Abstract: This study examines the relationship between agricultural profits and farm household wealth across locations and farm sizes in U.S. agriculture. Farmland has out-performed nonfarm investments over the past decade. Thus, households may want to keep their farmland to build wealth, even if it requires them to earn off-farm income.
