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
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 …
Farm Business Management Data And Practices In South Dakota: 1957 Annual Report, Charles H. Benrud, Arnold Aspelin
Farm Business Management Data And Practices In South Dakota: 1957 Annual Report, Charles H. Benrud, Arnold Aspelin
Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)
This pamphlet is an annual summary of the project "Farm Business Management Data and Practices" for the year beginning January 1st, 1957 and ending December 31st 1957. Farmers and ranchers located in all of the seven "type of farming areas" in South Dakota keep records of receipts, expenses, inventories and livestock records to be analyzed by the Agricultural Experiment Station Economics Department. 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 …
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 …
