Abstract: Three statistically different labor hour series are compared to determine how they would affect historical measures of various labor related indicators, including the rate of return to equity in farm assets. General trends in labor use and productivity were not significantly altered. However, two statistically different series for the rate of return (an indicator often used to gauge the profitability of farming) were developed.
