Cash production costs covered in the budgets German has developed in clude costs for seed, her bicides, fuel and fertilizer. Fixed costs included are those associated with machinery, depreciation, interest on investment in machinery, insurance and repairs, land interest and taxes. Because not all growers fit the same category as far as land and equipment ownership, indebtedness and labor source, the marketing specialist has provided some variables, or “assump tions,” that take different equity positions into account.

University of Delaware Extension crops marketing specialist, Carl German, has prepared a publication entitled, “Representative Costs and Returns' for Corn and Soybean Production at Various Yield Levels and Size of Operation.” The publication is intended to alleviate some of the uncertainties the farmer has to deal with today, by letting him evaluate his own costs and returns more ac curately. By understanding the variables and how they affect his operation, says German, the grower can make production and marketing decisions that are more in line with his par ticular circumstances and thus optimize his income. and in good standing with their local Grange are eligible for the Seventh Degree. The degree con ferral will be performed under the direction of C. Jerome Davis of Ramsey, Ind. Davis holds the fraternity’s highest ritualistic office.
