Income and Well-Being of Farmers and the Farm Financial Crisis.

Brooks, Nora L.; And Others

Rural Sociology, v51 n4 p391-405 Win 1986

Uses national-level secondary data to examine economic/sociological experiences of United States farmers from 1960-1980's. Examines farm size, farm policy, risk, management, income, economic stress, social goals, population shifts, and part-time farming. Finds life-style and well-being contribute more than economic characteristics to farmer persistence when economic returns are low. (LFL)
