This paper explores decision making processes in farm families with off farm working wives in post socialist Hungary based on an interview material with ten farm families. Decision making concerning issues of consumption and production is seen as a key arena for the articulation of gender relations within the farm family. Farm families with the husband being the head of the enterprise and the wife having an off farm wage labour constitute a specific case. Off farm incomes, in Hungary, played a crucial role in the capital accumulation phase of the farms. As previous research indicated, off farm incomes often constitute an integral part of the overall farm strategy. Off farm working wives contribute to the reproduction of the farm enterprise in diverse ways, such as through direct partici...

This study looks at how farm families coped with the 1998 ice storm in Eastern Ontario, in particular stress and health impacts. It is based on a mail survey (N = 171) and follow-up qualitative interviews with households (N = 40). Beyond the severity of the event, finances were identified as a key factor in reported incidence of stress symptoms during the ice storm, related to uncertainties with insurance claims and arrangements with banks. Afterwards, off-farm income was found to moderate ongoing stress. Although the social resources the farm community utilized in coping with the storm and its aftermath were identified as highly important by respondents, these did not act to differentially moderate the stress and health impacts. Instead, the findings suggest farm families addressed the...

The article explores male and female farmers' practices and attitudes towards different aspects of nature and resource use in the context of the Norwegian system of summer farming (seterbruk). This represents a new and unique arena for exploring gender relations, as summer fanning in Norway -in contrast to many other European countries - has been an exclusively female arena. We ask whether men and women practice summer farming differently. We base our analysis on personal interviews with farmers and build upon some of the dimensions found in theories of the 'female principle' as conceptualized within feminism. Our main findings indicate that there are no evidential gender differences in attitudes and practices following the logic of biological sex, when considering nature and resource m...
