A survey of the institution on the farm training program in Leon and Wakulla CountiesUnknown Date (has links)
"A great deal of controversy has developed concerning the Institution on the Farm Training Program aspect of the Servicemens' Re-Adjustment Act. Some have said that it is ineffective and extravagant, others have taken the opposite point of view. The program has been in effect in Leon and Wakulla Counties since 1946, and no attempt has been made to evaluate it. It is felt that there is a need for such an evaluation. This study is an attempt to meet that need by including an evaluation of the over all program as well as of the methods used in teaching and in the supervisory program"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "January, 1955." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Includes bibliographical references (leaf 57).

Determinants of off-farm employment among Oregon farm households : a tobit analysisRauniyar, Krishna K. P. 12 January 1996 (has links)
An investigation was conducted to determine the impact of economic and
non-economic factors on the off-farm work efforts of Oregon farm husbands and
wives. A total of 283 Oregon farm households (with husbands and wives) were
randomly selected from lists of persons deferring taxes for farm purposes, obtained
from County Assessors' offices in each of eight randomly selected counties.
Counties with larger number of farms had a higher probability of being selected.
Data came from an Oregon State University Agricultural Experiment Station study
conducted during 1988-89.
The empirical findings from the maximum likelihood Tobit model showed
plausible directional impacts. Off-farm wage rate, the basis of a reduced labor
supply model, was the key variable in explaining off-farm work. Wives' off-farm work
response to off-farm wage was more elastic when compared to husbands' off-farm
work. Additional significant variables to affect either or both husbands' and wives'
total off-farm work were total farm debt, husband's age, education, urban/rural
location of farm, net farm income, age-square, farm life satisfaction, and total family
income before tax.
Education was positively related to off-farm work only for wives. Results also
indicate that high levels of net farm income as well as farm debt reduce the
likelihood and extent of off-farm work. The location of the farm closer in proximity to
metropolitan areas, was a significant factor in increased off-farm work hours.
Farm life satisfaction was negatively significant for both wives and husbands.
The effect of farm life satisfaction was more prominent for wives than for husbands.
Total family income was significant and negatively related to wives' off-farm work
but not husbands, indicating that women may be more sensitive to a choice for
leisure or household work and the motivation for husbands' off-farm work may be
higher. Despite a substantial incidence of low profitability and low farm income from
farming and some unhappiness and hard work, these farmers generally reported a
high level of satisfaction with their farming operations. Any policy implications based
on the findings of this study must be cautiously interpreted based on farm types and
the work motivation of farmers in Oregon. / Graduation date: 1996

Linking supply and demand: increasing grower participation and customer attendance at local farmers' marketsLillard, Patrick Terrell 15 May 2009 (has links)
Farmers' markets in the United States have experienced a dramatic increase since the 1970's. In the past three decades the number of farmers' markets has increased from 340 in 1970 to 3,617 by 2006. This interest in farmers' markets has not been felt everywhere, though. The purpose of this study was to investigate the supply and demand sides of farmers' markets, farmers and customers, in order to increase both segments at farmers' markets in Bryan and College Station, Texas. Interviews were conducted with farmers within a 100-mile radius of the two towns, to determine characteristics of potential farmers' market vendors and factors influencing market outlet choice. Bryan and College Station residents were surveyed at different market outlets to establish their knowledge of and interest in farmers' markets. The two primary themes found for farmers' reasons for growing were family and enjoyment, with enjoyment an especially important theme among older growers. Factors influencing market outlet choice were farmer status (part-time or full-time) and volume grown, with time, volume and risk being the primary considerations for most of the younger farmers interviewed.
Almost 90% of respondents said they had been to one of the local farmers' markets, but this could be attributed to many of the respondents' misperception of a farmers' market. Farmers' markets will need to increase residents' understandings of what a farmers' market is. The best communication channel to reach residents appears to be the newspaper as 35% of respondents said that is where they get their local news. The primary reason for not attending farmers' markets was inconvenient times. Those that chose inconvenient times as a reason for not attending preferred Saturday afternoons.
