Cost Cutters For the Farmer
Can Mean Profit or Loss
by W T. McAllister
Farm Management Specialist
University of Delaware
Most farmers are feeling
the effects of higher costs of
production with no increase in
puces for their products The
only immediate answer to this
dilemma is to improve farm
management skills.
Here aie some cost cutting
techniques that will help farm
ers meet these demands
PEBTIDIZER PAYS
DIVIDENDS
Put your commercial fertil
izer investment where it will
do the most good. The init
ial application of fertilizer
gives the biggest return per
dollar.
With limited cash, lower
rates of application over more
acres pays better than higher
rates over fewer acres.
When cash is limited, use
fertilizer first on the high val
ue crops. (Look 'for other
places to cut costs before you
cut fertilizer investment.

FARMSTEAD PLANNING
The next major technological
bieakthrough in agncultuie
will probably be centered a
round the farmstead
Although this is the puni
aiy center of farm work, it is
usually poorly designed ano
lacks planning for efficient
operation. An example of this
is a comparison between a well
ai ranged loose housing system
and conventional stall barns
The loose housing reduced
travel 30 percent and time
spent per cow seven percent.
INCENTIVE PAYMENT
FOR FARM HANDS
The way a hired man does
his work affects the profits
made by the farmer How-
ever, the hired man’s earnings
aren’t necessarily related to
the work he does or the profits
of the farm.
Many farmers are consider
ing some type of incentive
payment which would reward
the hired man for better per
formance and at the same
time increase the farmers pro
fits
LOWER TAXES
Pay wages to children fof
work actually performed on
the farm
If the child ib undei 19
or over 19 and noimallj en
rolled in college, he can earn
11600 or more and still be
claimed an exemption if the
farmer contributes one half
of the child’s support
When replacing machinery
or equipment, consider trading
versus outright sale and new
purchase. The latter may
offer favorable depreciation
reductions.
Records of farm expenses
should be complete and care
fully kept throughout the year.
Five dollars of expenses not
recorded means a tax payment
of about ,|1 00, Ask your
county agent about Electronic
Farm Accounts
Complete records should be
kept of all income with special
notes on income from gifts,
inheritance, sale of bonds and
farm loans Revenue agents
consider any deposits as earn
ed income unless there is
evidence to the contrary
INCREASING DEDUCTIONS
Every ifarm business has
certain expenditures which,
classify as “operating” expens-
es under tax laws yet actually
have benefits extending for
more than a single year
These expenditures should
be planned for high income
years They include repairs to
buildings, such as partial roof
ing and painting; minor over
hauls on machinery, purchase
of small tools, new tires, etc.
