This study examines the role of government at the state level in the allocation of land and water resources which supply recreational products for which there is economic demand. Two approaches are employed with special reference to South Dakota. One approach considers the productivities of resources which provide goods and services according to consumer choice. The other approach analyzes policy decisions and the means by which society, organized through government, is able to move toward a goal of maximization of satisfactions. The two approaches are highly interrelated. Attention is given (1) to the jurisdiction of a state over the factors …

The significant characteristics of the economy of South Dakota are: (1) the dominant role of agriculture in the state (2) the erratic nature of its agricultural production and (3) the decrease in economic activity and population as one moves from the southeastern to the northwestern part of the state. In I960, 61 percent of the population was classified as rural by the Census Bureau. This includes towns under 2,500 population. Only North Dakota has a greater percentage of its population living in rural areas The saying that "you can't keep them home on the farm" is as appropriate to South …

The recently completed Oahe dam across the Missouri river near Pierre is storing water potentially useful for developing the economy of north central South Dakota. Such water if used within the State for improving the agricultural productivity of the region could be expected to increase the volume of business in towns within or near the Oahe area and to improve industrial and municipal water supplies. This leaves the objectives of this study as follows: estimate the change in business activity within and near the project area; assess the value of adequate municipal and industrial water supplies for expansion purposes; and …

The purpose of this thesis is to estimate the extent to which selected European Economic Community (EEC) agricultural policy alternatives would affect United States imports and exports of cattle and beef products, and to hazard conclusions concerning the effects of the various EEC policies on the South Dakota cattlemen. This involves an examination of United States trade in these commodities and of alternative Common Market policies and the future trade patterns which would result from each. It is hoped that the facts assembled herein concerning international trade in cattle and beef products will be of assistance to South Dakota ranchers, …

As increasing income is closely related to resource development, the Agri-Business Day Program was structured to include a consideration of resources most directly influencing levels of personal income. This program was divided into three major parts. The first primarily concerned ways to expand economic activity and higher levels of income through development of human resources. Human resource development was placed at the head of the program as it is recognized that all economic development has its inception in the thinking processes of man. The second part of the program was built around ways of generating income through the development of …

There is, however, strong justification for enacting modifications in the structure of the property tax and seeking means of strengthening its administration. Historical trends are of special interest when studying the property tax because it has survived with few modifications during a period of changing economic conditions. Since its adoption in Colonial times, the nation's economy has passed from the agricultural to the present industrial stage. Many of today's property tax problems are related to those gradual changes in the economy of the country and in the needs of its citizens. These aspects of the property tax are also related …
Comparison Of Alternative Beef Cattle Systems For Western South Dakota Ranches, Grant L. Cornelius
Comparison Of Alternative Beef Cattle Systems For Western South Dakota Ranches, Grant L. Cornelius
Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)
Speculation often arises among ranchers that an increase in size of operation, a change from one type of system to another, or a modification of the present type of system may be profitable. This speculation is caused by cost and price changes which reduce net returns and make other types of operations appear to be more profitable. The objective of this study is to develop cost and return estimates of common types of cattle ranching systems and thereby determine whether such speculation is well founded.
