Book excerpt: Excerpt from Changes in Costs on Spring Wheat Farms in the Northern Plains It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between necessary and actual costs. Some cost items were incurred because farmers had adequate incomes and cost reduction was not as important as convenience, or some other con sideration. This report is based on actual costs as nearly as they could be determined. Several measures of costs were used. Among these are costs per unit of production on an average farm as a whole and costs per bushel of wheat. Both kinds of costs are measured in terms of combinations of prevailing and normal yields and prices. Costs of production on tenant-operated farms are compared with similar costs on owner-operated farms. Because operator and family labor and land normally are residual claimants to gross income, several levels of charges for these services have been used to reflect various assumptions regarding returns to them. Two groups of factors have had opposite effects on changes in costs on spring wheat farms since 1914-0. Continuously rising prices of goods and services used in production and the increasing proportion of these goods and services purchased from nonfarm sources have caused farm costs to rise at an accelerated rate. On the other hand, larger farms and increased efficiency in production through mechanization and other technological improvements have tended to hold down costs. The net effect has been an increase in costs per farm and in costs per unit of production. If allowance is made for the wide fluctuations in yields of crops caused by variations in weather, the increase in cost per unit of production has been less than the increase in prices paid.

This book was released on 1991-02-01 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest is growing in sustainable agriculture, which involves the use of productive and profitable farming practices that take advantage of natural biological processes to conserve resources, reduce inputs, protect the environment, and enhance public health. Continuing research is helping to demonstrate the ways that many factorsâ€"economics, biology, policy, and traditionâ€"interact in sustainable agriculture systems. This book contains the proceedings of a workshop on the findings of a broad range of research projects funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The areas of study, such as integrated pest management, alternative cropping and tillage systems, and comparisons with more conventional approaches, are essential to developing and adopting profitable and sustainable farming systems.

Download or read book Letters from the Dust Bowl written by Caroline Henderson and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-10-19 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 1936 Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace wrote to Caroline Henderson to praise her contributions to American "understanding of some of our farm problems." His comments reflected the national attention aroused by Henderson’s articles, which had been published in Atlantic Monthly since 1931. Even today, Henderson’s articles are frequently cited for her vivid descriptions of the dust storms that ravaged the Plains. Caroline Henderson was a Mount Holyoke graduate who moved to Oklahoma’s panhandle to homestead and teach in 1907. This collection of Henderson’s letters and articles published from 1908 to1966 presents an intimate portrait of a woman’s life in the Great Plains. Her writing mirrors her love of the land and the literature that sustained her as she struggled for survival. Alvin O. Turner has collected and edited Henderson’s published materials together with her private correspondence. Accompanying biographical sketch, chapter introductions, and annotations provide details on Henderson’s life and context for her frequent literary allusions and comments on contemporary issues.
