VALUATION of PRODUCE and EXPENSES of MANAGEMENT of the same Farm,
for Crop 1849: as the Wheat crop is considered to be the best we
have had in the district since 1835, every allowance is made for
this in estimating the produce. The Oat, Barley, and Bean crops are
under an average, but are charged at average quantities; the prices
noted are what are being realised. In the expense of management full
allowance is made in every item affected by present prices, except
the seed, which is charged as paid for at seed time: had it been
charged at present prices, there would fall to be deducted from
expense of management a sum of £28.
