Field Corn Production For Grain Or Silage In Northern Utah 1962 Costs And Returns, Earnest M. Morrison

Utah Resources Series

Field corn for grain, silage, or pasturing has been produced in Utah since its settlement by the Mormon Pioneers. Those reporting data, however, have made no division of production and value of the different uses of corn until recent years. Previous to 1959 all field corn was reported in grain equivalents for the state as a whole. No county data are reported in Utah except by the Agricultural Census and, hence, only at 5 year intervals. While there has always been some corn harvested for grain each year, the bulk of the corn grown in Utah has been for silage. …

An Analysis Of Economic Factors And Institutions Affecting The Productivity Of South Dakota Land And Water Resources For Upland Game Birds And Migratory Waterfowl, Arthur J. Matson

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

This study examines the role of government at the state level in the allocation of land and water resources which supply recreational products for which there is economic demand. Two approaches are employed with special reference to South Dakota. One approach considers the productivities of resources which provide goods and services according to consumer choice. The other approach analyzes policy decisions and the means by which society, organized through government, is able to move toward a goal of maximization of satisfactions. The two approaches are highly interrelated. Attention is given (1) to the jurisdiction of a state over the factors …

South Dakota Agriculture And Its Problems, South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station, Department Of Economics, South Dakota State University

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

The significant characteristics of the economy of South Dakota are: (1) the dominant role of agriculture in the state (2) the erratic nature of its agricultural production and (3) the decrease in economic activity and population as one moves from the southeastern to the northwestern part of the state. In I960, 61 percent of the population was classified as rural by the Census Bureau. This includes towns under 2,500 population. Only North Dakota has a greater percentage of its population living in rural areas The saying that "you can't keep them home on the farm" is as appropriate to South …

Seasonal Population Fluctuations And Natural Control Of The Sweetclover Aphid, G. R. Manglitz, R. E. Hill

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Because the potential of the sweetclover aphid for damaging sweetclover is well documented, yet damage occurs only occasionally under field conditions, it would appear that natural factors which depress midsummer populations are important in preventing greater damage and worthy of detailed study. Thus, this study was begun early in 1959 to investigate the natural factors which generally keep populations of this aphid below levels causing economic damage.

Community And Commercial Benefits From Water Resource Development Of The Oahe Area, Rex D. Helfinstine

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

The recently completed Oahe dam across the Missouri river near Pierre is storing water potentially useful for developing the economy of north central South Dakota. Such water if used within the State for improving the agricultural productivity of the region could be expected to increase the volume of business in towns within or near the Oahe area and to improve industrial and municipal water supplies. This leaves the objectives of this study as follows: estimate the change in business activity within and near the project area; assess the value of adequate municipal and industrial water supplies for expansion purposes; and …

International Trade In Cattle And Beef Products With Emphasis On The Effects Of The European Economic Community On The South Dakota Economy, Harold F. Bjarnson

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

The purpose of this thesis is to estimate the extent to which selected European Economic Community (EEC) agricultural policy alternatives would affect United States imports and exports of cattle and beef products, and to hazard conclusions concerning the effects of the various EEC policies on the South Dakota cattlemen. This involves an examination of United States trade in these commodities and of alternative Common Market policies and the future trade patterns which would result from each. It is hoped that the facts assembled herein concerning international trade in cattle and beef products will be of assistance to South Dakota ranchers, …

Cost Of Reclaiming Pinyon-Juniper Rangeland And Its Effect On Cattle Ranch Income, John William Adams

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

There was a period during the early history of Utah when grasses in some areas grew so tall that it hid grazing cattle and sheep from view. However, mismanagement caused this to change and depleted grassland was invaded by noxious weeds, sagebrush, and pinyon-juniper. This deterioration of choice grassland to less desirable range cover was aided by the attitude of stockmen that pasture was available on a first come first serve basis. As a result of such an attitude and the unsatisfactory condition of ranges, the era of free, uncontrolled use of grazing lands came to a close with the …

Concentrate Feed Handling Methods And Costs By Dairy And Beef Producers--Selected Utah Counties, 1961-1962, Kendell W. Brinkerhoff

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Utah is historically an agricultural state with many resources adapted to livestock production. The beef and dairy industries in Utah account for 40 and 15 percent respectively of the total receipts received from agricultural marketings (7). Utah's resources are less adapted to poultry production compared to livestock production. Nevertheless, poultry production represents a significant portion of the total agricultural receipts. Production of livestock and poultry have expanded beyond the state's capacity to produce concentrate feed to benefit from economy of scale and to increase farm size through intensification. This feed deficit in Utah must be supplied from sources outside the …

Demand For Household Water In Northern Utah, 1962, Seth H. Schick

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Water is not a single use resource. It can be used for completely unrelated purposes. There are four general uses for water: household, industrial, agricultural, and recreational. Since water is an economic good it must be properly allocated among the four uses to maximize the returns to society. Also, There must be proper allocation among competing units within each major use.

Estimation Of Optimum Size, Shape, And Replicate Number Of Safflower Plots For Yield Trials, David Ernest Polson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The success of a breeding program depends upon the ability of the plant breeder to not only develop new lines, but also to determine which lines or varieties are superior. For this purpose, yield trials are an important yardstick for determining the value of the trial in assessing the merits of the different lines.

Variation encountered is due to several factors; with true genetic differences, environment, and human error being of major importance. In order for yield trials to give meaningful information on a line or variety, it is essential that variation due to human error and environment be reduced …

Increasing Income From South Dakota Resources: Papers Presented At The Third Annual Agri-Business Day, South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station, Department Of Economics, South Dakota State University

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

As increasing income is closely related to resource development, the Agri-Business Day Program was structured to include a consideration of resources most directly influencing levels of personal income. This program was divided into three major parts. The first primarily concerned ways to expand economic activity and higher levels of income through development of human resources. Human resource development was placed at the head of the program as it is recognized that all economic development has its inception in the thinking processes of man. The second part of the program was built around ways of generating income through the development of …

Depletion Of Subsoil Moisture By Apple Trees And Other Woody Species, C. C. Wiggans

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

This project began in 1934 and ended in 1955. The work of Kiesselbach, Russel and Anderson indicated that depleted subsoil moisture might be the reason for the loss of many orchards and the injurious effects noted on native woody forest species. Most of the work in apple orchards was done at the University Fruit Farm at Union, Nebraska. Samples were also secured from commercial plantings of apples and other woody species in areas ranging from Rulo, near the Kansas-Nebraska border, to Florence, just north of Omaha, to Lincoln and several points in central Nebraska.

Use Of Farm Resources As Conditioned By Tenure Arrangements, Virgil L. Hurlburt

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

How do tenure arrangements affect organization and use of resources within farm firms? Do lease terms and arrangements affect quantities and kinds of inputs? Does the tenant and the landlord each receive full earnings of the resources he contributes to the farm business? Which of the strictly tenure-oriented characteristics of farms, as contrasted with the general economic problems of all farms, help to explain differences between and within owner-operated, cropshare cash tenant-operated and livestock-share tenant-operated farms? These are the major questions to which answers were sought in the research reported here.

An Appraisal Of The Use Of Soil Survey Information As The Basis For Valuing Land For Tax Purposes In Spink County, South Dakota, Donald Dean Patterson

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

There is, however, strong justification for enacting modifications in the structure of the property tax and seeking means of strengthening its administration. Historical trends are of special interest when studying the property tax because it has survived with few modifications during a period of changing economic conditions. Since its adoption in Colonial times, the nation's economy has passed from the agricultural to the present industrial stage. Many of today's property tax problems are related to those gradual changes in the economy of the country and in the needs of its citizens. These aspects of the property tax are also related …

Urban And Rural Differentials In Change In The Agricultural Phase Of Adult Extension Work In Selected Tennessee Counties, 1941-1961, Samuel Estil Mullins

Masters Theses

Purposes of the Study: 1. To compare trends in the amounts of emphasis (staff time) placed on adult agricultural work, non-agricultural work and Extension organization, planning, evaluations and reporting by staff members in the four urban counties (Davidson, Hamilton, Knox and Shelby), and in four selected rural agricultural counties (Franklin, Gibson, Greene and Marshall) in Tennessee for the years 1941 through 1961.

2. To consider other changes taking place (e.g. the nature of the objectives, teaching methods used and strengths and weaknesses) in adult agricultural work during the time period 1941-1961 in the selected counties.
