Our rural communities are home to some of the most hard working and
fiercely self-reliant Americans in the United States. Strong and
secure rural communities are essential to creating an economy built
to last that rewards hard work and responsibility -- not
outsourcing, loopholes, and risky financial deals. While the
security of the middle class has been threatened by the
irresponsible financial collapse and the worst economic downturn
since the Great Depression, rural Americans continue to come
together to work hard and make ends meet. The values that have
helped hard-working, responsible families weather the storm
continue to move our economy forward. This book discusses factors
affecting former residents' returning to rural communities; rural
employment trends in recession and recovery; the 2014 Farm Bill
rural development provisions; the secure rural schools and
community self-determination act of 2000' and the rural education
achievement program.

In the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, the
Congress required that the Commission report on rural Medicare
beneficiaries' access to care, rural providers' quality of care,
special rural Medicare payments, and the adequacy of Medicare
payments to rural providers. In addition to the findings presented
on each of the four topics, this book presents a set of principles
designed to guide expectations and policies with respect to rural
access, quality, and payments for all sectors. This book also
discusses multi-enterprising farm households and the importance of
their alternative business ventures in the rural economy. The
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers the
greatest number of rural development programs and has the highest

programs is provided in this book.

Rural development researchers and practitioners have argued in
recent years that investing in a broad range of assets is a
critical component of long-term economic growth in rural
communities. Wealth can contribute to people's welfare in many ways
beyond increasing income, such as providing economic resilience in
adverse circumstances or enhancing one's power and prestige.
Understanding the distribution of wealth across and within rural
communities is critical. Additionally, population loss is a
longstanding concern among rural development practitioners. Nearly
half of today's non-metropolitan counties lost population through
net out-migration over the past 20 years. Population loss tends to
increase tax burdens, reduce property values, and reduce both the
demand for and supply of local goods and services. Rural
out-migration is also troublesome because it is highly concentrated
among young adults, especially those possessing or acquiring
education and skills. This book examines rural America, with a
focus on rural wealth, out-migration, population and transportation
issues.
