Abstract
The analysis employs aggregate census data from a sample of 197 rural counties in America to explore and test a model linking variation in fertility rates to characteristics of agricultural structure and to nonagricultural socioeconomic determinants. The model, strongly supported by the data, explains 54% of the total variation in rural fertility rates. The structure-of-agriculture dimensions explain nearly half of this.-from Author
