Farm Returns Proportional To Investment Across Sizes
A 1500 acre wheat farm yields about the same return on investment as a 12000 acre operation, roughly five percent after taxes, according to August Farm Index from the Economic Research Service. The study, based on interviews with 80 large scale farmers, notes few differences in rate of return when not counting purchase discounts, sales premiums, or land appreciation. Some advantages for larger operations are mentioned.

Study Finds Larger Farms Slightly Higher Profits In 1973
The Garden City Telegram reports a study showing larger wheat farms earned modestly higher profits due to input discounts and premium grain sales, though gains rarely topped seven percent equity. Land value gains boosted returns across sizes, with larger farms benefiting slightly more. Eighty farms were surveyed, sixteen incorporated, and about two thirds had non farming investments linked to farming. Production techniques varied little by size, but larger farms used more per acre inputs and relied on custom harvesting.
