Marketing one part of farm problem
The article quotes R H Rogers, assistant agricultural economist at State College, arguing that marketing is only one part of the farm problem. He says economical production remains key, with high yields per acre and low costs achieved through proper seed-bed prep, fertilization, crop rotation, timely planting and harvesting, pest control, and good management. livestock yields rely on breeding stock, balanced rations, and sanitary practices. Operating costs stay low when farms organize year round labor and diversify income, using adequate machinery and well-drained, terraced fields. quality produce and market-demanded products also matter.
