      abstract = {An economically viable farm is defined as having the  capacity to remunerate family labour at
the average  agricultural wage, together with a return of 5 per cent on  non-land assets. There
is however significant spatial  heterogeneity among farms. In this paper we examine  farm
viability using a classification concept (Frawley and  Commins, 1996). A spatial
microsimulation approach is used  to add a spatial component to a farm micro dataset.  This
dataset is then linked to a spatial micro dataset of  households which allows for farm and nonfarm
analyses  within the same analysis. This dataset enables us to  analyse the characteristics
of the areas within which  viable farms exist in addition to the farms themselves.},
