Abstract:
MOTAD is used to develop risk efficient farm plans for an irrigated farm in Eastern Wyoming. Compared to a cash-crop system, a crop-livestock system yields higher income and less income variability. Area producers specified a representative farm plan which assumes an intermediate risk-income position, reflecting risk aversion.
