Financial results on mixed dairy farms in 1942-43 as compared with 1938-39

Abstract

In May, 1939, a report on the financial results secured on 98 "mixed" dairy farms on the North Cork-Limerick border, in the accounting year ended 30th April, 1938, was presented to the Society. (Journal SSI 1938-39) For 93 of these farms, comparable data were again collected in 1939, covering the accounting-year ended 30th April, 1939, and portion of these data appeared in the Society's Journal for 1939-40. In 1943, information, similar to that collected in 1938 and 1939, was again secured for some of the farms mentioned, the accounting year being 1st May, 1942, to 30th April, 1943. This information is here summarised, and where possible, measurements are effected of the changes occurring since 1938-39 ? the last complete accounting year of peace.
