| Abstract | The socioeconomic characteristics of a generalizable sample of recently displaced farm households in North Dakota were compared with characteristics of a random sample of farmers who were still operating their enterprises in 1985. Data were collected in 1986 by phone and mail surveys from 162 displaced and 752 active farmers. The farm characteristics of displaced operators mirrored those of the general farming community. No marked differences were found in the proportion of acres owned, rented, or leased to others between former and current farmers. Moderate sized farms--gross farm incomes between $40,000 and $100,000--were most common and represented the largest category of displaced farmers. Off-farm income was the only structural characteristic analyzed which differed markedly between former and current farms. Current farmers worked nearly twice as many years off the farm on average compared with former farmers, 8.4 and 4.8 years respectively. Analysis of personal characteristics showed displaced farmers significantly younger, more educated, newer to the county, and with larger families than current operators. Discriminant analysis showed that the personal characteristics of farm operators explained less than 10% of the variance. Findings of the study indicated that insight into farm structure or operator's traits offers little benefit toward understanding displaced farmers. (JHZ) |
