Spatial Impact Of Factor Payments: A Case Study Of Turkey Production And Processing In Utah, Chesley T. Blackham

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A careful identification of the sources of capital investment can be used to determine the spatial source and flow of returns from it, and, hence, provides some indication of the extent to which local community income could be expected to change with changes in the level and mix of factors employed locally.

Economic And Agronomic Analysis Of Silage And Grain Corn Production In 15 Counties Of Utah 1972, Juan Zenteno

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This study estimated the 1972 costs and returns, and analyzed the physical response and economic relationships of corn hybrids for silage and grain production in some counties of Utah.

Average size of enterprise, land value and equipment value were estimated for silage and grain corn production in Utah.

Labor requirements for land preparation, growing and harvesting of silage and grain corn production were averaged. Net returns and costs (variable and fixed) for silage and grain corn production were computed in 30 farms of 15 counties of Utah to find the total production cost.

Yields, total cost, total revenue and economic …
