Orchard Establishment Costs On The Wasatch Front, Earnest M. Morrison
Utah Resources Series
Present and potential fruit farmers are asking the question, "How much do I have invested in an acre of fruit by the time the trees are old enough to produce a paying crop?" or "How much would I have to invest to bring an acre of young trees into production?" Sometimes the question is "How much do trees add to the value of bare land?" or "How much value must I depreciate my trees each year to recover my investment by the time their productive life has passed?"
Field Corn Production For Grain Or Silage In Northern Utah 1962 Costs And Returns, Earnest M. Morrison
Field Corn Production For Grain Or Silage In Northern Utah 1962 Costs And Returns, Earnest M. Morrison
Utah Resources Series
Field corn for grain, silage, or pasturing has been produced in Utah since its settlement by the Mormon Pioneers. Those reporting data, however, have made no division of production and value of the different uses of corn until recent years. Previous to 1959 all field corn was reported in grain equivalents for the state as a whole. No county data are reported in Utah except by the Agricultural Census and, hence, only at 5 year intervals. While there has always been some corn harvested for grain each year, the bulk of the corn grown in Utah has been for silage. …

Sugar Beet Production In Utah: Cost And Net Return 1945-1963, Earnest M. Morrison
Utah Resources Series
For a number of years the Agricultural Experiment Station has measured and reported the costs and returns in the production of the important agricultural enterprises on Utah farms. These studies have been initiated by a detailed investigation of a sufficient number of farms to reflect the average conditions of the enterprise under study. In each succeeding year sufficient additional field and other data are collected to reflect the changes in prices, costs, and method of production to determine the current costs and returns for that year. Periodically detailed studies have been repeated for each enterprise and the data kept current …

Sweet corn for canning purposes has been grown commercially in Utah for more than 40 years. For two decades before 1940, the acreage varied between 400 and 800 acres. It increased from 600 acres in 1942 to 6,300 in 1949 and was down to 4,470 acres in 1959. In 1959, there were five counties in Utah where farmers grew more than 100 acres of canning corn. This accounted for 98 percent of all canning corn reported. Of these, Utah County had 2,468 acres or 55 percent of the total, Cache had 1,059 acres or 23 percent, Box Elder had 483 …

Since 1946, the cost of producing canning peas has been investigated on a continuing basis by the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station. The original comprehensive study was made in 1946. A second study was completed in 1951. The most recent study was made in 1961. In between the major studies annual costs of production have been calculated.

Cost Of Raising Dairy Heifers In Northern Utah, Earnest M. Morrison, J'Wayne Mcarthur
Utah Resources Series
Dairymen have a continuing problem in maintaining herd size. Disease, injuries, and low production, make it necessary for them to cull animals from their herds. Replacements equal to a complete herd turnover are necessary every two to six years. Consequently, many are wondering as to the most profitable practice to supply the needed replacements in the herd. Three alternatives are available: Dairymen can produce herd replacements. They can purchase either heifers or cows. They can contract with growers specializing in raising heifers to provide replacements. Since all dairy enterprises differ to some degree, each dairyman should seek a specific solution …
