In addition to the products sold, considerable quantities of farm 
products were consumed on the farm, as given in Table 12. The 
value of these averaged about the same in all of the important groups, 
running usually just under $100 worth of crops and S200 worth of 
livestock and livestock products per farm. 
Wheat, potatoes, and timothy hay were the most important indi- 
vidual crops sold, except in the mushroom groups. Clover hay and 
corn were also important items on the crop farms. Potatoes and 
vegetables were the important crops used by the farm family in all 
groups. 
'- No study was made of tenure relations in this analysis. The receipts, expenses, and earnings for all 
farms are therefore shown as if they had all been operated by owners. That is, the monetary figures shown 
in subsequent tables include for rented farms both the tenants' and the landlords' shares in the business 
given together.
