Excerpt from Cost of Producing Winter Wheat and Incomes From Wheat Farming in Sherman County, Oreg
Fig. - Differences in yields and in the practices of growing and handling the crop caused some variations in the quantity requirements of wheat production on these farms. The greater use of the tractor on owned farms was mainly responsible for the smaller number of hours of horse work as compared with rented farms. The items shown as quantity cost factors represent for owned farms from 63 to 67 per cent and for share-rented farms from 68 to 74 per cent of the total operating expense of producing an acre of winter wheat.
