Abstract

Managerial ability is thought to be a key determinant of success in farming. This analysis evaluates managerial performance for a sample of 179 Illinois cash grain producers from 1976-83. Characteristics of the top performing groups are presented and the variability of performance is assessed. Further research needs are suggested.
