Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economics of Sugar-Beet Mechanization in California A reduction in the amount of human labor required to produce a crop usually means lower cost of production. Hence, farmers have sought opportunities of substituting mechanical power for human power, and mechanization has become characteristic of farming in the United States. Mechanization, however, has come very slowly in the produc tion of sugar beets. Harvesting of sugar beets is now largely mechanized in California and is making rapid progress elsewhere, but much labor still is used in thinning the seedling stand and in hoeing. Mechanization of these operations, although it seems eventually assured, is progressing more slowly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
