Measures OF Farm Efficiency

There are certain factors on which
the success of a farm business usually
depends From these it is usually
possible 10 determine not only the
good points in system OF farming
but also lis deficiencies. The latter
being known, the method OF improv-
ing the system becomes evident.
On great majority of farms. sue

important factors. These are % the
size of the farm business; (2b the
yields Of the crops and the returns
