Factors Affecting Returns 



from 

 Potatoes in Massachusetts 



By Ronald L. Mighell 



Information about probable prices and basic costs, both for his own 

 farm and for other farms competing for the same markets, plays a very 

 prominent part in the success of the farmer today. This bulletin shows the 

 cost, in labor and materials, of growing potatoes in four different sections 

 of McLSsachusetts, and suggests how the individual may use such infor- 

 mation in studying his own farm practice.
