Abstract
This study hopes to provide sound, well-documented information on what current economic and farm trends mean for the survival of the small family farm. In addition, this research addresses some of the issues at the center of the dialogue on farm structure. By so doing, this study may contribute some helpful answers to these important farm structure questions.
