Analyzing Farm Records to Boost Income and Efficiency

Farmers tend to file income tax records without analysis. An annual review of financial and production data helps identify weak points and improve labor, capital use, and returns. Penn State Extension offers a program for farmers with adequate records to compute efficiency factors and locate inefficiencies, via Lancaster contact details.

Mechanization Challenges for Delicate Crops in US Agriculture

Researchers from Michigan State University say crops that cannot be mechanized may vanish from consumer shelves due to cost competition. The Farm Index article cites electronic tomato sorters reducing 15 to 20 hand sorters, a cling-pea harvester needing 3 to 4 workers for 20 former hands, and an asparagus harvester handling six acres per hour versus 400 laborers. It notes tobacco harvesters could halve costs if larger acreages exist. The piece also notes the US as the third largest agricultural importer, after the UK and West Germany.
