CHAYANOV- O.MICHAEL

In Chayanov's book, The Theory of Peasant Farming, he does a great job of describing the farms in great detail. He says that the further away and isolated your farm is from an urban community setting that the less profit you would attain. I agree with what Chayanov is saying. It's common sense, in the fact that the less people that are around your farm to purchase your crops the less profit you will gain. I also agreed with his comment about how family was the center of the farm. Generally, each farm is run by a family and even the two prior generations of the family occasionally assist in the work, or are still residing on the farms property. I also agree that Peasant farmers have a closer bond to one another unlike an urban farmer. What I mean by an urban farmer, is someone who is hired to work on a farm closer to an urban town or city. Peasant farms tend to be more of a family based farm system and "urban" farms tend be a mix of different people. So the question i raise is...Are there different types of farms and are the relationships on these farms different than the ones of the Peasants in Russia.
