Orderly Production And Marketing In The Beef-Pork Sector, John E. Trierweiler, James B. Hassler
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
This study will present economic models for analyzing temporal equilibrium positions for the beef-pork sector. The issues of spatial distribution, storage, and meat forms will not be directly analyzed. Grade and yield changes for various carcass classes will, however, be implied in the carrying costs of the animal. The models will be designed such that a number of different factors that affect the production and marketing of beef and pork can be analyzed simultaneously.

Wheat And Feed Grains In The Great Plains And Northwest: Supply Response And Resource Use, G. A. Helmers, W. F. Lagrone
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The basic objective of the research reported here is to estimate supply response with varying product prices for wheat and feed grains. Within a framework of representative farm income maximization, changing product price relationships lead to supply adjustments which are aggregated and expressed as normative supply functions. Another objective is to analyze the resource use and net returns with varying prices for wheat and feed grains. The analysis of resources considers changes in overall levels of resources demanded in response to changing wheat and feed grain prices. Similarly, the analysis of net returns examines differences in net returns in response …
