Abstract

One in every five farm operators in southwestern Wisconsin left farming in the early 1980's. About 37 percent of farmers who left the sector exited because of financial stress. The majority who exited (63 percent) left voluntarily to retirement or to another occupation. Data from two surveys of the same farm operators in eight Wisconsin counties in 1982 and 1986 were analyzed to determine the demographic and financial characteristics of farm operators who left the sector.
