The discussion focuses on helping the researcher who has fairly well-defined research ideas to better visualize the steps that are necessary for collecting farm production data by raising conceptual and organizational issues that will be faced during the collection process. A wide range of data collection strategies is reviewed for both data-intensive studies that concentrate on production and technological issues, as well as less intensive studies that are only interested in measuring the contribution of farming activities to overall household income. Both survey-based and recordkeeping methodologies are discussed and the tradeoffs of each approach are considered. Examples of survey and recordkeeping instruments provide illustrations of both successful and not so successful forms; the merits and weaknesses of the sample forms and associated data collection methods are critiqued. 000007267 650__ $$aConsumer/Household Economics 000007267 650__ $$aResearch Methods/Statistical Methods 000007267 700__ $$aRozelle, Scott 000007267 8564_ $$93b76d266-c58a-4533-b9d2-9f7fed3af469$$s2689130$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/7267/files/wp910017.pdf 000007267 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/7267 000007267 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:7267$$pGLOBAL_SET 000007267 912__ $$nSubmitted by Louise Letnes (lletnes@umn.edu) on 2008-02-27T01:36:38Z No. of bitstreams: 1 wp910017.pdf: 2689130 bytes, checksum: 715f30d41d1276b227ea7caa625d493d (MD5) 000007267 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2008-02-27T01:36:39Z (GMT).
