Projecting Brookings Growth From College Enrollment Estimates, Norma Ruth Koch
Projecting Brookings Growth From College Enrollment Estimates, Norma Ruth Koch
Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)
This study attempts to make a projection of population and commercial activity in the City of Brookings, based upon a prior projection of enrollment at South Dakota State College. In order to determine the material benefits which Brookings will derive from the location of South Dakota State College in the community, an estimate of the business expansion which will follow the anticipated increase in enrollment and employment at the college by 1970 is necessary. The objective of this study is to estimate the anticipated commercial expansion.
Grain Merchandising At The Country Elevator, Arthur B. Sogn
Grain Merchandising At The Country Elevator, Arthur B. Sogn
Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)
The general public including the patrons has little knowledge of the internal operations of country elevators. This is due in part to the lack of adequate communication between the operator and his customers or patrons. In consequence the patrons too often fail to understand why a certain price for their grain is offered or why certain charges are made for services rendered. The farmer expects and is entitled to a ready market for his grains. The farmer may elect to sell his grain immediately at the current price, store it with the idea of obtaining a better price later, or …
A Search For Rules For International Wheat Surplus Disposal, James L. Leibfried
A Search For Rules For International Wheat Surplus Disposal, James L. Leibfried
Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)
Before a cooperative plan can be formulated for utilizing the wheat surpluses in underdeveloped countries, there are three points on which the exporting nations will have to agree. They are: (1) uniform terms (rates of interest and repayment, and etc.) for concessional sales; (2) the level of commercial wheat imports, if any, that the underdeveloped countries should be required to maintain; and (3) a basis for determining the quantity of wheat each exporting nation should supply on concessional terms. The general purpose of this study was to attempt to establish a basic rule for determining the level of commercial wheat …

Opportunities And Problems Of Using United States Surplus Food To Increase Capital Formation In Underveloped Countries, Ali Ahmed Attiga
Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)
This study is an elaboration of the thesis that, under certain conditions and assumptions regarding the economies of underdeveloped countries, surplus food could provide a valuable and unique form of additional funds for accelerating capital formation in these countries. The central ideas of this thesis, including the conditions and assumptions which underlie their validity and some of their practical implications are examined in Chapter II. Chapter I consists of some background in formation on present inequality of wealth between the advanced and the less developed countries of the world and the economic and political implications of such inequality. Part of …
Economic Opportunities Available To Farmers On 160-Acre Farms In Southeastern South Dakota, Leonard R. Benning
Economic Opportunities Available To Farmers On 160-Acre Farms In Southeastern South Dakota, Leonard R. Benning
Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)
How can farm income be increased on 160-acre farms in south-eastern South Dakota? This question has been asked by many farmers who are trying to determine the most profitable cropping and livestock systems. The most profitable farm organization depends on how well the farmer selects his farm enterprises and combines the use of his land, labor, capital, and management. The major problem of the farm manager is selecting the enterprises in combination with available resources that will result in the greatest continuous earnings over a period of years. There is no one combination of cropping and livestock system which is …
Sheep Production Guide, James O'Connell
Sheep Production Guide, James O'Connell
SDSU Extension Circulars
Sheep production in South Dakota offers farmers an additional means of stabilizing their income and production. The two cash crops per year, wool and lambs, have always been popular. With the necessity of planting more grasses and legumes to conserve our land, the need of putting more emphasis on roughage-consuming animals is evident. During World War II the sheep numbers in the United States declined about 40 percent from their high peak of 1942. However, since the United States produces only a fraction of the wool that this country consumes, and with sheep numbers likely to stay below the peak …

Vertical Integration And The South Dakota Farmer, Lyle Bender, Arthur Anderson, Leonard Benning
SDSU Extension Circulars
Agriculture is undergoing some vast structural changes. Sometimes these changes are referred to as both a technical and an organizational revolution. These changes can be most readily seen in the way our methods of production and marketing are being organized, and in the tools with which we work. The technical revolution has been in process for many years, but in recent years its pace has increased. Technology has given us new or improved machines and equipment, improved crop varieties and livestock, and new or improved feeds and other farm production items. Most of this new technology in agriculture has increased …

This project began in 1955 with only a few cooperators and has increased to 56 cooperators in 1957. The purpose of this project is to obtain data on costs, returns and organization on farms and ranches in all …

Summary Of Research On Diethlstilbestrol For Growing And Fattening Beef Cattle, D.V. Radabaugh, L.B. Embry
Summary Of Research On Diethlstilbestrol For Growing And Fattening Beef Cattle, D.V. Radabaugh, L.B. Embry
Agricultural Experiment Station Animal Husbandry Pamphlets
Numerous experiments on the response of growing and fattening cattle to stilbestrol have been reported in recent years. There has been a response to stilbestrol in most of these experiments, though to varying degrees. Many of the reports have been of a preliminary nature and in several instances have covered only one trial. A review of such experiments individually does not present a clear and concise picture of the effects of stilbestrol treatment. Therefore, results of most of the reported experiments have been reviewed and are summarized in the tables in this pamphlet. Four rather distinct phases of cattle feeding …

Seasonal Variations Of Soil Moisture In South Dakota, Ray F. Pengra
Seasonal Variations Of Soil Moisture In South Dakota, Ray F. Pengra
Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)
The purpose of this study was to estimate the average daily soil moisture in the various areas of South Dakota. Estimates of such soil moisture are presented in graphic form for locations represented by 25 U. S. Weather Bureau Stations in South Dakota. Estimates of the average soil moisture available may be of use in planning irrigation projects for large areas or for individual farms. The method used here in calculating the soil moisture for the past may prove to be a practical means by which farmers can determine when and how often to irrigate during the crop year. Further …
Water Systems For The Farm, William Peterson
Water Systems For The Farm, William Peterson
SDSU Extension Circulars
Water under pressure is necessary on the modern farm. Probably more tons of water are needed than any other single product handled on the farm. Handling it automatically, with a pressure system, will save much work and time. Without water under pressure, animals often do not get enough water and production efficiency suffers. The home will be more sanitary if plenty of water, under pressure, 1s available.
