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.
