Abstract
The main forces which prevent farmers from making more efficient managerial decisions are risk and uncertainty. Farming is carried on in a choice framework wherein investment commitments must be made at one point in time, with production and revenue forthcoming later. The magnitude of yields, and the price at which products will be sold, can only be established at the time investments are made.
