Rural America

USA Today has an article about a shrinking NH town that includes some stats that I've never considered before about rural areas.

• 17% of Americans live in rural areas (that seems so small to me!)
• Only 4% of rural Americans make their living farming

The general idea of the article seems to be that governmental policies and funds for rural America are focused on farming and therefore neglect the majority of the people and industries in those areas.

In the grand scheme of things, I'm not sure what this is all coming to...thoughts?
