The same procedure was used to rank the factors for each of the three types of producer
groups. Tables 5, 6, and 7 contain the factor rankings for crop, livestock, and diversified
operations. The top three factors for all farms also rank high for the production specific groups,
but a few differences are revealed in the different groups. The standard deviation of the net cash
farm income has a significant positive correlation to success for crop farms and ranks as the
fourth most important factor. However, the same risk measure is not a significant factor for
livestock or diversified operations.
