variable, family income,2 changes? In the way of a partial answer, at least, a study of continuous farm family budgets based on secondary data was undertaken by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics for the years immediately preceding World War II.
