Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the use of horse and tractor power on farms in central Illinois in the years following World War I. The author himself was part of a multi-year study of farms in the area, looking in detail at their operating costs and the demands placed on their horses and tractors.… He begins by outlining the relative importance of different expense categories in operating a farm, noting that horse labor costs were a significant portion of the total. He goes on to consider the various costs associated with keeping a horse, the ways in which horse labor was measured for the purposes of the study, and the variations in efficiency that were observed between different farms. The author then discusses ways in which horse labor costs could be reduced, covering practices such as raising colts for sale or replacement, reducing depreciation charges, and improving feeding practices. He also discusses how to achieve a more even distribution of horse labor throughout the year, considering factors such as crop rotation, livestock production, and farm organization. The book concludes by emphasizing the importance of efficient horse labor management in maximizing farm profitability. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
