This book was released on 2018-11-28 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Economic Study of Small Farms Near Washington, D. C Land values are high for farming purposes. In most instances 5 per cent of this value exceeds the renting value of the farms. The landlords of the rented farms realized an average of only 2. 9 per cent on investment. Twenty to thirty per cent of the crop area is double cropped. Labor incomes are materially increased by double-cropping, since thus the same equipment handles more acres of crops than in single cropping and the production per acre is increased. Double-cropping is equivalent to increasing the average of cropped land. Intensive farming 1s necessary for success on small farms. The farm produce is disposed of by hauling it to the city and sell ing it either at the public market stands (wholesale or retail) or through commission-men.

This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Economic Study of Dairy Farming in Grafton County, New Hampshire, 1930 Very few business records of farms have been obtained in New Hampshire in recent years. An early survey was made in 1909 by the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station and the Office of Farm Management of the Bureau of Plant Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture.1 Two hundred and sixty-six rec ords of farms were obtained in four townships in Hillsboro County, and the area was resurveyed and reported on ten years later. A some what more extensive survey was conducted by the same departments in 1911 and comprised the financial results of 428 farms.2 Two areas were involved in this latter study, one in the Suncook valley in Bel knap and Merrimack Counties and one in Grafton County along the Connecticut River in a part of the same area covered by the present work. The average labor incomes in the two surveys were $337 and $266, respectively. The few more recent business surveys that have been made have usually included small groups of farms and have been used principally for demonstration purposes in the communities where taken. For ex ample, such a survey was made by the Station in 1915, embracing two areas and some 160 farms in Cheshire and Sullivan Counties in the southwestern part of the State.3 A similar study was made in the same year by the Office of Farm Management at Washington.4 This study was purposely confined to the same area in Grafton County that had been covered in 1911. The average labor income in Cheshire and Sul livan Counties for 146 farms amounted to $230. The average labor in come in Grafton County for 74 farms was $248.

Book Synopsis The Farmer's Standard of Living by : Ellis Lore Kirkpatrick
Download or read book The Farmer's Standard of Living written by Ellis Lore Kirkpatrick and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Farmer's Standard of Living: A Socio-Economic Study of 2, 886 White Farm Families of Selected Localities in 11 States Comparisons of these studies and those made later among groups of somewhat higher incomes led to the broad generalization that, as the income increases, the percentage or the proportion of the income devoted to the satisfaction of cultural wants increases and that the proportion of the total expenditures spent for cultural purposes or advancement may be regarded as an index of the standard of living. A variation of the amount of money spent, that is, of the value of goods used annually, by the families of the present study is the pro portion of the total value of family living furnished by the farm. This is given some consideration as a measure of the standard of living. Usually from one-third to one-half of the value of the farm family's living represents food products, use of the house, and fuel furnished from the farm. This part of the family living is not to be had free of cost to the farmer, however. It represents labor (paid and unpaid), capital, and sometimes credit, if not a small outlay of cash for storage purposes or for preparation of the goods Which are furnished.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Little Farm This is less a handbook in scientific agriculture than a headbook in profitable farming, but it is for both, and for the cultivation of character as essential to cropping. The profit is no longer possible without the science, but the science must either show the profit or remain under suspicion. The expert, working at the Government's ex pense, can do anything with a plot of half a rood, so long as he is not asked to balance the product against the cost, but the practical farmer wants to see the net profit on a working scale, and he is right, because the final measure of science in all industrial application is the economic value. No other standard can be safely admitted into industrial practice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Large and Small Farms, and Their Influence on the Social Economy: Including a View of the Progress of the Division of the Soil in France Since 1815 Such an Opinion was not long in being propagated by the celebrated school formed in France under the auspices of Dr Quesnay, and which counted in its ranks so many original and able thinkers. According to the theory of this school, the earth alone has the power of remunerating the efforts of man. Owing to its own inherent fecundity, and to the entirely gratui tous action of the natural agents, which aid the de velopment of its powers, it alone reproduces an amount of value exceeding what is consumed by those through whose labour the returns are obtained. So fine an attribute belongs neither to manufactures nor trade, that merely develop or transform the substances drawn from the soil, without possessing any creative power, so that the wealth of communities solely de pends on the amount of the net proceeds which they draw from their agricultural labours.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Value of a Small Plot of Ground to the Laboring Man: A Study of the Food Raised by Operatives in Southern Cotton-Mill Towns A large acreage of land in the United States can be used for agri cultural purposes which is not generally classed as farm land. This area includes the numberless backyards and small holdings Of less than 3 acres within and close by cities and villages. Much of this land already is being used for raising food for home consumption, but more is lying idle. The importance of utilizing this. Land is obvious. The family raising its food gets it at cost, which, as will be Shown later, represents only actual cash expenditures.

Download or read book Small-Farm Issues written by United States Department Of Agriculture and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Small-Farm Issues: Proceedings of the Escs Small-Farm Workshop, May 1978 There is substantial and growing public interest in the problems of small-scale farm Operators and their families. The u.s. Department of Agriculture (usda) and the Economics, Statistics, and Cooperatives Service (escs) of usda are committed to serving that interest through research and information programs. The public interest in small farms derives from several perspectives and diverse groups. Some are concerned about the future structure of the farming sector. Their feelings might be summarized in this way: The system works to the disadvantage of small-scale producers. Our farming sector is gravitating toward fewer and larger farms. This trend is not in the best longrun interest of the country. Some are concerned about the well-being of families who live on small farms and depend primarily on farming for family income. Black and other minority farm operators are especially dependent on small farms for family income. Some are concerned about the quality of our food supply and environment. They feel small-scale farming, using organic garden ing techniques, for example, can produce more healthful and better flavored food and, at the same time, be more energy efficient with less risk to the environment. Some feel small-scale farming is a valuable lifestyle. This view is typified by those urban dwellers who have left large cities and migrated to States such as west Virginia and Arkansas and purchased small farms to enjoy a life of subsistence farming and perhaps crafts or other cottage industry.

Download or read book Surplus written by Alan R. Bird and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Surplus: The Riddle of American Agriculture On any public issue, the economist's viewpoint is, of course, only one of many. On the issue of the food surplus, his viewpoint is urgently sought. Even among agricultural economists, however, views on the problem differ, and these several views are almost useless unless the layman knows them. The layman needs supporting reasons for the views he seeks to consider. Our role is to interpret. We have tried to arrange the interpretation to help the reader focus more sharply on the many facets of the food surplus problem. You may not be an economist, but you may have your own ideas on how the farm program should be handled. We seek to help you spell out these ideas and to look at other ideas held no less firmly by other people. American farmers have worked themselves out of their markets. They have taken advantage of new technologiesand buoyant food prices. The result is more wheat, corn, cotton and other farm goods than they can sell and give away. The balance of grain and. Cotton, in particular, is bought and stored by the Federal Government. Helped by tax revenue, the Government has been guaranteeing prices of cotton, wheat and other so-called basic commodities. You might say: Fine. The farmer has to contend with the weather. And he typically lacks monopoly powers over prices. Why shouldn't he be able to expect fair prices for his products?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farm Management in the Ozark Region of Missouri: A Study of the Organization and Operation of a Number of Representative Farms The Operation of a general farm with much less than 40 acres of land for crops is exceedingly unsatisfactory, regardless of the location of the farm, whether among the valleys or among the hills. Size of business Is an important factor In farming throughout this area, but it is also true that the limit to the number of acres of crops which can be profitably included In one farm by the average operator Is reached more quickly with farms of rough and stony character than in the case of farms with land more easily cultivated, and perhaps this limit has been reached by some of the larger hill farms. The hand work involved In making a profit in farming on the poorer of the lands in this region is not generally recognized. Much of the land throughout the area changes hands often, and many of those who purchase such farms, especially those who try to Operate small farms with limited capital, must face a most difficult economic problem.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Research for Small Farms: Proceedings of the Special Symposium; Invited Papers Presented at a Symposium Held November 15-18, 1981, at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, Beltsville, Maryland 20705 Small farms research was first identified as a separate budget initiative in the ars budget for fiscal year 1979. The Agency position had been that its research was not size specific, but there was growing concern that large farms were more likely to benefit from our research. As more people sought out a rural way of life while continuing urban jobs, the part - time, small - scale farmer reversed the trend toward fewer farms in many localities. Policymakers began to feel that small - scale farmers had specific needs that deserved attention. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-12-06 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Determination of Farming Costs Nor is the question under discussion at the moment the consideration of whether such method, or some modification of it, can be adopted for ordinary farm accounts. The ques tion of farm accounts in practice is a matter of marginal utility. In industry it has been the experience Of factory managers that it is economical to introduce methods Of con trol which, in themselves, appear to add to the cost of pro duction, and many Of those who have made it their business to study the problem of agricultural production are of the opinion that this will be, one day, the experience Of farm managers likewise. There is, however, a degree of exactness, required in cost determinations which may be so troublesome, and so expensive Of time and labour when judged by the general standard of the business organization of the average farm, that it would not be profitable for the ordinary farmer. But' this possibility does not affect the importance Of having, in a number Of cases, an exhaustive and scientific analysis of farming costs, and if this can be done in a number Of typical farms the results will have a value as supplying standards of comparison. In this work the Institute for Research in Agricultural Economics is still at the beginning, and it has not yet reached the stage at which generalizations can be made.
