Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cost of Producing Sugar Beets in Utah and Idaho, 1918-1919
In working out the cost figures in this bulletin, man labor was calculated by using an average rate per hour, based upon actual wages paid in 1918 and 1919. To place all records on the same basis, compensation for supervision of the farm business was omitted. The work of each operator was charged against the cr0p just as if some person had been hired to do each task. Likewise, the horse labor cost was computed on the basis of the average price paid by farmers for this labor in the respective districts. If it is desired to bring the cost figures down to date, the hours of man labor and horse labor can be multiplied by prevailing rates. Similarly, changes can be made where increases or decreases have occurred in the cost of materials, supplies, rent of land, or other costs.
