Don't Overlook the Agricultural Census By James Pylant Although the population schedules of the federal censuses are far more telling as far as identifying members of a household, agricultural schedules also record information of interest to the genealogist. These records are largely overlooked, perhaps because researchers are just not familiar with them. Most libraries do not have these film rolls, which like the population schedules, were filmed by the National Archives. Beginning with the Seventh Federal Census (1850), a schedule of "Agricultural Productions" listed the holdings of individual farms.
The first agricultural census recorded the name of owner, agent or manager of the farm, value of farming implements and machinery, horses, asses and mules, milch cows, working oxen, other cattle, sheep, swine, value of livestock, bushels of wheat, bushels of Indian corn, bushels of oats, pounds of rice, and pounds of tobacco.
