Abstract

Searching for production alternatives for small farmers, Goyaz Group -Teaching, Research and Extension has been working with Serra Abaixo Small Farmers Association (APASA), in Inhumas, Goiás State. Data were collected through questionnaires during the corn (Zea mays L.) crop growing period, in the farmer areas, making up 33,370 m2, from August 8 to October 18, 1996, under animal traction no-tillage. The objectives were to determine operational costs, gross income, manpower and capital utilization indexes, and to develop the economic-financial analysis of the green corn crop under farm conditions. All participating farmers achieved positive financial results as expressed by gross margin, which varied individually from R$319.89 to R$1,760.67, while the average gross margin was R$ 901.02. Under the experimental conditions the most adequate period to plant animal traction no-tillage corn is August, secondarily extended through mid September.

KEY-WORDS: Gross margin; animal traction no-tillage; operational costs.
