An Empirical Analysis of Dairy Farm Reinvestment Versus Tax-Deferred Plans for Retirement Income

Loren W. Tauer

Journal of the Northeastern Agricultural Economics Council, 1984, vol. 13, issue 01, 6

Abstract: This study empirically compares the retirement values of dairy farm investments to tax-deferred retirement investments that are funded with bank certificates of deposit or common stock. For a successful dairy farm, the results indicate that tax-deferred retirement plans that generate rates of return similar to certificates of deposit or common stock mutual funds are probably not as good an investment as reinvesting farm earnings back into the farm business.
