C T Bailey of Hamiota argues present day farming mirrors a large business with three core factors Land Equipment and Labour. He urges simplifying chores using motors, cutting unprofitable sidelines, increasing per acre and per livestock production, and making labour count by changing production ideas. He also advises using a dim 15w red bulb in hen houses from 4 pm to 6 am to boost yields and ends with a cheeky quip about blaming misfortunes on one's wife.
