dc.descriptionThis paper examined the relationship between overall inefficiency and farm characteristics such as farm size, years of farm experience, percent of time devoted to farming, educational level, record keeping system, percent acres owned, organizational structure, and farm type. Overall inefficiency was significantly related to farm size, years of farm experience, percent of time devoted to farming, and percent acres owned. Farms in the top quartile in terms of overall inefficiency had lower levels of inefficiency, were larger, had less experience, devoted more of their time to farming, and owned relatively fewer acres.
