Age of Operators The average age of operators was found to be about the same in both areas, years in Lowell area and in Taunton area. The distribu- tion of ages, however, does not sliow the same similarity. (Table 13.) While per cent of the operators in 'I'aunton area were below the age of 35, in Lowell area this group included only per cent. Taunton area exceeded Lowell area also in the percentage of operators over 45 years old, but the latter showed a greater percentage in the age grouji between 35 and 45 years. The part-time farmers in Lowell area, there- fore, were represented to a greater extent by the middle age group, while in I'aimton area there was a predominance of younger and older Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station.
