ISBN: 9780331871173 - variability of yields and income from major illinois crops, 1927-1953 (classic reprint) (1 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed look at crop yield and income variability in Illinois from 1927 to 1953. The author provides average per-acre yields for five major crops (corn, soybeans, oats, wheat, and hay) and estimates their year-to-year variability in each county and for the state as a whole. The author utilizes this data to aid farmers in making wise decisions related to land valuation, crop insurance, and choice of crops. The author's findings are particularly relevant to areas with stable crop yields, where the proportion of land in each of the three classes of crops (cultivated, small grain, and meadow) is chiefly determined by factors other than reduction of income variability. This book concludes by highlighting the importance of considering yield variability when making agricultural decisions, as it can have significant implications for a farmer's income and the stability of their operation.
