Abstract

Unharvested produce may represent market inefficiencies and forgone farmer income. This article estimates costs and returns for select southeastern vegetable crops based on field estimates from North Carolina. Findings indicate that additional harvests are warranted in some cases and, when aggregated across the state, represent significant unrealized farm income.
