Abstract: The average income of farm operator families distributed size of farm business receipts gives a misleading indication of the well-being of farm families. For 1970, the distribution of farm taxpayers by basic income classes varied considerably within as well as between farm receipt classes. Thus, the link between size of farm business and family wellbeing should be considered but a myth.
