Examination Of Farm Bankruptcy Debtors And Their Creditors, Larry Janssen, Brian Schmiesing

Economics Research Reports

Agricultural financial conditions and farm reorganization options have been analyzed extensively by agricultural economists, but analysis of actual reorganization bankruptcy filings has not been completed. This study contains analysis of 219 Chapter 11 farm filings in South Dakota from 1980-1985 and documents financially related characteristics of these producers and their secured. impaired and unsecured creditors. Discriminant analysis is used to examine the predictive value of initial filing data on eventual court disposition of farm Chapter 11 cases. Major provisions of Federal Bankruptcy Chapter 11 and 12 are compared. South Dakota agricultural lenders' reactions concerning impacts of Chapter 12 on credit …


Cost Of Production And Net Returns For Alternative Farming Systems In Northeastern South Dakota: 1986 And "Normalized" Situations, Thomas Dobbs, Lyle A. Weiss, Mark G. Leddy Jul 1987

Cost Of Production And Net Returns For Alternative Farming Systems In Northeastern South Dakota: 1986 And "Normalized" Situations, Thomas Dobbs, Lyle A. Weiss, Mark G. Leddy

Economics Research Reports

This report is a product of the initial year of research under South Dakota State University (SDSU) Agricultural Experiment Station Project H-076. entitled "Economics of Farming Systems Alternatives in Eastern South Dakota". The overall objective of this research project is to determine the economic practicality in eastern South Dakota of "alternative" farming systems which may entail less use of chemical fertilizers. pesticides. and herbicides than do "conventional" systems. The initial step in achieving that overall objective is to make preliminary estimates of crop enterprise and farming system costs and returns. We have done this for two sets of farming systems …

Economics Research Reports

Economists have long been interested in determinants of farmland prices. This interest has been heightened by large and contrasting changes in farmland market prices in the 1970's and 1980's. U.S. nominal farmland prices trended steadily upward from 1940-1972, soared upward 1972-1981 and have been declining since then. Percentage declines have been most severe in the Cornbelt and Northern Plains states (USDA, 1985). Two major econometric approaches (time series and cross-sectional models) have been and continue to be used by economists to analyze farmland price determining factors.
