Abstract

The main objective of this study is to determine farm plans which (a) best fit the capital, labor and managerial resources of beginning farmers in southwest Iowa and (b) control soil erosion. A collateral objective is to compare income from farming and nonfarm employment open to young farmers in this area. Numerous young families may have chosen farming as an occupation based on the relatively high incomes in the immediate postwar years.
