Agriculture :
Working off the farm, 2007

Over the years, farmers working off the farm have become increasingly the norm in agriculture. In 2007 in Minnesota, 38.9% of farmers reported that they work more than 200 days a year off the farm, about the same as 2002. Across the state, the percentage is lower in southern and western counties than in the northern and eastern counties, corresponding with the maps on farming as a primary occupation, farm size, and other indicators of farm activity.
