Use of a diary for farm accounts

This Bulletin tells how a diary may be used for keeping certain farm records. Farmers have need of two kinds of accountsâ⠡¬â€�first, those in which are recorded items of a financial nature, such as receipts and expenditures, and, second, those in which are kept records of farm work and production, such as dates of planting and of harvesting, crop yields, feed fed to live stock, etc. On the average farm, where the business is not too large, a diary is a very convenient means of keeping all these records. The farm home and the farm business are intimately associated; the one is indeed the headquarters of the other. A carefully kept diary embodies a chronicle of the affairs of both which is of permanent value, not only from a personal and sentimental standpoint, but also as a continuous record of the farm business. In the following pages several different kinds of such diaries are described with suggestions as to how various farm accounts may be kept in diary form
