CHAPTER III 

 FARM ORGANIZATION 



IN the last chapter were discussed the 

 most common methods by which a young 

 man acquires an opportunity to engage in 

 farming. This chapter will discuss some 

 less common arrangements by which may be 

 bridged that period between the time the 

 son is ready to go into the business and the 

 time he may assume the complete control 

 of the ancestral or other farm. It will also 

 suggest a method for the continuous business 

 management of a farm enterprise. 



As stated, the most common reason for a 

 farm changing from one family to another 

 is the fact that no heir is willing to assume 

 the obligation which is involved in paying 

 for the interest of the other heirs. Con- 

 nected with this problem is the further fact 

 that the father is not usually ready to give 

 up the management of the farm at the time 

 one of his sons reaches the age to go into 

 active business.
