SCS begins erosion study
' LANCASTER - The Soil
Conservation Service (SCS)
is in the process of an erosion
inventory and sediment
yield study in Lancaster
County. This is part of a
national erosion study that is
being carried out throughout
the country, reports-Warren
M. Archibald, district
conservationist.
SCS technicians in Lan
caster County are visiting
random 100-acre plots that
have been selected to in
sure uniformity of the
sampling throughout the
USA. They will record land
use data from these plots.
They will also check three
randomly selected points
within each plot and record
different types of in
formation, such as the type
of cover, slope, kind of soil,
and conservation practices.
According to Warren M.
Archibald, all this in
formation will be com
puterized at Ames, lowa. It
will help SCS to determine

German collected in
formation for the circular
from various Delaware farm
operations on the basis of
their 1977 crops. He included
purchased input costs, such
as seed, fertilizer, fuel, etc.,
as well as so-called fixed
farm costs like machinery
depreciation, land, taxes and
insurance. This data was
further broken down by the
size of the operation, the
yield per acre, and the value
of land associated with the
cost of production.

marketing decisions for next
year by determining this
year’s production costs and
break-even prices.
For this reason, he has
compiled a circular to help
Delaware farmers plan their
production strategy for next
year. Entitled
“Representative Break-
Even Prices for Com and
Soybeans at Various Yields,
Land Values and Size of
Operations,” the circular is
intended as a guide to both
fanners and agricultural
industry personnel.
Based on the information
included in this publication,
Delaware com and soybean
farmers should be able to
compute their own
production costs and break
even prices. A worksheet for
this purpose is included at
the end of the circular.
