Grain Transportation Problems In Nebraska -- Causes And Cures. Proceedings Of The Nebraska Grain Transportation Seminar, Dale G. Anderson, Dean Linsenmeyer, Michael S. Turner
Department of Agricultural Economics: Faculty Publications
The Nebraska feed grain and soybean harvest of 1979 was one which will not soon be forgotten by those who participated in its production and marketing. Yields and production broke all previous records. Record export demands for the crop placed record service requirements on transportation and handling systems. Record movements of grain from farms to elevators and to inland and export terminals were reported. At the same time, complaints of inadequate capacity to store and transport the grain were perhaps also of all-time record proportions. Corn and milo accumulated in open piles on farms and at country collection points. Problems …
Economic Implications Of Alternative Dry-Bulk Fertilizer Supply Systems: A South-Central Nebraska Case Study, Mary Berglund, Dale G. Anderson
Economic Implications Of Alternative Dry-Bulk Fertilizer Supply Systems: A South-Central Nebraska Case Study, Mary Berglund, Dale G. Anderson
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
This study analyzed the economic implications of alternative patterns of rail service for a case-study area in south-central Nebraska. Special attention was given to effects of branchline abandonments on the delivery system for dry-bulk fertilizer. The study was an extension of an earlier Nebraska track abandonment study which focused only on grain traffic. The purpose of the latest study was to establish the effect of including dry-bulk fertilizer, the major commodity moving into the area by rail, on the earlier results. The addition of fertilizer to the analysis did not appreciably change the outcome of the earlier grain-oriented study.
Eastern Wheatbelt Farm Economics, Peter Eckersley
Eastern Wheatbelt Farm Economics, Peter Eckersley
Soil conservation survey collection
This booklet outlines the current cost structure and profitability of a farm in the eastern wheatbelt. Rather than being figures for an 'average farm', they reflect the use of practices widely recommended by the Department of Agriculture on a typical property in the area. This does not mean the Department of Agriculture believes every farm in the area should be run this way. The best way to run any particular farm depends on the resources and objectives of that farmer.

A Forecasting-Programming Method For Placement-Sales Decisions For A Beef Feedlot, Franz Schwarz, J. B. Hassler
A Forecasting-Programming Method For Placement-Sales Decisions For A Beef Feedlot, Franz Schwarz, J. B. Hassler
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
This bulletin reports on a practical multi-period linear programming procedure as a management tool for decisions on placements and marketings for a beef feedlot operating over time under market uncertainty. Although the conclusions were based on application to an individual firm with uniqueness in time and space, the model should be equally appropriate for any firm's production and marketing decisions through time.
Options For Machinery And Labour, A F. Herbert
Options For Machinery And Labour, A F. Herbert
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Machinery is one of the highest costs in farming today. It is not unusual for capital investment in machinery to be 20 to 30 percent of the total investment in the farm.
On an annual basis, expenditure directly attributable to machinery can be 40 per cent or more.
This article cannon be a panacea for everyone to reduce machinery costs - each farm is different. But some of the issues might be of help.

Financing has always been an important part of farming. With more and more sources of farm finance, it has become more complicated.
This article outlines present sources of farm finance and suggests how a proposal for a loan should be presented.
The Machinery Crisis, W T. Brown
The Machinery Crisis, W T. Brown
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The machinery crisis - I believe we have come through a crisis in farming efficiency. To maintain his income, the farmer has had to reduce his costs of production, or increase production per man. He has done this by climbing to a new plateau of efficiency, and he expanded or got out; he has substituted capital for labour.
In many cases this means bigger, more powerful machinery. This is not a simple or easy move and there are many potential ways to mske the wrong decision.
