Overview

Excerpt from An Economic Study of Dairy Farming in Grafton County, New Hampshire, 1930 Very few business records of farms have been obtained in New Hampshire in recent years. An early survey was made in 1909 by the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station and the Office of Farm Management of the Bureau of Plant Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture.1 Two hundred and sixty-six rec ords of farms were obtained in four townships in Hillsboro County, and the area was resurveyed and reported on ten years later. A some what more extensive survey was conducted by the same departments in 1911 and comprised the financial results of 428 farms.2 Two areas were involved in this latter study, one in the Suncook valley in Bel knap and Merrimack Counties and one in Grafton County along the Connecticut River in a part of the same area covered by the present work. The average labor incomes in the two surveys were $337 and $266, respectively. The few more recent business surveys that have been made have usually included small groups of farms and have been used principally for demonstration purposes in the communities where taken. For ex ample, such a survey was made by the Station in 1915, embracing two areas and some 160 farms in Cheshire and Sullivan Counties in the southwestern part of the State.3 A similar study was made in the same year by the Office of Farm Management at Washington.4 This study was purposely confined to the same area in Grafton County that had been covered in 1911. The average labor income in Cheshire and Sul livan Counties for 146 farms amounted to $230. The average labor in come in Grafton County for 74 farms was $248.
