Efficiency in farm management boosts Illinois farmers profits
Analysis of over a thousand Illinois farm accounts shows that the most efficient managers earn 2,000 to 3,000 dollars more per year than the least efficient in the same group. Five-year study of three Coles County farms discloses returns of 4 to 8 percent on investments around 43,000 dollars, with solvency and decent living standards intact. The study stresses a balanced plan of production and marketing, crop yields, livestock handling, labor efficiency, power use, crop mix, and cash expense control as keys to sustained success.
