You Can Get More Eggs, Boyd Bonzer, Lloyd Shinnick

SDSU Extension Circulars

One of the most common causes of lost profits and failure in poultry keeping is the lack of planning and foresight. A good poultryman is alert and wide awake; he is a person who spends a lot of time with small details-one who can watch his birds and sense when they start to get sick or go out of condition. He is a person who plans ahead and is prepared for the different phases of poultry management as the birds grow and mature.

The program is a continuous one, testing the varieties of the past against those of the present, and those of the immediate future.

Intensity Of Grazing Effect On Livestock And Forage Production, J. K. Lewis, G. M. Van Dyne, L. R. Albee, F. W. Whetzal

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

An intensity of grazing experiment was initiated in 1942 at the Cottonwood Range Field Station to study the effects of heavy, moderate, and light grazing on the vegetation and on cow and calf production. Results of the first 9 years of this study were reported in South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin 412 in 1951. These studies have been continued and intensified. The present publication is a progress report on the effects of the intensity of grazing on cow and calf production since 1953 and on the cumulative effects of different grazing intensities on the native vegetation.

South Dakota Fertilizer Experiments 1956, South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station

Agricultural Experiment Station Agronomy Pamphlets (1944-1969)

The fertilizer experiments reported in this summary were performed on representative soil types in the major crop areas of the state. The growing season in 1956 was characterized by the occurrence of drought in the spring and early summer. The drought associated with high temperatures, in early June seriously reduced small grain yields. The above normal rainfall in the early part of August was very favorable for the development of the corn crop, the southeast corner of the state did not receive these rains and the drought continued through the summer.

Marketing Cream In Plastic Bags, James L. Olson

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Because quality directly affects both price and consumption, one of the basic problems facing the butter industry in South Dakota is quality improvement. Under the price support program certain minimum quality standards have to be complied with before surplus butter can be sold to the government. One-fourth of the butter produced in South Dakota does not meet this minimum quality requirement, assuming that conditions have not changed since 1951-1952. Farm separated cream constituted 70.6 percent of the butterfat marketed in South Dakota in 1955. Cream is an important source of farm revenue in South Dakota because it yields a year …

Consumption And Preference For Butter And Margarine In Two South Dakota Cities, Norman L. Rollag

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Most of the butter manufactured by South Dakota creameries is Grade B or under as determined by our present Federal grading system. A recent South Dakota study showed that 81 per cent of the butter was Grade B and 19 per cent Grade C, The same study found that about 80 per cent of South Dakota Butter was shipped to markets where a large amount of the other butter was of a higher grade and premiums were paid for higher quality. Present quality standards for butter are based to a large extent on taste preferences of consumers which were assumed …

Farm Credit: Uses And Sources For South Dakota Farmers, Canute M. Johnson

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Today, success in farming requires good management not only good soil, crop, and livestock management but also good financial management. Farming is becoming more and more commercialized because of the increasing size of farm businesses which has resulted from greater mechanization and specialization in agricultural production. Consequently, more capital than ever before is required to operate a successful farm business and it is becoming ever more necessary to use some borrowed capital (credit) in operating the farm business. Therefore, it is as necessary for farmers to have a knowledge of the uses and sources of credit as it is for …

Acculturation Of The Dakota Indians, Vernon D. Malan

Agricultural Experiment Station Rural Sociology Pamphlets (1940-1977)

In this pamphlet the process of acculturation among the Dakota Indians--the change which has taken place in Dakota culture as a result of contact with the dominant Caucasian society--has been analyzed. We may conclude from this study that in general culture change was most likely to occur among the Dakotas when the new culture elements satisfied some basic or secondary drive of the people. Culture change was likewise dependent upon the manner in which the new ideas were introduced to them. If the changes were attempted through coercion, they were not so readily accepted as those made voluntarily. The policies …
