After the Farm. The Experience of Farmers in Southwestern Wisconsin.
Bentley, Susan; Saupe, William
Rural Development Perspectives, v6 n2 p7-11 Feb-May 1990
Of southwest Wisconsin farmers who quit farming, 1982-86, 40 percent cited financial reasons, but 60 percent cited health problems, age, or other job opportunities. Most voluntary retirees remained in their homes and were financially secure. Involuntary leavers often improved their incomes, but many relocated and still had farm debts. (Author/SV)
