was comrsrable to the distribution of farm types among all farms with white

operators. Of the major types of farming, the proportion of farms in the low

economic classes (V and VI) was especially high for cotton and peanut farms.

 The North Florida part of the study area includes the most important

hog-producing area of the state. In general terms, most of the remaining work-

stock in the state are also in this area. Both cattle and poultry numbers in

the study area are rather modest relative to the state's total.

 Other than workstock, nonwhite operators of survey farms reported a

much smaller than proportional number of all types of livestock. While con-

stituting 23 percent of total farms, these farmers reported 46 percent of the

workstock. Approximately 12 percent of the hogs and poultry and less than 5

percent of the cattle were on farms with nonwhite operators (Table 47). As

mentioned previously, there were no nonwhite farms above economic class IV.

When viewed from the standpoint of total livestock numbers on all farms in

economic class IV and below, proportions of livestock on farms with nonwhite

operators were considerably higher but were still less than proportional to the

number of farms with nonwhite operators for all livestock types except work-

stock. This higher proportion of livestock numbers on nonwhite farms was due

to the fact that almost 50 percent of all:livestock on farms with white opera-

tors was concentrated on the 48 farms in economic classes I, II, and III.

 Operators of almost half of the farms surveyed reported no tractor

 power on the farm (Table 48). Farmers reporting neither workstock or tractor

 power numbered 77 and constituted almost 21 percent of all farms. The propor-

 tion of farmers reporting neither workstock nor tractor power was considerably

 higher among farms with white than among those with nonwhite operators.

 Approximately 60 percent of the farms with white operators reported tractor

 power compared with 24 percent of the farms with nonwhite operators. In the

 main, tractors were on commercial farms, although a few were reported on
