A farm business should be large enough to cover operating costs interest and family living expenses. A southern New England dairy farm should have at least 18 cows per man plus 1500 layers for a poultry farm and 10 acres for a market garden. Increasing production per unit lowers costs and boosts profits. If land is scarce rent or improve crop production with lime fertilizer cover crops high yielding varieties double cropping drainage and terracing. Modern equipment boosts output per hour and reduces overhead per unit.
