Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 2002, vol. 11, issue 2

Abstract: Approximately 17 percent of all farm operators considered themselves retired in 1993. Although the farms of retired operators generate little cash income, they are a major asset for the operators and their households. Renting out acreage and enrolling acreage in the Conservation Reserve Program are widely used by retired farmers to receive income without working their land.
