FARM
Farm, NAPP definition
Group: Economic — HOUSEHOLD

Description

FARM indicates the connection of a household to agriculture. To accommodate differences in census enumeration practices and occupational structure, FARM in NAPP is not constructed in the same way as FARM in the IPUMS.

FARM classifies a household's connections to agriculture into four levels:

1: Nobody in the household indicates any connection with agriculture

2: At least one member of the household is a farmer, and the household's location meets the population [density] threshold.

Farmers are identified by having an occupation in minor group 6-1 (See the OCCHISCO codes). If the only agricultural occupation(s) in the household were husbandmen or cottars (61115), the household did not receive this code. Husbandmen and cottars are found in Norway, Sweden, and Iceland, and their residence was not always on a farm.

If there was a farmer in the household a parish population density threshold of 6 in Britain was applied. Households with farmers that were in locations with greater population [densities] than these thresholds were not given this code
3: At least one member of the household was an agricultural laborer; or in Norway there was a cottar in the household, who had no other trade.

Agricultural laborers were individuals with an occupation in unit groups 621-626 and 628. (See the codes for OCCHISCO). People with occupations in unit groups 627 (Gardeners) and 629 (Animal care workers) were often not living on farms.
4: Cottars are individuals with the occupational code 61115. In Norway cottars (occupational code 61115) in the household who had a secondary occupation, such as a trade (generally, an occupation from minor group 71 to minor group 94).

5: Anyone who has an "Unknown" occupation is classified in this category.

Comparability

This variable is fully comparable across all countries.

Norway
The 1865 census contains data on agricultural production, but this information has not been incorporated into the NAPP dataset yet.

United States
FARM in NAPP is not completely compatible with FARM in the IPUMS. Users should select the variable FARMIPUM if they want to use an IPUMS-compatible variable.
