Abstract

Farm tenure places important production decisions in the hands of farm operators, who may not be the most efficient decisionmakers. This study estimates a Cobb†Douglas production function to examine the effect of the structure of farm tenure categories on agricultural production in the northeast region of the US. The analysis indicates that a 10 percent increase in full†owner and part†owner operations decreases and increases output by 2 percent and 3 percent, respectively; tenant operations also increase agricultural output by 1.8 percent to 2.5 percent. The results suggest that the relationship between tenure structure and agricultural production may hold long†term implications for agricultural production.
