Rural America is known worldwide for its productive farms and agricultural abundance. Less well-known are the rural businesses that service America's farms, supplying inputs, buying output, and providing consumer goods to rural families. Even less well-known are the 70,000 small and medium-sized industrial firms that are located in rural communities. These businesses have slowly increased in number over the past half century as the farm population has dropped by two-thirds, the rural nonfarm population has grown slightly, and the national population has almost doubled. This article examines the role of agricultural change in rural decline and recommends two possibilities for expanding economic activity in rural communities
