Employment Decisions of Farm Couples: Full-Time or Part-Time Farming?

Wozniak, Patricia J.; Scholl, Kathleen K.

Home Economics Research Journal, v17 n1 p20-35 Sep 1988

The employment of one farm spouse is positively related to the off-farm employment of the other spouse. Wives' off-farm employment is most closely related to their personal characteristics, whereas husbands' decisions are best predicted by a combination of farm, family, and personal characteristics.
