Descripción
Cow-calf enterprises in the Northeastern United States are generally small and often the
only agricultural enterprise of families with large off-farm incomes . In this paper, the
economic viability of cow-calf enterprises to these investors is considered using a
representative farm/economic engineering approach. Investments in farm real estate that
is characterized by limited capability soil resources are found to yield negative labor and
management incomes but to be economically viable when change in net worth and
present value of family after-tax income are considered.
