A FIVE-YEAR FARM MANAGEMENT SURVEY IN OHIO. 53 



whatever quality of crops a farmer produces, so long as most of 

 them are marketed through his live stock, it is more important to 

 get good returns per animal per unit than to get higher crop yields 

 per acre. This is not intended to minimize the importance of obtain- 

 ing good crop yields, but to emphasize the importance of having a 

 good quality of live stock. 



The group of farms that had both poor crops and poor stock 

 had an average labor income of $4 per year. The group with no 

 better stock but with good crops had an average labor income of 

 $134, while the group with no better crops but with good stock had 

 an average labor income of $216. 



The group of farms with medium crop yields and medium stock 

 had an average labor income of $108. The group with no better stock 

 but with good crop yields had an average labor income of $212, 

 while the group with no better crops but with good stock had an 

 average labor income of $302. 



The farms with both good crops and good stock had the highest 

 average labor income — $397.
