| Abstract | This study identifies factors that influence primacy between generations in the management structure of U.S.family farms. The paper fills an important gap in the farm succession literature by exploring succession (inmanagement of the farm) as an incremental process. Estimation with cross-sectional data from the USDAERS’Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) and a limited dependent variable model is used toexplain the decision for older generation operators to retain primary farm management duties with a junioroperator serving a secondary role. We identify a number of statistically significant attributes that explainvariation in the elder farmer’s role (primary versus secondary) in management of the farm. Our results suggestthat transferring primary operator status is more influenced by family members’ characteristics and less so byfarm financial and operating characteristics. |
