Farm Size Not Limit
For Income Of Gunner

Size of Ohio farms is not the most
important factor in influencing the
annual farm income of the owners;
at least the rural economics depart
ment at Ohio State University finds
dairy-hog farms of less than 80
acres of more than 220 acres occupy
ing the same farm income level.
Records for SO western Ohio farms
which depended upon dairy products,
dairy cattle, and hogs to produce
more than so per cent of the an
nual farm income were summarized
by the University department in
1888. Farm income on the farms
varied from $195 to $6,658.
Only nine of the farms produced
a farm income of $1,000 or more in
1888. Farm income is the balance
remaining from total receipts after
operating expenses are paid; and
after 4 per cent on money invested
in the farm is subtracted, the re-
mainder is the pay received by the
farmer and his family for their
years work.
A study of the records from these
farms reveals that some of the
minor farm enterprises caused losses
that cancelled all or part of the
gains from dairying and hog raising.
The rural economists at the Uni
versity advise against undertaking
farm enterprises which will be ne
elected after being started.
The theory that some half-tended
crop will help boost the yearly farm
income frequently not only fails to
bring in the expected cash but wipes
out part of the gains from the main
business. This is particularly true
if new equipment must be bought to
produce the crop or if extra labor
must be hired at times of peak
wages.
