The unit of analysis in this study was the principal operator of the farm that provided agritourism services. Human factors such as age, gender, household income before taxes, and ethnicity and educational background of principal operator were perceived to be the most common elements. Production variables such as total acreage deemed unsuitable for crop production, the farm organization, economic situation of the farm and the geographic location of the farm and access to internet were also deemed to be common features. The need to generate additional income was often cited among the goals of operators in adding agritourism to their farm operations. Most operators charged activity-based fees and cited weather and liability issues as the principal challenges to their agritourism enterprises. They had a more positive outlook for their individual agritourism business than they had for the industry as a whole in the state. 000229824 546__ $$aEnglish 000229824 650__ $$aAgribusiness 000229824 6531_ $$aCase Study 000229824 6531_ $$aagritourism 000229824 700__ $$aYeboah, Anthony K. 000229824 700__ $$aOwens, John Paul 000229824 700__ $$aBynum, Jarvetta 000229824 700__ $$aOkafor, Ralph 000229824 773__ $$q1$$o14$$d2016 000229824 8564_ $$90fd0731b-562a-4ac6-8087-84daf9ff8d80$$s641519$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/229824/files/NCAT_Agritourism_YeboahK.pdf 000229824 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/229824 000229824 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:229824$$pGLOBAL_SET 000229824 912__ $$nSubmitted by John Owens (owensj@ncat.edu) on 2016-01-21T17:02:36Z No. of bitstreams: 1 NCAT_Agritourism_YeboahK.pdf: 641519 bytes, checksum: c34544caa6315510bd775ba67d206379 (MD5) 000229824 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2016-01-21T17:02:36Z (GMT).
