How do low-income farm families perceive poverty and do they relate themselves to it? Are they satisfied with their present condition? Are they willing to change? In an attempt to answer these questions and gain knowledge about the economic, social, and psychological factors that facilitate or hinder change, a study was made of families in a low-farm-income area of Wisconsin. Findings are discussed and suggestions made for Extension personnel working with low-income families.
Douglah et al. (Sun,) studied this question.
