What Works Clearinghouse Rating
Salant, Priscilla; Saupe, William – Rural Development Perspectives, 1986
Survey information from 1,616 farm families in Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Tennessee was used to construct a viability ratio measuring a family's ability to meet its obligations from total income. Coupled with other farm characteristics, the ratio allows policymakers to see why some farms are viable and others are not. (JHZ)
