This book was released on 1992 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decades of economic expansion which followed World War II witnessed a dramatic decrease in the size of the farm labour force but the fundamental structures of agricultural production remained constant in Canada and the Northern United States. The economic turbulence of the last two decades has raised questions as to whether this structural continuity will persist. To date, the rate of economic concentration did increase among the fewer but larger surviving farm units, but concentration proceeded at a quite modest and gradual pace. Most farm production was still organized by independent family enterprises and even the largest farms were relatively small units compared to enterprises in other production sectors. Rates of entry and exit of farm enterprises in the 50+ sales percentiles, size classes which generate 93 per cent of farm sales, were also relatively modest. Upward size class mobility by farm enterprises was even more modest. The proportion of total family income provided by non-agricultural income flows on mid-sized farms is significant and appears to be increasing. These mid-sized farms continue their role as the core component of the Canadian agricultural system. The pursuit of non-farm income sources can be viewed as a "private stabilization program" created by farm families. Statistics Canada's Agriculture-Population Census Linkage is a unique policy analysis resource which enables us to examine relations between farm enterprise and farm family viability. The large sample size of the Ag-Pop data base permits a reliable disaggregation of variations in farm enterprise and farm family economic organization by scale of production, commodity sector, and region. Forty per cent of the Middle 1 farm families and one-quarter of the Middle 2 families rely on non-farm income flows to attain total family income equal to or greater than Statistics Canada's Low Income Cut-Off level (LICO). The importance of non-agricultural income for mid-sized farms suggests that rural development strategies can make sense as a farm program

Download or read book Farm Income Variability and the Supply of Off Farm Labor written by Ashok K. Mishra and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If farmers are risk averse, greater farm income variability should increase off-farm labor supply. This effect is confirmed for a sample of Kansas farmers. Off-farm employment of farmers and their spouses is also found to be significantly influenced by farm experience, off-farm work experience, farm size, leverage, efficiency, and farm-specific education. In addition, farm operators and spouses who receive significant income support through government farm programs are less likely to work off the farm. This may suggest that policy changes reducing farm income support payments may increase off-farm employment of farmers and their spouses.

Download or read book Public Policy in Agriculture written by Ashok K. Mishra and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, developed countries have formulated public policies in agriculture ranging from supporting rural life and farm income to promoting sustainability of food and fibre production. Public Policy in Agriculture: Impact on Labor Supply and Household Income addresses the lack of empirical research in this area. It explores the impact of differing approaches to public policy through a series of international case studies, from the USA and Canada to South Korea, Norway, Slovenia and Taiwan. At a time when much of the developed world has been experiencing budget deficits and policy-makers and the public in general have re-opened the debate on public expenditures in the agricultural sector, this is a timely volume. Mishra, Viaggi and Gomez y Paloma have written an authoritative guide to agricultural public policy that will serve as a reference for academics, researchers, students, and policy-makers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To determine the implications of the above for policies to address farm income disasters 1.2 Organization of the Paper The paper is organized as follows. [...] Data on the number of farms by sales class, the concentration of sales and other production- related variables, and the distribution of income and receipts was analyzed in the study. [...] The analysis estimated the distribution effects and costs of the four scenarios for the time period of 1993-1997, and projected results for the time period from 1999-2003. [...] The results indicated that variability in real net farm income in the sector and at the farm level has not diminished, but that non-farm income has helped to reduce the variability in total farm household income. [...] The paper developed operational rules for ranking income distributions that could be used, given appropriate data, to address a range of policy issues concerning the economic welfare of the agricultural community, the comparability of agricultural and non-agricultural incomes, and the extent and depth of poverty in farming.
