farm income and poor had negatively significant determinant on the household decision to migrate.
Findings from income function econometric model identified that the household members migration
dummy had negatively significant on farm income while controlling extension services, total land
holding and poor dummy variables. Finding revealed that the farm income decreased by 358% among
migrated households as compared to non-migrant households. Findings of this research suggests
