This paper examines Korean rice farmers' risk attitudes, obtained by responses to sources of risk, using an attitudinal scale approach. Economic, social, personal, and environmental sources of risk are considered in the measurement of risk attitudes. Inferences are drawn from the results of a survey mailed to 1,000 rice farmers, selected in cooperation with the Korea Rural Economic Institute. The results show that (i) rice farmers are more likely to manage risks associated with the timing of farming practices, the amount of fertilizer, drainage management and flooding controls, and pest and weed controls; (2) rice farmers who are younger, more educated, and resident in paddy fields and who have more income and larger size of farming land are more aggressive than other rice farmers in managing their exposure to risk.
