Their correct use and co-ordination with cash cropping is essential in securing maximum net returns. To illustrate this point, the following details of costs and returns from many farms have been adjusted to a 400 acre basis. Details of three farms on medium to good land are given. Changes in the management are suggested by which the returns from any one of these would, in the course of time, be equal to those of any other.... [Show full abstract]
