Abstract
Payments made to a sample of 60 North Georgia broiler contract growers were examined for the 1982 to 1986 expansionary phase of the broiler commodity cycle. Income return to assets was calculated by using the payments and uniform labor, operating, and depreciation costs of $743.29 per 92.9 m2/yr.Results show that before-tax income rate of return on assets ranged from 1.76 to 17.65%, with a mean of 8.7%. These results exceed the income rate of return on general production agriculture assets during the expansionary period of the 1970’s. Even when capital gains are included for general production agriculture, grower rates of return are similar to those of production agriculture as a whole in a comparable expansionary period.
