A study of factors influencing participation in the program of vocational agriculture as the basis of developing an adult farmer program in the Haysi area of Dickenson County

In this study eighty farmers were interviewed. As far as the writer was able to determine, this number represented over fifty per cent of the farmers who received one-half or more of their income from the farm as cash or family food. If the number interviewed may be considered to constitute a valid study, several conclusions are formulated.
