Excerpt from Farm Family Income: Its Distribution and Relation to Nonfarm Income A concentration of State economic areas in the highest median rural farm family income group occurs in the diagonal that extends from the southwestern corner of Minnesota to northeastern Ohio. Twenty-one of 38 areas in this in come group are found here. The remaining 17 areas are widely dispersed-in locations that extend from central Connecticut to Puget Sound and southern California. This highest median income group of areas comprises almost 11 percent of all State economic areas, and, in 19h9, these areas contained 11 percent of all rural farm families and unrelated individuals. The estimated median incomes for each State economic area are shown in appendix table 111. Perhaps, however, a somewhat more detailed accounting is needed of the geography of area median rural farm family incomes for the lowest and the highest median income groups. It is in these two groups that greatest possibilities for variation occur. Among the 51 areas with median incomes of less than 6 had less than $600 (2 under and the lowest was $h56. An additional 6 of these areas had median incomes that ranged between $600 and $7119, while in 13 areas the median incomes ranged between $750 and $899. In a little more than half (26) of these lowest income areas, the median incomes fell beween $900 and $999.
