Excerpt from Farm Power and Farm Machines
The Census of 1950 reported about h80,000 fewer farms than in l9h5. Much of this decrease was due to the revised definition of a farm which excluded many small places classed as farms in earlier years. If the definition of a farm in 1950 had been the same as in 1985 there would have been more automobiles, motortrucks, and tractors, especially garden and home-made tractors on farms in 1950. The places not classed as farms in the 1950 Census were of the sort most likely to report home made and garden tractors.
