Farm type, managerial ability, and operator age were significantly related to farm growth rates. Farms that grew faster obtained a higher percent of their farm income from crops, had above average managerial ability, and had younger operators.}, url = {http://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/190695}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.22004/ag.econ.190695}, }
