Abstract
Farm sustainability, resilience and performance are closely tied to the effectiveness with which managers use their assets and costs. This fact sheet investigates the cost and asset efficiency of agriculture operations that are categorized according to their sales and ranked by their rate of return on assets. The size of the operations, input purchases and labor productivity are particular areas of emphasis.
