Farm Profits and Cheap Labor in Large Versus Small Farms
The National Agricultural Department data show that larger farms with costly machinery can lower labor per acre, but profits often favor moderate-sized farms due to other factors. Threshing is shifting to machinery, especially horse power, with steam thrashers common outside South Carolina. California records the lowest threshing cost at about 5.8 cents per bushel, while South Carolina reaches 19.2 cents. Pennsylvania and Maryland hover around 7.0 and 6.8 cents respectively. New Jersey about 10.5. Co-operation among farmers and community machines also reduces costs, though weather and access to large barns affect practicality.
