couples and the role of Government Payments
2016Co-Authors: Hisham S Elosta, Ashok K Mishra, Mitchell J MorehartAbstract:The determinants of off-farm work by married farm couples are examined using data from the 2004 Agricultural Resource Management Survey and multinomial logistic regression. Expected Government payment is found important in decreasing the likelihood of off-farm work strategies involving work by the husband only or by both husband and wife relative to a strategy of no work by either husband or wife. The marginal impact of Government Payments on the probability of the wife working off farm alone is found positive suggesting the possibility of nonpecuniary motives for off-farm employment for 21% of farm households in the selected weighted sample. A recently published report by Mishra et al. has repudiated the generally held belief that farm households are financially disadvantaged compared with other U.S. households. Two other important observations were noted. First, farm households are no different than other households in pursuing two careers and in diversifying earnings. Second, more than half of all U.S. farm operators work off farm (with 80% of these working full-time jobs) and nearly half of all spouses also are employed off the farm. Ahearn and El-Osta have remarked that off-farm work can no longer be viewed as a transitional position between agricultural and the industrial economy, but rather as a lifestyle choice, with farming as a second job or investment. The fact that nearly 80% of total household income originates from off-farm sources, with income from off-farm wages and salaries being the

off farm work intensity of Government Payments and farm exits evidence from a national survey in the united states
Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics-revue Canadienne D Agroeconomie, 2014Co-Authors: Ashok K Mishra, Mathew J Fannin, Hyunjeong JooAbstract:The last three decades have witnessed the continued exit of households from primary agriculture in the United States, where the average annual gross exit rate has averaged 10% per year. Understanding exit behavior is one key to future farm structure, management of abandoned land, depopulation of rural areas, and agricultural policy, including Government program Payments. This study empirically estimates the determinants of exit decisions of farm households. Particular attention is given to the roles of intensity of Government Payments and off-farm work decisions of farm couples in the exit decision. Using a large farm-level survey and controlling for endogeneity, results indicate that farm households with reduced intensity of Government Payments are more likely to exit farming. Households where the operator spouse works off the farm are more likely to exit farming. Additionally, households with older farmers, with the farm operator and spouse raised on a farm, and households operating farms located in Northern Great Plains are more likely to exit farming. Les trois dernieres decennies ont ete temoin d'une sortie soutenue des menages du secteur de l'agriculture primaire aux Etats-Unis, et ce, au taux annuel moyen de 10%. Comprendre les raisons de cette decision est important pour la future structure de la ferme, la gestion des terres abandonnees, le depeuplement des regions rurales, la politique agricole y compris les paiements verses dans le cadre de programmes gouvernementaux. Dans la presente etude, nous estimons de facon empirique les determinants de cette decision des menages agricoles. Nous nous penchons particulierement sur le role des paiements verses dans le cadre de programmes gouvernementaux et du travail a l'exterieur de la ferme dans la decision de quitter le secteur. Selon un vaste sondage effectue aupres des menages agricoles et soumis a des methodes de controle de l'endogeneite, les menages agricoles touches par une reduction des paiements verses dans le cadre de programmes gouvernementaux sont plus susceptibles de quitter le secteur tout comme les menages ou le conjoint ou la conjointe travaille a l'exterieur de la ferme. Les menages d'agriculteurs âges, ceux ou l'exploitant et la conjointe ont grandi sur une ferme ainsi que ceux qui exploitent une ferme dans les grandes plaines du Nord sont egalement plus susceptibles de quitter le secteur.

do agricultural subsidies affect the labor allocation decision comparing parametric and semiparametric methods
Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2013Co-Authors: Mahesh Pandit, Keshav Prasad Paudel, Ashok K MishraAbstract:This study estimates off-farm labor supply from farm operators and their spouses using two different estimation procedures and data from the 2006 Agricultural Resource Management Survey. A semiparametric model was found to be better specified to study off-farm labor supply from operators and spouses than the parametric model. Contrary to previous findings, results found using the semiparametric model indicate that neither direct nor indirect Government Payments have any impact on the off-farm labor supply of farm operators. These findings indicate that existing literature may overstate the impact of farm Payments on the economic well-being of farm households.

welfare implications of reduced Government subsidies to farm families accounting for fringe benefits
Agricultural Economics, 2013Co-Authors: Jeremy M Dantoni, Ashok K MishraAbstract:In the past three decades, farm families have relied on Government Payments and off-farm income to reduce income risk and increase total household income. Studies have shown that, as the income effect dominates, Government Payments tend to reduce off-farm labor of farm operators and spouses. But that may not be true if one accounts for fringe benefits associated with off-farm employment. Additionally, with looming budget deficits and the possibility of a reduction in decoupled Government Payments, farm families may be facing an altered economic environment. Our study addresses this issue by examining the links between Government farm program Payments and the ever-important role of fringe benefits in the off-farm employment of farm couples. Results from farm-level data actually show that the marginal effect of Government Payments on hours worked off-farm will decrease in magnitude when accounting for fringe benefits, ceteris paribus. These results support the notion that farm households’ welfare loss stemming from reduced decoupled Payments may be overstated when models exclude fringe benefits from the estimation of off-farm labor supply.

feast or flee Government Payments and labor migration from u s agriculture
Journal of Policy Modeling, 2012Co-Authors: Jeremy M Dantoni, Ashok K Mishra, Andrew P BarkleyAbstract:Abstract Government Payments have been a part of agriculture since 1933 and at no time has the Government stated a policy objective of decreasing the agricultural labor force. The reality of the matter may be considerably different. Using time series data and new econometric techniques, this study finds agricultural policy may have an unintended impact on labor migration. Specifically, we find that Government Payments increased labor migration from the farm. From 1939 to 2007, increased direct Government Payments resulted in greater migration of labor from agriculture. Government policy appears to have shown limited success at sustaining the agricultural labor force.

do Government Payments influence farm size and survival
Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2007Co-Authors: Nigel Key, Michael J. RobertsAbstract:Using farm-level data from the 1987, 1992, and 1997 Census of Agriculture, this study estimates what effect agricultural Payments have had on the likelihood of farm business survival and on farm size. The unique panel data set permits conditioning current farm size on past farm size, which removes much of the individual heterogeneity of farms that could be spuriously correlated with payment levels. Results indicate that between consecutive censuses, past per acre Payments have a significant positive effect on farm business survival and a small yet significant influence on the size of continuing farms.

Government Payments and farm business survival
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 2006Co-Authors: Nigel Key, Michael J. RobertsAbstract:Using farm-level panel data from recent U.S. Agricultural Censuses, this study examines how direct Government Payments influence the survival of farm businesses, paying particular attention to the differential effect of Payments across farm-size categories. A Cox proportional hazards model is used to estimate the effect of Government Payments on the instantaneous probability of a farm business failure, controlling for farm and operator characteristics. Results indicate that an increase in Government Payments has a small but statistically significant negative effect on the rate of business failure, and the magnitude of this effect increases with farm size.

Government Payments and farmland concentration
2006 Annual meeting July 23-26 Long Beach CA, 2006Co-Authors: Michael J. Roberts, Nigel KeyAbstract:Over the last twenty five years commodity crop farms have steadily declined in number and grown in average size, and production has shifted to larger operations. During the same period, the share of agricultural Payments going to large farms has increased, in large part because Payments are tied to actual or historical crop production. This study evaluates whether Payments from federal farm programs may have contributed to the concentration of farmland. Using zip code-level data constructed from the micro files of the 1987-2002 Agriculture Censuses the study estimates the association between Government Payments per acre and subsequent growth in weighted median farmland area. A semi-parametric generalized additive model controls for location and initial concentration levels, and narrows comparisons to nearby zip codes with similar average farm sizes. Findings indicate, both with and without spatial controls, that Government Payments are strongly associated with subsequent concentration growth.

do Government Payments influence farm business survival
2005 Annual meeting July 24-27 Providence RI, 2005Co-Authors: Nigel Key, Michael J. RobertsAbstract:Using a unique farm-level panel data set derived from three U.S. Agricultural Censuses, we estimate a Cox proportional hazard model to examine the effect of direct Government Payments on the survival of farm businesses, paying particular attention to the differential effect of Payments across farm size categories. For identification the study exploits variation in Payments resulting from historical differences in 'base acreage' in otherwise similar farms. We find an increase in Government Payments has a small but statistically significant positive effect on the rate of farm survival, and the magnitude of this effect increases with farm size.

The Incidence of Government Program Payments on Agricultural Land Rents: The Challenges of Identification
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 2003Co-Authors: Michael J. Roberts, Barrett E. Kirwan, Jeffrey HopkinsAbstract:Economic reasoning and some empirical evidence suggest that Government Payments increase rents on agricultural lands to which the Payments are attached (Barnard et al., Floyd, Gardner, Kuchler and Tegene). The degree to which this occurs—the incidence of current expected Government Payments on current rent—is relevant for policy in two ways. First, it provides information about the distribution of payment benefits vis-a-vis landowners and farmers. For example, if payment benefits are intended for farmers rather than landowners, and the incidence is high, a share of the benefits may miss their target.1 Because about 60% of U.S. farmland is owned by nonoperators, there is a real potential for this kind of misallocation (Hopkins, Morehart, and Bohman). Second, the level of incidence may reflect the degree to which Government programs that give rise to these Payments alter production. A high incidence may reflect a low supply response to a Government program, because a small share of the Payments is dissipated via lower output prices (due to greater quantities supplied) and higher prices for input factors besides land (due to greater quantities demanded). A low incidence may reflect a large supply response and a greater appropriation of payment benefits to commodity consumers and suppliers of other input factors, such as machinery and human capital. Thus, reliable
