Relationship Between Size of Farm Business and Labor Income on Utah Farms

Since the turn of the century there has been a trend within the State of Utah toward moe and smaller farms. The original farm units taken up by the early settlers of this state have been divided and subdivided until Utah today has hundreds of uneconomical-sized farms too small to be operated profitably under their present organization. To make room for the new agricultural generation, the old homesteads have been divided among the sons of the families until a farm that was once supporting one family is now unsatisfactorily contributing to the support of several families. This condition has resulted in serious economic and social problems.
