Farm Income Variability and the Supply of Off-Farm Labor
If farmers are risk averse, greater farm income variability should increase off-farm labor supply. This effect is confirmed for a sample of Kansas farmers. Off-farm employment of farmers and their spouses is also found to be significantly influenced by farm experience, off-farm work experience, farm size, leverage, efficiency, and farm-specific education. In addition, farm operators and spouses...
متن کاملOff-Farm Income, Technology Adoption, and Farm Economic Performance
The economic well-being of most U.S. farm households depends on income from both onfarm and off-farm activities.

I focus on farm families without parents, siblings or partners, and examine the effects of the existence of elderly children of the farm couple. I find that both the father and the mother tend to reduce their participation in off...
