Extension Service Finds Profits From Efficient Spending In Farms
Surveys in Gage Madison and Thurston counties show greater farm profits come from spending more efficiently rather than cutting costs. In Thurston county the 15 most profitable farms spent $1,211 per farm versus $1,033 for the 15 least profitable, and $5.74 versus $7.07 per crop acre respectively. Apple feeding to hogs is unnecessary as growers store sound fruit for higher winter prices while diseased and wormy apples are dumped, causing oversupply and market loss.
