Town and Country: Linking Agriculture and the Nonfarm Rural Economies
Steven C. Deller and Mckenzie Boyce
The traditional view of farming as central to rural economic prosperity is outdated. U.S. agriculture is dominated by many small and a few very large farms, with a shrinking middle. Most small and mid-sized farms rely on off-farm income, making rural well-being more reliant on nonfarm employment than on farming.

Saturday, Jan. 3, 2026

Hilary Hoynes, Chancellor's Professor of Economics and Public Policy, University of California, Berkeley
"The Social Safety Net as an Investment in Children"
Professor Hilary Hoynes’s talk will review research on the impacts of the social safety net on children's long-term outcomes. Traditionally, economic research has emphasized the incentive effects of tax credits and transfer programs, often neglecting their potential benefits, particularly for children. Hoynes will review a growing body of evidence evaluating the impacts of childhood exposure to programs like food stamps, the EITC, and Medicaid on long term outcomes including health, education, earnings, and criminal justice involvement in adulthood. She will also discuss recent evidence from RCTs on the effect of unconditional cash supports on short term child outcomes. She will present cost-benefit analyses like the Marginal Value of Public Funds to evaluate the extent to which these programs represent a public investment in children.
