Abstract
This study is based upon data from three sources: The first section of this study, dealing with historic adjustments in acres per farm, is drawn from the various federal census reports for Iowa. The second section outlines the logical models which underlie the empirical sections which follow. The third section, dealing with budget cost estimates. is based on information from engineering and farm management research. The fourth section, involving estimates of production and cost functions, is derived from random samples of farms in the years 1948 and 1951. The fifth section, based only on the 1948 sample survey, is an analysis of subjective estimates of farmers in relating farm size to risk or uncertainty.
