Variability Of Feed Grain And Forage Production In South Dakota, Edward Dailey
Variability Of Feed Grain And Forage Production In South Dakota, Edward Dailey
Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)
The volume of feed grain and roughage production varies from year to year and the variation in South Dakota is sizable. This variation has a bearing on the extent to which cattle feeding is carried out in South Dakota. It helps to explain why different areas or regions have unlike rates of expansion. It is important that this variation be recognized for there are a number of sound farm management practices which can be used to reduce instability and uncertainty. Feeders in some areas must make more provisions to increase stability than others. Stabilization of feed grain and roughage availability …

Cost Of Producing And Marketing Finished Beef In Relation To Consuming Areas, David A. Myers
Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)
South Dakota exports a large part of its agricultural production. The commodities exported and the form in which they are exported are determinants of the returns producers receive for the employment of their resources. The objectives of this study were: (1) To determine the principal costs for bringing beef cattle from 400 pound weight to a finished weight of 1150 pounds in South Dakota and in other selected areas. Two main categories of cost are purchase price of the animal and feed costs. (2) To compare the cost of marketing beef produced in South Dakota with beef produced in selected …

Marketing And Other Factors Affecting The Cattle Feeding Enterprise In Eastern South Dakota, Gerald Marousek
Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)
The marketing aspects of the cattle feeding operation are vitally important to its financial success. Decisions concerning transportation rates, grade specifications, market information, and many others cannot be made or put into effect by individual action. Often financial, legislative, and legal considerations are involved. In order to gain knowledge concerning the marketing aspects of cattle feeding in South Dakota, the cooperation of established feeders was sought. Cooperators supplied information on present and expected future operations, both individual and for the geographic area over which they had knowledge.

Several broad objectives were therefore selected for major program emphasis. They are: To strengthen and encourage adult responsibility in community living through leadership training. To encourage through training programs greater utilization of the unemployed and underemployed human resources of the reservation population. To teach better nutrition and food habits and to improve the uses of surplus food commodities distributed to welfare clients. To teach sound ranch management principles to Indian ranch …

The Family And Free Time, Agricultural Extension Service
SDSU Extension Circulars
Today Americans have more leisure than any people have ever had; yet they seem to find little real enjoyment in what they do. A recent observation suggests that the poverty-stricken may soon be replaced by the leisure-stricken. People are indulging in more activities, going more places, spending more money than ever befort; yet few recognize the need for more thoughtfulness about the use of leisure time in family living.

On-The-Farm Swine Selection, L.J. Kortan
On-The-Farm Swine Selection, L.J. Kortan
SDSU Extension Circulars
In attempts to make selection more effective, swine breeders have become increasingly conscious of the importance of a good swine breeding program and of the part that heredity plays in improving performance and carcass quality. Breeders no longer select breeding stock on the basis of sight alone. Modern selection programs emphasize performance records and carcass cut-out values. This is desirable because research has indicated that visual inspection alone cannot identify animals which are genetically superior. Good feeding and management can result in larger, faster growing litters. However, these improvements in nutrition and management do not become a part of a …

South Dakota Controlled Environment Poultry Housing, Boyd Bonzer, Louis Lubinus
SDSU Extension Circulars
An efficient, practical poultry house is an asset to a farm. It need not be expensive to give good results. Sometimes a building already on the farm can be remodeled inexpensively to serve the needs of hens; however, for larger flocks seriously consider new housing. A poultry house must protect the birds from the hot sun in summer, cold temperatures in winter, and temperature extremes in spring and fall. It must also provide for moisture removal and be a comfortable, dry place for the hens. Such a house will increase production lower feed cost, produce cleaner eggs, and save labor. …

Irrigation Farming In The Oahe Area Dryland, Rex Helfinstine
SDSU Extension Circulars
Farmers in the proposed Oahe irrigation area of east-central South Dakota could have water available for irrigation within about 10 years. In less time, however, they must decide if they want to convert part of their dryland to irrigated farming. A decision must be made shortly because of the: ( 1) Necessity of contracting with the Oahe Conservancy Subdistrict and the Bureau of Reclamation for irrigation water supply works and diversion of water from Oahe reservoir, and, ( 2) Need to adjust long-range farm plans in line with the decision. How profitable is irrigation farming as compared to dryland farming? …
