Abstract: Wealth affects the economic well-being of the farm households by enabling farm households to secure credit, facilitate intergenerational transfer, and provide for smoothing consumption expenditures in times of income shortfall. This paper examines the factors that are likely to influence wealth accumulation by farm households. Specifically, we use 2001 ARMS data and multivariate regression procedure to estimate two models; one for those farm households whose wealth originates primarily from the farm and another for households with both farm- and nonfarm wealth.
