Technology adoption and off-farm household income. Fernandez-Cornejo, J., Hendricks, C., & Mishra, A. Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 37(3):549-564, Southern Agricultural Economics Association, 2005.
abstract   bibtex   
We model the interaction of off-farm work and adoption of agricultural technologies and the impact of adopting these technologies on farm household income (from on farm and off-farm sources) after controlling for such interaction, and estimate the model for the case of adoption of herbicide-tolerant (HT) soyabeans using a nationwide survey of soyabean farms for 2000. We find that adoption of HT soyabeans significantly increases off-farm household income for U.S. soyabean farmers, after controlling for other factors. In addition, while on-farm household income is not significantly affected by adoption, total household income does increase significantly.
