MANY FARMERS LACK
PROPER PLANNING
By E. K. VEACH,
Aurelian Springs Agricultural
Teacher
Farmers who have not made com
plete plans for farming the com
ing year should do so as rapidly
as possible. The time is here when
nothing is needed so badly on the
average farm as more intelligent
planning. Some farm folk do not
work enough to deserve success;
some work sufficiently hard but
for lack of any plan do not suc
ceed as they should; and some who
make good work harder than would
be necessary if all efforts were
more thoughtful y directed. As
some one has said, “Farm planning
and bookkeeping are the eyes of
farming. Before I started to keep
cost accounts I worked in the
dark.”
The time is here when farmers
must not lose the advantage gain
ed by, neglect of clear thinking.
The problem is still your own.
Governmental efforts in your be -
half have been directed towards
getting agriculture in line for ad
justment. The farmers task at pre
sent is to hold, plan a little more
careful what you are going to do,
and go forward.
Economic production must be ba
sic with a farmer in his opera
tions. Quality production at mini
mum cost bears the same relation
to agriculture as it does to any
successful business. In organizing
your farm to find out what to
plant or raise you should consider
the demand for the product thro
ugh accurate reports (now avail
able to all farmers), and produc
tion must be regulated to meet
this demand.
Farm planning does not only in
clude the caslT crops you will
plant and the livestock you will
keep, but provides for food and
feed crops to plant, also general
repairs on the farm and the main
tenance of soil fertility.
The maintenance of soil fertility
is one of the first things a farm
er shou’d keep in mind if he ex
pects to be a successful farmer.
No farm plan is worthy of the
name that does not provide for
keeping up the fertility of the
land. Legumes must be grown, co
ver crops used, land not suitable
for cultivation may be sown down
in grass, stable manure saved for
the land and fertilizer used not on
ly to boost a cash crop yield but
also to make better clover, vetch
and small grain or grass to hold
the soil and add to its fertility.
Terraces play an important part
many times in the upkeep of our
soil.
Don’t forget the farmer who
plans and organzes his farming
business is the farmer who will
succeed in the future over a per
iod of time.
