The Uncertain Growth of Part-Time Farming and Diversification

Hodge, I.

The Uncertain Growth of Part-Time Farming and Diversification - 2001 - Farm Management 11 no. 1 April 2001, 11-25(8) .

Discusses part-time farming with mention of earnings and other sources of income. Suggests that despite many more farmers indicating that they work less than 40 hours per week there is no clear evidence showing significant increase in incomes being earned from diversification and off the farm activities. Considers statistics from the June census and farm structures survey but argues this information has its limitations and there is a need for better data to be collected.
