McHenry. was granted a probationary permit. » Why do $10,000 more than others? In a recent interview with D. F. Wilken, farm management specialist. University of Illinois. explained why there was such a wide variation in farm earnings. 1. Wny the big reason for this variation? Most of this $10,000 difference is due to higher crop yields and larger acreages of high cash value crops. On livestock farms, efficiency and volume of livestock production explains more of the difference. 2. How important is livestock? Livestock, returns accounted for $7,000 of the $10,000 difference between the high and low-earning hog farms. The high farms had eighty-one litters compared with forty-eight on the low farms. They also received 22 cents more for each dollar of feed fed to hogs. 3. How many sows should a farm have? Thirty litters of pigs twice a year handled at average efficiency win yield about as much net income as fifteen good dairy cows. This many hogs on an average ^40-acre Corn Belt farm should utilize labor of operators and family normally available. 4. How important is volume? Farms need a gross (total receipts less purchased feed and livestock) of at least $10,- 000 on an owner-operated basis or $15,000 to $20,000 on a tena n t - o p e r a t e d b a s i s . L a r g e amounts of "efficiently managed livestock can give higher net incomes. Also, the same livestock poorly managed can give lower net income. 5. How many cows should a dairyman have? Fifteen milk cows producing at top efficiency can produce as must net income as 30 poorproducing cows. Most dairy farmers can operate a profitable dairy herd with 15 or more good cows (10,000 pounds of milk level). Record keeping analyze their farm records with these three factors in mind should be able to make intelligent decisions in the management of their farms. The net results can be better family living. come as the hogs above. Combining hogs and cattle often allows the farmer to operate with less capital and gives him better labor distribution. It also makes for better utilization of land. 7. How important are labor costs? Labor costs were about the same on the high and low-earning farms. When the labor supply on a farm is short in relation to the supply of land and capital available, the highest net income will depend upon getting a high value of production per man. Feeder cattle, hogs, arid cash crop enterprises operating at average efficiency normally produce more returns per hour of labor than other enterprises. 8. Would you advise every farmer to keep records? The percentage of the gross income spent by Northern Illinois farmers for cash expenses, machinery and building replacements for 1950 to 1953 averaged 45 percent. For the 1954-57 period it averaged 54 percent. The margin for management error is narrowing. Good management returns depends upon good decisions based on facts. Farm records provide the necessary facts. 9. Would careful analysis help farmers? A farmer must first know his farm; second, know himself; and third, know his goals. All farmers who are willing to 600 BOY SCOUTS ARE EXPECTED AT FALL CAMPOREE Over 600 Boy Scouts and their leaders are expected to attend^the fall camporee near Algonqum\the last week end in October, according to an announcement released by Milton Dahm of Crystal Lake, special activities chairman for the Kishwaukee district of the Blackhawk Area Council, Boy Scouts of America.
