This is a summary and analysis of the 1979 farm business records from ten commercial fruit farms in the Lake Ontario Region. The records were collected and checked in by Richard L. Pease, Cooperative Extension Fruit Specialist for the Lake Ontario Region. The main objectives of this study were to assist cooperators in this project and other fruit growers to: (1) develop skills in summarizing and analyzing data from their farm businesses

and (2) use the analysis to improve managerial decision-making. The purpose of the study was to provide a useful framework for analysis of the farm business. A grower may use the data to compare the farm operation with other similar farm businesses.
