The paper finds evidence of prevalent and persistent negative farm profit in both available long-run data (1990-2007) and more recent data (2006-09). Trends in several structural change elements, productivity, farm size and age of operators, are also examined to aid the interpretation of farm economic performance in agri-food. The paper concludes with several contemporary examples of public policy distorting the structure and performance of the farm sector and spoiling the usefulness of profitability as an indicator of sectoral performance. Policies on hobby farming tax benefits, drought, and agribusiness managed investment schemes policy are discussed in this context 000059095 546__ $$aEnglish 000059095 650__ $$aAgribusiness 000059095 700__ $$aLagura, Erwin 000059095 700__ $$aRonan, Glenn 000059095 8564_ $$94310ac95-29ac-491e-b650-0e7fabbd3764$$s433732$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/59095/files/Lagura_Ewin.pdf 000059095 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/59095 000059095 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:59095$$pGLOBAL_SET 000059095 912__ $$nSubmitted by Megan Watmuff (megan@aomevents.com) on 2010-03-10T02:31:02Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Lagura,Ewin.pdf: 433732 bytes, checksum: 75519e80ec1fc98eae62bac6498b6ff3 (MD5) 000059095 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2010-03-10T02:31:03Z (GMT).
