Grain Production & Handling Trends In South Dakota And Their Implications, Bashir Qasmi, Clayton Wilhelm Oct 2002

Grain Production & Handling Trends In South Dakota And Their Implications, Bashir Qasmi, Clayton Wilhelm

Economics Staff Paper Series

Over the last three decades, producers in South Dakota have planted increasingly more acres under corn and soybeans and have moved away from producing oats and barley. The wheat production in the state has also increased during this period. The grain handling industry in South Dakota has also changed over time. The number of commercial elevators has significantly decreased during the past 30 years, and the operating capacities of the remaining ones are much larger. Genetically modified (GM) or transgenic corn and soybeans were introduced in 1996. Presently, South Dakota is leading the nation in adoption of transgenic corn and …

Agricultural Processing Possibilities In South Dakota: The Alcohol Fuels Case, Thomas Dobbs Sep 1983

Agricultural Processing Possibilities In South Dakota: The Alcohol Fuels Case, Thomas Dobbs

Economics Staff Paper Series

Fuel alcohol production experience and prospects are addressed in this paper as a case example of agricultural processing development in South Dakota. The remarks here are based largely on interdisciplinary research at South Dakota State University (SDSU) in which I have participated over the past four years. This research, coupled with development experiences in fuel alcohol over the past few years, provides insights to prospects and limitations for furthering agricultural processing in South Dakota.


Evidence On The Economic Feasibility Of Small Scale Fuel Alcohol Production, Thomas Dobbs, Randy Hoffman, Ardelle Lundeen Aug 1982

Evidence On The Economic Feasibility Of Small Scale Fuel Alcohol Production, Thomas Dobbs, Randy Hoffman, Ardelle Lundeen

Economics Staff Paper Series

Findings from interdisciplinary research at South Dakota State University with a pilot fuel alcohol plant are presented. That research and other studies indicate that small plants will have difficulty in competing with larger plants and in supplying fuel that is competitive in cost with petroleum-based fuels.


Framework For Examining The Economic Feasibility Of Small Scale Alcohol Plants, Thomas Dobbs, Randy Hoffman, Ardelle Lundeen Aug 1981

Framework For Examining The Economic Feasibility Of Small Scale Alcohol Plants, Thomas Dobbs, Randy Hoffman, Ardelle Lundeen

Economics Staff Paper Series

The feasibility of producing fuel alcohol from grain has received much attention from the Midwest and Plains States over the last few years. There has been interest in plants ranging from quite small on farm stills to very large, fuel-feed complexes costing many millions of dollars. As a result of this interest, several studies of the economic feasibility of large-scale fuel alcohol plants were conducted and published in the late 1970. More recently, a few studies of the economics of smaller-scale plants have been initiated, and some of the results are now beginning to appear in print (Hutchinson and Dobbs; …
