Abstract: This paper proposes a framework for measuring agricultural value added and explores variations in value added creation among farm types. Results show that crop farms usually generate more value added per dollar of farm income than livestock operations. Grain farms had ratios of value added to farm income almost as great as farms specializing in higher priced commodities.
