Checked out my USSR game and all my industrial farms show as producing 10 in the state view and in the list of production in the trade view. Where do you see the smaller numbers?

You can increase output by 4 through research or by 2 and get cheaper builds.

As USSR you get one every few months from a decision. Don't think they were that common in this time frame in most countries - so maybe they aren't generally intended to be a good deal.

I was checking the Daily Food gain. I am playing now and I see the Gross Food went up 10, but the Net was what goes up between 5 and 7. Not sure why the Net would be reduced from the production of a Farm.

As far as the research, I am aware of the increase. But that requires not only a huge amount of production to build one farm, but not 2 research slots to get 2 more.., see what I mean? Just tossing out that it would be foolish to build unless you get around..., say 100 or something like that.

All things being equal, if you are producing more then (if not in negatives) you are going to have more stored and more spoilage. Also, of course, you will be exporting a percentage of all food you gather depending upon your export policy.

If the farms were getting infrastructure etc, bonus then you could get about 20 from a farm. That would be a fair contribution.

Infrastructure is not working for the build speed (see my other post). But are you saying infrastructure increases output of Industrial Farms? I will check later on, but I believe they are the same output despite the infrastructure.., I think. Thanks

Hold on, I think I see 1 food equals 7 rations (consumption)? Not sure because UI is vague so I took the consumption of 583 Food from the 'NEED" row of the Resources and Trade tab and compared that to the 'Rations' UI at top left of screen consuming 4052 rations. So I guess that translates to 4052/583=7. If this is correct, this needs to be spelled out somewhere. Maybe in the Construction tab when you hover over industrial farm have it say 10 food is 70 Rations, or whatever.

The cost of 6400 production for 70 rations (0.168%) totally sucks. Need to jack that up a factor of like 300 rations per Farm or reduce the production cost to 1000 or whatever.

1 Food = 10 Rations. You can see that in the food tooltip
