Now that we went over all our figures, filed our taxes, what did we learn?

Been thinking about Farm Management 410 and what Dr. Shaudys taught us.

Here is one example I could find on the web:

What ratios do you use to analyze your productivity and effiency these days if any?  Back then the hog:ratio was big, now you never hear it.

How do you evaluate your progress or lack of it?

All I hear is yield but we all know marketing and gross income vs. expenses and net profit is the real gain and those farmers are growing or at least staying financially healthy.

Little fat to chew on, what do you think?
