Abstract: The return to operator's labour and management in sole proprietorship firms and partnership firms is compared using matching samples to determine if multi-managed firms produce greater returns. Data were obtained from a farm business management program for the years 1998 through 2001. Managers in a parent-child partnership did not generate more returns than a sole proprietorship, but nonparent-child partnerships generated $36442 more labour and management income per manager per year than the sole proprietorship.
