Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the business of farming and offers insights based on surveys conducted in the Oxford County region. The author, a director at the Ontario Agricultural College, presents findings based on data collected from over 437 dairy farms. With a focus on the dairy farming business in Western Ontario, the book reveals that for maximum profit, farms of certain sizes require greater managerial ability than others. It also emphasizes the importance of crop yields per acre, showing that as yields increase, labor income advances steadily. However, the author highlights that quality of livestock is the greatest single factor in determining profit or loss. The book advocates for the use of purebred sires over grade sires, demonstrating that the former can significantly improve milk production. Furthermore, it explores the benefits of all-year dairying, finding that farmers who receive a higher percentage of their income from dairy products tend to earn higher labor incomes. The author also discusses the concept of specialization, examining the optimal degree of specialization for dairy farmers. The key insights presented in this book aim to guide dairy farmers in making informed decisions to improve their profitability. By understanding the factors that influence farm income, farmers can optimize their operations and maximize their earnings.
