Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Efficiency Studies in Dairy Farming: May, 1933 For the year ending March 31, 1932, the family tabor incomes of 38 farmers in Grafton county varied from a loss of $964 to a gain of $1721. Thirteen farmers had family labor incomes ranging from $711 to $1721, 13 others ranged from $184 to $670, and the 12 lowest ranged from a loss of $964 to a gain of $162. These differences are no greater than those usually found in similar studies in this and in other areas. Two years earlier the results of a farm management survey of 414 farms, reported in New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin 260, showed a range in labor incomes from a loss of $2,679 to a gain of $5.138. Why such differences in net returns? A study of records in 1930 showed that some of the variations in returns are associated with differences in size of business as measured by farm acreage, crop acreage, number of cows, and productive man work units. Some of these are associated with differences in quality as measured by crop yields, pounds of milk sold per cow and grade of milk. Still other variations are associated with labor efficiency as measured by productive man work units per man or are due to some intangible personal factors, and to chance. But underlying most of these factors are more fundamental ones which are more nearly of a causal nature. For example, high production per cow may go back to skillful feeding and care and to a careful and fortunate selection of breeding stock 10 and 20 years earlier. Inefficiency in the use of labor may be due to inconvenient arrangement of buildings and fields, and to a farm and herd too small for the available family labor. This study was started for the purpose of going as far as possible into the causes of variations in farmers´ net returns in order to determine to what extent improvements can be made by individual farmers under their respective conditions.
