- AGRICOLA AGE 85926146, Extract: The study examines evaluations of recent life experience in farming and expectations for life quality in the future as a function of farm structural characteristics and selected individual attributes. Based on a random sample of farm operators, the two sets of variables are used to predict subjective well-being within farm size categories. The results show that individual characteristics tended to be more important determinants of well- being than were farm structure dimensions. farm size and income measures had minor effects on self-ratings of well-being. Under controls, off-farm work status was not related to well-being. The determinants of well-being were particularly difficult to specify among large-farm operators.
