This paper looks at the farm incomes issues at a disaggreated level.  It showes that there can be more variability of farm profitability within a specific sales class, than there is between sales classes.  While farm income in the aggregate has not been increasing, there are farm operations that are increasing their profitability, and size is not the only means to profitability.  Farm management skills seem to be an underlying necessity for achieving farm level profitability.
