\1\Includes persons doing farmwork on all farms. These data, published by the Department of Agriculture, differ from those on agricultural employment by the Department of Labor (see Table B- 35) because of differences in the method of approach, in concepts of employment, and in time of month for which the data are collected. \2\Prior to 1982 this category was termed ``family workers'' and did not include nonfamily unpaid workers. Series discontinued in 2002. \3\ Acreage harvested plus acreages in fruits, tree nuts, and vegetables and minor crops. Includes double-cropping. \4\Basis for farm employment series was discontinued for 1981 through 1984. Employment is estimated for these years.
