Book Description

Excerpt from Operating Costs of a Well-Established New York Apple Orchard It is not primarily the purpose of this bulletin to present data which actually Show the cost of Operating a 'mature orchard, but rather to suggest a plan of cost accounting for orchard Operations. This will be; useful to fruit growers who wish to determine the cost of fruit production. Probably in no branch of farming have greater recent advances been made than in fruit growing. The growing of the apple is one of the most highly specialized branches of agriculture. It is a business which requires scientific knowledge, skill, and the greatest care to make it a success. Many investors have entered the field, and many of the older growers are-realizing profits. Thus spurred on by stories of fabulous returns, millions of trees have been set in the last decade. It is probably safe to say that few know the cost of growing this fruit. It is certain that there is a scarcity of accurate data published on this problem.
