Purpose of Farm Cost Accounting
The article outlines why farmers should keep complete cost records to determine cost income and profit per enterprise, assess efficiency of labor and machinery, and integrate farm operations into a full system while avoiding intermingling personal and farm finances. It notes farm bookkeeping differs from commercial methods due to the farm being both business and home.
Panama Canal Vision and the Big Economic Picture
The text argues farm cost accounting reveals true profits by including all income and expenses, warns against overvaluing inventories, and stresses conservative valuations. It also reflects on the Panama Canal project, noting the importance of sanitary conditions, adapting to local health realities, and the shift from a lock to sea level canal in light of evolving ship sizes and aerial threats. It emphasizes the need for accurate data to guide profitable farming and the broader engineering lessons from the canal effort.
