Book excerpt: This study of the characteristics of high- and low-income counties in the upper Tennessee Valley supports the conclusions and general recommendations reached in other studies of low-income rural areas in the South. A decline in the number of people dependent on agriculture for a livelihood and an increase in the quantity of productive farm capital for those remaining in agriculture are necessary adjustments to raise farm-family income in low-income rural counties to a level more nearly approaching that of high-income counties.
