Book Description
This book explores how the recent restructuring of farming and industry has affected economic and social equality in the United States. The author explains how the farm sector has undergone a dramatic restructuring with profound effects. Moderate-size family farms, the mainstay of American agriculture, have declined during the postwar period and are now under severe financial stress. Large-scale industrialized farms -- "the factories in the field," often run by corporations -- continue to expand their share of agricultural sales while small farms operated on a part-time basis appear to be replacing traditional family farming. Lobao shows that public concern about farm restructuring is indeed warranted and that the nation now appears to be losing its most beneficial farms as well as industries. While local and regional social and economic forces and state policy can be brought to bear on these trends, Lobao particulary focuses on how community empowerment and broad-based political coalitions offer the most promise for fundamental change.

Book Description
The income from off-farm activity helps farm households to smooth their consumption, to undertake investment on their farm to boost farm production and to diversify their livelihood. This book tried to investigate the effect of off farm income on farm production and the determinants of off farm activity participation of rural households. The study mainly employed Tobit and Logit model to investigate the issue. Accordingly, the analysis revealed the positive effect of off farm income on farm production. Moreover, the determinants of off farm activity participation were also identified. Sustainable rural development is the focus of government policy in developing countries. Thus, the output of the study is expected to be used as a reference among researchers, stakeholders and policy makers to bring sustainable rural development.

The Impact of Coupled and Decoupled Government Subsidies on Off-Farm Labor Participation of U.S. Farm Operators

Book Description
With the 1996 Farm Act, the United States introduced payments that were designed to be “decoupled.” Labor allocation choices are likely to be affected by receipt of payments, and income from off-farm jobs has been the major source of income for most farm households for sometime. This article examines whether the 1996 change has affected the off-farm labor participation of farm households. We conclude that the observed increase in off-farm participation of farm operators who received payments was not the result of the 1996 policy change. Government payments, whether coupled or decoupled, have a negative effect on off-farm labor participation.
