The Rural Voice, 1999-02, Page 5Profits
With prices for so many farm commodities at
rock bottom this year, it will be a challenge to
find profit in the fields in 1999. Crop Consultant
Mervyn Erb helps give you the edge, however,
with dozens of
suggestions to
shave costs. As

looking at a crop
that has been
nearly forgotten

years, white
beans. Both
stories are in our
Profit$ secton this
month.
