A Linear Programming Analysis Of Several Determinants Of Profit On A Simulated Northern Utah Dairy Farm, Jay Dee Atwood May 1983

A Linear Programming Analysis Of Several Determinants Of Profit On A Simulated Northern Utah Dairy Farm, Jay Dee Atwood

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of the study was to analyze several determinants of profit on a simulated northern Utah dairy farm. A linear programming model was developed to accomplish this. Optimal conditions on the farm were estimated and then other model applications were made to evaluate the importance of milk price, cropland ownership, and corn silage production and feeding. The significance of cow quality also was estimated.

Optimal conditions on the farm gave rates of return to capital between savings rates and loan rates obtainable at a financial institution. Marginal values derived for land did not support the current asking price of …


An Analysis Of The Limonin And Naringin Content Of Grapefruit Juice Samples Collected From Florida State Test Houses, Richard L. Mansell, Cecilia Mcintosh, Susan E. Vest Dec 1982

An Analysis Of The Limonin And Naringin Content Of Grapefruit Juice Samples Collected From Florida State Test Houses, Richard L. Mansell, Cecilia Mcintosh, Susan E. Vest

Cecilia A. McIntosh

An analysis of the limonin and naringin content of 6685 grapefruit juice samples (representing approximately 6% of all grapefruit harvested) collected from three Florida State Test Houses showed that there were statistically significant differences between the Test Houses.  There also was a statistically significant difference in the concentration of these compounds in the juice from the different cultivars of fruit sampled.  Average limonin and naringin concentrations in the juice remained fairly constant through the beginning of the season until a freeze occurred in early 1981.  Juice obtained from fruit harvested after this freeze contained decreasing amounts of limonin and increasing …
