Excerpt from Management Factors That Influence Farm Profits in Southwest Illinois: A Study Based on Records From More Than a Hundred Farms in the Wheat and Dairy Area Neighboring St. Louis
The acreage of a typical farm of this area is somewhat less than the state average, while the productive limitations of the soil make the size of the farm business considerably smaller than is found on most farms of the state. The farms are operated without requiring much hired labor, dependence being placed largely on family labor.
