    7 p., The increasing use of computers on the farm raises the question of whether these new skills will be valued in off-farm employment.

    AGE 84924952, Starting farm operators are using family help to aid them getting started. Family assistance in the form of labor, machinery, and housing was frequently received by operators. Most farmers interviewed had entered farming through arrangements with parents by utilizing a father/son operation, then renting from a nonrelative, and purchasing land as the third step. Off-farm employment also was frequently used by starting farmers and wives to aid in generating income.
