Abstract: Farm investment in value-added agricultural firms continues to grow in the United States. Using farm-level, asset allocation models, value added investments were found to be advantageous for farms with below average earnings or older operators. Farms with superior financial performance benefited from a portfolio allocation that favored farm expansion.
