Book Description
Excerpt from An Agricultural Survey of Brooke County, 1915 The agriculture of any region is generally recognized as one of the important industries. The continuous success of this industry will depend in large measure upon the class of people that is attracted to it in the future. The attractions of any occupation are both social and economic but the fundamental importance of good economic conditions is not likely to be over estimated. If farming is to attract the young men of the country it must yield profits sufficient to justify their staying on the farms. Various industrial developments in the state have brought opportunities for ambitious young men, however agriculture offers a comfortable living to more people than do most other lines of endeavor. The 1910 census figures show that 62.2 percent of the land area of West Virginia is in farms. About one-third of the state is in timber land; this area is largely mountainous. A large part of the state is made up of broad rolling hills more suited to grazing than to cultivation but there are many fertile valleys among the hills which make up the best agricultural lands of the state. The mineral wealth has had a great influence on agriculture in much of the state. The industrial development during the last fifty years has given many farm owners an income sufficient to reduce the incentive to work their farms. The great diversity of conditions in the state brings about many farm management problems. Farm management treats of the business of farming with a view to making the farm return the greatest continuous profits. The purpose of the Brooke County farm management survey was to determine the most profitable types of farming, the status of agricultural production, and the methods of farm management now practiced in this region. If a farm is to be a business success it must pay farm expenses, interest on the investment and wages for all farm labor.
