No 396347, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: The investigation reported in this bulletin had for its purpose the determination of cost of production in detail, and the relation of that cost to the product and income therefrom. The object has been to show the exact status of the dairy industry and the cost of dairy products to the producer, endeavoring to deduce therefrom the economic principles that govern the industry. The bulletin presents actual conditions during specified years. The purpose was to determine the cost of production as represented by 3 different phases of agricultural development, (1) at Halstad, Minn., where grain growing is the prominent feature, (2) at Marshall, where agriculture is in the transition stage from grain growing to livestock production, and (3) at Northfield, where dairying is the most important industry.
