S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) economists. Thereafter, enlarging the farm does not reduce unit costs of production, the study found. However, the most efficient one-man farm is usually larger, needs more capital, and requires more managerial talent than is found on most one-man farms today in the United States, says the report from USDA’s Economic Research Service (ERS). Expansion to at least the optimum one-man size makes for greater economy of operation, and better use of the operator’s time and equipment. Farms larger than the one-man size may have some minor purchasing and selling ad vantages, but the main incentive is to boost output for a larger total income, according to the report. The optimum one-man farm, for study purposes, was con sidered to have the maximum acreage in crops that a man and his machines could plant, cultivate, and harvest seasonally or annually. For example, if a man can harvest 500 acres, cultivate 400, but only plant 300 acres of a crop, the effective optimum is 300 acres. The study identified several technically optimum one-man units: California cotton, 400 acres; Delta cotton-soybeans, 600 acres; Indiana corn-soybeans, * 800 acres; Kansas wheat-grain sorghum, I,9soacres; Northwest cattle, 5,900 acres. Specialized crop farms, even those that are technically op timum, may not employ the operator full time, ERS states. In cush instances, a combination of farm and nonfarm activities might be considered.

Consumers’ Corner Review Homeowners Insurance Is your home adequately in sured’ Chances are it’s not A survey by an insurance company reveals that over half of all single family homeowners don’t carry enough insurance to protect their property fully Inflation is a common cause of inadequate coverage. A house ful ly insured ten years ago maynow be insured for only half its value unless the amount of insurance has been increased. The value of your home also may have increased if you’ve made home improvements When you add a room, remodel or even panel an existing room, it’s wise to increase your insurance policy Then too, replacement costs have increased with changes in supply and rising labor prices. In any case, it’s recommended that insurance coverage equal the market value of your home minus the value of the lot and and the foundation A good rule of thumb is to have coverage for no less than 80 percent of the replace ment cost. Many insurance com panies offer homeowner’s policies with a built-in inflation guard pro vision that increases coverage at regular intervals.
