Abstract

Lifetime measures of income are estimated for farm households and contrasted to non-farm households. The mean, variance, and Gini ratio are calculated annually for 1968-83. The distribution measures are shown to be affected by education and percent of the population nonwhite. Macroeconomic variables do not have a strong effect.
