1. Age of Small Commercial-Farm Owners
Table 2 shows the number of small commercial-
farm owners at different age groups. The ages
ranged by 41 years with the eldest respondent at
73 years and the youngest at 26 years. The ages
were almost normally distributed about the mean
going to the highest and to the lowest brackets.
The distribution has a mean of 49.60 years and
median of 49.33. The modal age group is 46-52
years with a frequency of eight which includes the
mean and median values.
The data imply that swine raising is an
enterprise for all ages, that any individual
regardless of age could engage in this business.
