Moreover, due to ownership problems or topography restric- tions on many farms in the Colebrook area, improvement programs will not be followed. -Vn increase in production on some of the bet- ter farms will tend to ofifset reduction on others. The possibility of increased production on the better farms due to improved cropping management is not inconsistent with long-time national policy, because total production of milk in the whole area may not be increased and because production costs are lowered by the improvements undertaken. The operators on marginal lands who do not make improvements are further handicapped by the im- proved jiractices of men en better land, and are less able to compete in the prodtiction of milk. If the results of improved practices were developed quickly, the difficulties of the marginal farmer would be intensified which would raise serious short-time adjustment prob- lems. The present organization on Farm B is 29 cows, 12 young stock, three work horses, 53 acres of hay, eight acres of oats and four acres. ROTATION PERMANENT Figure 21.

Other fields are in permanent hay to be plowed and reseeded when Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station.
