The 1979 Eastern Plateau Region dairy farm business summary includes data from 84 farms located in Broome, Delaware, Chenango, Chemung, Otsego, Tioga, Tompkins and Schuyler counties. The Cooperative Extension Associations in these counties have been sponsoring farm business management projects for 25 years and the Eastern Plateau summary has been published for 12 years. The primary purpose of this project is to assist cooperators in farm record keeping and business analysis and thereby improve their skills as managers. This report is prepared in workbook form for use in the systematic stu~y of individual farm business operations.
