Abstract
This paper analyses the interplay between farm adjustments on individual farms in dualistic farm
structures over time using an agent-based simulation approach. In particular, explore the development
of individual farms when there are off-farm work opportunities and different propensities of
younger farm successors to take over the farm. Results show that despite of large numbers of individual
farms leaving agriculture, the impacts on land use, production, and income are independent on
different propensities to take over a farm.
