One of the most important questions regarding the phenomenon of part‐time farming is whether it is a stable situation or just a step in the way out of agriculture.

The results indicate that a high objective probability of exit from farming within the next decade decreased the tendency to engage in off‐farm work, especially in a full‐time job, in 1971.
