I am not sure where I read it but I am almost certain I remember this right- the US was 80% farm hands prior to WWII. Is that true?

The family farm was regulated and bought out to almost non existence. A local hog farmer explained how locally they just passed so many regulations that the little guy could never buy all the crap they said they had to have. Kinda how the Brits stole India, taxed the folks off their own land. How far reaching across America that is I don't know...
