Survey Shows that Yield Per Acre In

Cost Per BuslieL
Farmers Sustained Heavy Losses
Trough Decline in (Price Which Set
in Soon After 1920 Crop Began to
Come on the Market—No Profit
In Small Yields.
(Farmers, paste this on card and
hang it on the wall for reference.)
The cost of producing winter wheat
in 1920 showed about as high an aver-
age as in 1919, according to a preli-
minary report on farms survey in
10 counties in the winter wheat belt,
issued by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture. The range in
cost for the bulk of the crop (80 per
cent of production) on 216 owned
farms surveyed in 192fl was found to
be $1.20 to $2.50 per bushel as com-
pared with $1.30 to $2.50 for the bulk
of the crop produced on the 284
farms surveyed in 1919. In 1920 about
46 per cent of the operators held their
costs down to the average (1.80) or
lower; in 1919, with an average cost
of $1,87, 47 per cent of the operators
kept their costs within that limit
Many Farmers Sustain Heavy Losses.
With costs almost as high as those
of the previous year and with a de-
clining market many of these farm-
ers sustained heavy losses on their
wheat. In 8 of the 10 countits sur-
veyed only 10 to 20 per cent of the
wheat was hauled direct from the
machine to the elevator. On that part
of this wheat which was sold immed-
iattly the operators got the benefit of
the prices that prevailed before the
slump, which began soon after the
1920 crop began to come on the mar-
ket.
hTe survey in question, conducted
by the Office of Farm Management
and Farm Economics, yielded figures
on labor and material requirements
that should be of vital interest of
what may be expected under condi-
tions approximating those that prevail
ia the counties surveyed: The ac-
companying summary table shows the
average net cost per bushel and per
acre for tht several counties surveyed
and the distribution of the costs to
j labor, materials, overhead, etc.
The results of the survey serve to
stress the importance of yield per
acre as a factor influencing the ooat
per bushel. It was found that the
operators having costs of $1.20 or un-
der per bushel could boast yields
ranging from IS to 31 bushels per
acre, while those so unfortunate as to
have wheat costing $4 or more per
bushel had yields ranging from as
low 3 up to 7 bushtls per acre.
