Illinois College of Agriculture researchers analyzed records from about 500 eastern and central Illinois farms in the Farm Bureau Farm Management Service project. They found grain farms yielded higher profits than livestock farms for 1945 47 but reduced soil fertility due to erosion. The 100 most efficient farmers earned about 30 more than the 100 least efficient, and among livestock farms beef cattle and hog operations were more profitable than dairy and poultry.
Farm management specialists explain why higher beef pork and dairy labor costs affect farm profits. Some cooperators with little livestock still gain most earnings from livestock through efficient management. Others should sell livestock and grow grain under better soil management. A field agent reviews three year analyses with each cooperator to pinpoint earning power and efficiency. Milk and dairy products make up about a quarter of annual U.S. food consumption.
