This study applies a logistic regression model to the data set to investigate factors that contribute to farm exits and estimate exit probabilities for farms with different characteristics. The results show that exit probability initially declines with operator age until it reaches a retired age but increases after the age. The findings also indicate that the probability of farm exit decreased with very smaller farm size, but then increased for farms with medium sized, and again decreased for larger farm size. Farms with a relatively large number of family members are less likely to exit.
