Interregional Competition In Alfalfa Seed Production In The United States, Charles H. Benrud
Interregional Competition In Alfalfa Seed Production In The United States, Charles H. Benrud
Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)
“Northern” alfalfa, produced in South Dakota and its neighboring states, has long been noted for its hardy winter-resistant qualities. As a result, for many years its seed was sought after by farmers in all of the northern states in preference to any other. In recent years, however, new "synthetic" varieties have been developed. Certified seed of these varieties has been produced in large quantities in other parts of the United States and sold in competition with Northern seed. In an effort to help Northern producers solve their problems, research has been carried on by the South Dakota State College Agricultural …
Least-Cost Sites For Cooperative Egg Marketing Federations For Eastern South Dakota, John S. Arnold
Least-Cost Sites For Cooperative Egg Marketing Federations For Eastern South Dakota, John S. Arnold
Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)
Traditional outlets for South Dakota eggs, outside the Midwest, are being offered greater supplies of quality eggs by nearby producers than before. As a result. South Dakota has lost much of its Eastern market and may lose its Western market. A number of cooperative associations have expressed an interest in developing more efficient egg marketing systems. Improved cooperative marketing would create increased bargaining power and higher net returns for many producers. Cooperatives have played an important function in South Dakota egg marketing for many years. Cooperatives in other parts of the country have formed federations to increase cooperative egg marketing …
Comparisons Of The Profitability Of Certified And Uncertified Alfalfa Seed Production In South Dakota, Arnold Lyle Aspelin
Comparisons Of The Profitability Of Certified And Uncertified Alfalfa Seed Production In South Dakota, Arnold Lyle Aspelin
Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)
Alfalfa is one of the most important crops grown in South Dakota. Approximately two per cent of the total alfalfa acreage harvested for seed in South Dakota during recent years has produced certified seed. The other 98 percent has produced uncertified seed, commonly referred to as "Northern" alfalfa seed. Until 1952, uncertified Northern alfalfa seed found a ready market in areas where winter hardiness is necessary. Since that time the demand for this seed has declined markedly. The problem which has arisen requires an answer to the question: "Can South Dakota seed producers obtain greater net returns by producing certified …
Farm Business Management Data And Practices: 1958 Annual Report, Charles H. Benrud, Arnold Aspelin
Farm Business Management Data And Practices: 1958 Annual Report, Charles H. Benrud, Arnold Aspelin
Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)
This pamphlet is the annual summary of Economic Project 264, '"Farm Business Management Data and Practices in South Dakota," for 1958, the third full year of its operation. A total of 53 cooperators turned in records for summary and analysis. The purpose of this project is to obtain data on costs, returns and organization on a few farms and ranches of various types in the different types of farming areas in the state. This information is used by the Experiment Station, the Extension Service, and the State College proper, in farm planning, budgeting, and teaching. It can also be of …
An Economic Analysis Of The Effects Of Alternative Shearing Methods On Wool Quality In Eastern South Dakota, Gerald E. Marousek
An Economic Analysis Of The Effects Of Alternative Shearing Methods On Wool Quality In Eastern South Dakota, Gerald E. Marousek
Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)
The lack of information relating the quality of the wool clip at the farm to its value to the manufacturer has been recognized for several years. The following objectives were set out as a means of guiding the study of wool quality improvement in eastern South Dakota: To determine the theoretical effects of improved methods of shearing and handling wool on quantities produced, prices received, apportionment of benefits between producers and consumers, farm resource allocation, producers' bargaining power, and marketing costs; to develop and test practical methods of farm preparation of fleeces which could be expected to improve the quality …
