      abstract = {Using data from new farm surveys, the authors constructed  a  viability ratio to measure a family’s ability to meet  its obligations  from total income.  Coupled with other  farm characteristics, the  ratio can give policymakers a  means of seeing why some farms  are viable and others are  not.  The analysis is based on a survey  of 1,616 farm  families in Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Tennessee.},
