This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1921 Excerpt: ...costs continue, whether a tractor is used or not, and together they constitute about 9 per cent of the average total cost of the tractor without an operator, or $44.89 annually per tractor. The costs in the second group depend somewhat on the amount of tractor work done, but are not proportional to it. The chief costs included in this group are depreciation and repairs. This group of costs constituted 51 per cent of the average total cost of the tractor without an operator, or $253.68 per tractor annually. Depreciation is the most important single item of cost, and, while it is somewhat heavier when a tractor is working, it continues whether the machine is working or not. Because of the-newness of the farm tractor, depreciation by obsolescence is probably more rapid than depreciation by wearing out. This group of costs probably would not be decreased as much as one-half if the tractor were idle for the entire year. The third group, costs proportional to work done, includes fuel, oil, and chores. These costs constitute slightly less than 40 per cent of the average total cost of the tractor without an operator, or $194.80 per tractor annually. They cease when work stops. The other tractor costs, more than 60 per cent of the total, do not. It would be foolish for a tractor operator to do custom work unless he got pay for the time of the operator, all costs of the third group, and at least the extra part of the second group due to the extra work done. It would be desirable to get total cost or more, but if more profitable work were not available at home, it might be advisable to do custom work at less than the average total cost. The relation of the amount and kind of custom work done, to the investment in tractor equipment, is shown in table 29. There is littl...

A Revolution Down on the Farm The Transformation of American Agriculture since 1929

<p>At a time when food is becoming increasingly scarce in many parts of the world and food prices are skyrocketing, no industry is more important than agriculture. Humans have been farming for thousands of years, and yet agriculture has undergone more fundamental changes in the past 80 years than in the previous several centuries. In 1900, 30 million American farmers tilled the soil or tended livestock; today there are fewer than 4.5 million farmers who feed a population four times larger than it was at the beginning of the century. Fifty years ago, the planet could not have sustained a population of 6.5 billion; now, commercial and industrial agriculture ensure that millions will not die from starvation. Farmers are able to feed an exponentially growing planet because the greatest industrial revolution in history has occurred in agriculture since 1929, with U.S. farmers leading the way. Productivity on American farms has increased tenfold, even as most small farmers and tenants have been forced to find other work. Today, only 300,000 farms produce approximately ninety percent of the total output, and overproduction, largely subsidized by government programs and policies, has become the hallmark of modern agriculture. A Revolution Down on the Farm: The Transformation of American Agriculture since 1929 charts the profound changes in farming that have occurred during author Paul K. Conkin's lifetime. His personal experiences growing up on a small Tennessee farm complement compelling statistical data as he explores America's vast agricultural transformation and considers its social, political, and economic consequences. He examines the history of American agriculture, showing how New Deal innovations evolved into convoluted commodity programs following World War II. Conkin assesses the skills, new technologies, and government policies that helped transform farming in America and suggests how new legislation might affect farming in decades to come. Although the increased production and mechanization of farming has been an economic success story for Americans, the costs are becoming increasingly apparent. Small farmers are put out of business when they cannot compete with giant, non-diversified corporate farms. Caged chickens and hogs in factory-like facilities or confined dairy cattle require massive amounts of chemicals and hormones ultimately ingested by consumers. Fertilizers, new organic chemicals, manure disposal, and genetically modified seeds have introduced environmental problems that are still being discovered. A Revolution Down on the Farm concludes with an evaluation of farming in the twenty-first century and a distinctive meditation on alternatives to our present large scale, mechanized, subsidized, and fossil fuel and chemically dependent system.</p>
