They point out that operation costs will be higher, especially for labor, machinery and feed. But they feel the best way to beat higher costs is through greater production and efficiency. Increased production can be obtained ob-tained by use of more legumes in the rotation, using more commercial commer-cial fertilizer or by tilling heay land which is poorly drained but which can be made highly productive. produc-tive. Modern machinery makes farming larger acreages possible, and only through making maximum maxi-mum use of equipment can it become be-come a profitable buy. Another method of increasing production will be through expanding expand-ing the livestock program. Continued Contin-ued high demand for livestock products pro-ducts will keep prices high and open good opportunities for profit. .
