Financial Viability of Farm Families

Abstract

Using data from new farm surveys, the authors constructed a viability ratio to measure a family’s ability to meet its obligations from total income. Coupled with other farm characteristics, the ratio can give policymakers a means of seeing why some farms are viable and others are not. The analysis is based on a survey of 1,616 farm families in Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Tennessee.
