  abstract: In this study, U.S. agriculture is viewed as a
  abstract: multidimensional phenomenon varying along three distinct axes
  abstract: of measurement: corporate-commercial agriculture, fanning-
  abstract: firm agriculture, and small-farm agriculture. Data were
  abstract: obtained from the U.S. Census of Agriculture for the years
  abstract: 1982 to 1992, and transformed to improve symmetry. Multiple-
  abstract: indicators of the structure of agriculture were used to
  abstract: replicate and extend the previous work of Wimberley (I 987).
  abstract: Oblique principal-axis factor analysis produced pattern
  abstract: matrices consistent with expected dimensional structures.
  abstract: Factor-scores were used to estimate scales that had high
  abstract: reliabilities (omega coefficients > .9) and strong inter-
  abstract: temporal correlations for each scale across years were
  abstract: observed. Although the content of each scale was consistent
  abstract: across the three years, structural shifts in U.S.
  abstract: agristructure occur-red at the county level during the 1980s.
  abstract: Because farming is also affected by technological and
  abstract: environmental elements, the relationships between farm
  abstract: program participation, production systems, agrochemical
  abstract: inputs, and geographic regions with agristructure were
  abstract: investigated. Bivariate correlations indicated that to
  abstract: accurately measure agristructure, farm program participation,
  abstract: production systems, agrochemical inputs, and regional
  abstract: variations should be considered in future studies.
