"The book entitled `Economics of Agricultural Production and Farm
Management' deals with two important aspects of agriculture and applied
economics i.e. Agricultural production economics and farm management. The
book is divided into 14 chapters. The first ten chapters deal with farm
management and the other four chapters deal with agricultural production
economics.
In farm management, introduction, characteristics of farming as a business,
principles of farm management, types and systems of farming, farm planning
and budgeting, farm business analysis, cost concepts, farm layout, risk and
uncertainty and linear programming have been covered.
In agricultural production economics - the meaning, definition, nature and
scope, basis terms and concepts, relationships between factor-product,
factor-factor and product-product are covered with figures and data. It
covers both fundamental and applied aspects. The book has been written in
simple and easy language. It is intended to serve as a basis for a course

need of under-graduate students of agriculture and post-graduate students
of agricultural economics. It is hoped that the book will be worthwhile to
teachers, students, researchers, professionals, farmers etc."
