Although it is easy to assume farms with the lower level of crop machinery investment will be more profitable than
farms with a higher investment per acre, this simply is not always the case. It depends on the farmer’s ability to manage
those assets/expenses along with management of their other resources. One farmer may be more mechanically inclined
than another; therefore, he chooses to purchase older equipment that may require more attention than newer
equipment. However, this isn’t always the case.
As shown in the chart on the following page, an increased level of machinery investment doesn’t always lead to lower
repair bills. Both Farmer A & Farmer B are in the same county and operate a similar number of acres in 2017. According
to this snapshot Farmer A is better able to control his machinery investment and the cost of operating the equipment,
including having lower machinery repairs per acre.
