Book. This data is further broken down into four regions based upon various factors,
such as irrigation vs. dryland practices, and historical data. The information included
provides averages that are useful in comparing your individual operation with others
from across the state.
-Books are provided Free to Members, State Senators, and County Extension Officers.
-Bankers and Lenders also find this information helpful and we sell the books to banks
and other financial institutes.
-This year, we made a book based on our 20 Most Efficient Farms. These operations
were picked based on their historical performances. This book compares the
averages of these 20 farms with the rest of the farms that we work with. It is
interesting to compare figures such as efficiency ratios and to see what these farms
are doing to be profitable. This book is also available to be purchased.
