Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agricultural Economics Research, Vol. 9: October 1957 Let us suppose that you, an economist, have analyzed your material, know what you want to say, and are ready to begin your final report. The thing to do first is to decide on your audience. Are you writing the report for professional agri cultural workers? For farmers? Or for whom? This decision will affect all phases of your writing. If the report is intended for professional workers, you can include theory, formulas, involved tables, footnotes, and so on. But if you expect farmers to read your report, it must be written simply with a minimum of theory, methods, and statistics included. Let us suppose that you are writing a more or less technical report. A good way to begin is to make an outline, listing all your main heads and your subheads. The outline may be subject to change as you go along, but you will find it a big help. The organization of your finished report will take some thought. Here is a suggested plan of organization. First, a preface or foreword that will contain acknowledgments; the contents; a brief readable summary (this is always written last); a few pages of introduction setting forth the problem and its background, and telling why and how the study upon which the report is based was made and for whom it is intended; the main points brought out in the study, followed by minor points, all with suitable headings. Your long technical descriptions of procedures and any tables that contain background statistics belong in an appendix.
