Abstract: Considering that federal income tax payments represent a "leakage" from the local economy, a cash accounting approach estimated locally-retained after-tax net income to be considerably high for small labor-intensive farms than for large capital-intensive farms in the Columbia Basin Project. Use of an inappropriate standard economic accounting approach was shown to dramatically underestimate the potential contribution of small, lower-income farms to regional income.
