COSTS, YIELDS, AND PROFITS 135 
The actual cost in money to the farmer 
for just one acre would be something less 
than this because, generally speaking, the 
ploughing, harrowing, cultivating, marketing, 
setting, training, etc., can all be done without 
much, if any, outlay of cash by the farmer. 
Then, if stock is kept, the manure cost 
would be reduced or done away with. Also 
the cost of winter covering can be greatly 
reduced, as it would be but a slight expense 
to raise enough rye, oat, or barley straw for 
this purpose. In fact, the actual cash outlay 
to the farmer would figure out something 
like the following:
