Why Farm Profits are Less than Factory Profits 



Investigations show farm profits to be considerable less 

 than manufacturing profits, investments being equal. The 

 manufacturer watches his cost of production plans for a 

 minimum waste of time labor materials. He plans for a 

 maximum output and gets it. He sets a price for his pro- 

 duct and gets it. 



The failure of the farm to equal the factory on percentage 

 of profit is not the fault of the farm itself it is the fault of 

 the operating methods employed. Cost of production must 

 be closely watched carefully tended- kept down. You cannot 

 say what your product shall sell for but you can keep the cost 

 of production down. Every penny you cut off the producing 



cost means the same to you as an increase 

 of that amount in the selling price.
