Controlling Farmland in the Red River Valley: A Stochastic Dominance Analysis of Alternative Means

Cole Gustafson

Review of Agricultural Economics, 1989, vol. 11, issue 2, 243-251

Abstract: A tenant farmer's preference for a cash vs. share rental arrangement is found to be highly conditional on the terms of each arrangement in a whole farm situation analysis of a representative North Dakota Red River Valley farm. Failure of landlords to contribute to the production expenses of share rent tenants, government commodity programs, multi-peril crop insurance and tax provisions favor cash renting. Profitability of alternative land control strategies and methods of financing were evaluated using the criterion of stochastic dominance.
