Abstract

Excerpts from the paper: A survey conducted by USDA in 1975 was designed to estimate 1974 costs of production (COP) in major grain and cotton regions. Counties included in the survey were primarily those with 10 percent or more of their total land area in cropland. The lower limit of farm size permitted in the sample, ranged from 50 cropland acres in the Southeast, to 400 cropland acres in the Northwest; the upper limit of farm sizes ranged from 5,000 to 10,000 cropland acres, Southeast to Northwest. The data gathered in the COP survey were stratified, with cropland acreage as the basis for stratification. For each of 40 subregions, the data were divided into one-third of the farms in each of three size categories. Table 1 gives the range of cropland acreage for each size group in each subregion; it also gives the number of observations in each cell.
