No Money In Average Crops Profit From Higher Yields
An 1890s agricultural note argues against focusing on average crops. It shows profit rises faster than yield when crops exceed average, citing examples where an eight dollar acre cost yields 13 bushels and price drops to 57 cents per bushel. As yields climb to 20 bushels, profit per acre soars, while higher costs for soil prep and fertilizers may be offset by the value of the larger yield. It concludes that while doubling average yield may raise costs, the excess yield yields significant profit, and much of the larger harvest can be used for seed at $2 per bushel, with profits accruing later than the yield.
