| Abstract: | This study investigated the Meta factors at accentuate farm size over a nine-year period (2003 - 2011) using data obtained from final year projects report in Department of Agricultural Economics and Extension Technology, Federal University of Technology Minna. The model was estimated through OLS on functional forms. The result indicated that the variation of farm size was not adequately captured by the model although studied conducted in Zone 1 of Niger State and average farm income were found to give a higher and significant increases in farm size while data year and number of observations used in the base research are found to reduce fam size significantly. Farmers in other zones of Niger State as well as other parts of Nigeria should strive towards larger farm size and move towards commercialization. |
