An Economic Analysis Of Some Aspects Of Medical Service Availability In Northwest South Dakota, Leland G. Bierman

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

A community which has its own hospital and doctor is benefited in many ways. First, the people in the community are near medical care in times of emergency. Second, hospital patients from the community are near family and friends when receiving care. Third, a community may be benefited economically by the presence of a hospital facility because additional jobs are provided, and people from the surrounding area are given increased incentive to come to the town in purchasing other goods. Also, adequate medical services are of importance in attracting new industry into a town. The trend today, however, is away …

Business Development In Rural Communities : Highlights Of Papers Presented : Seventh Agri-Business Day, South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station, Department Of Economics, South Dakota State University

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Agri-Business Day Programs in the past have been devoted to such objectives as explaining characteristics of our rural economy, managing change in the livestock industry and emphasizing the need for economic development. Our primary interest was and continued to be directed toward ways that the economic wellbeing of those living in our rural economy might be improved. We recognize, however, that the welfare of rural families does not depend entirely on their ability to produce and market products grown on the land. It is also tied to the strength of the total economy. The strength of the total economy in …

Some Corporations That Own Farm And Ranch Land In South Dakota, Russell L. Berry

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Concern has developed about large out-of-state corporations that own agricultural land in South Dakota. Fears that such corporations may destroy family farms are often expressed. As a result legislation has been proposed which would prohibit such corporations from farming unless 51 percent of stock is owned by South Dakotans. Do present out-of-state corporations justify such fears? A survey recently made indicates that most out-of-state corporations lease their land to independent farmers. Those few that directly manage their land are not much if any different from the home-grown kind. Most appear to be held and operated by families. The survey was …

Indoor Versus Outdoor Calf Rearing At Three Weaning Ages, Larry J. Jorgenson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In order to be profitable, a dairy herb must have good heifers to meet replacement needs. According to USDA (51), these needs are substantial because 25% of the cows in an average herd must be replaced each year as they no longer return a profit. Meeting these herd replacement needs has long been a serious problem of the dairyman. Nation-wide calf loss estimates ranged between 8 and 25% with an estimated annual loss to the industry of $50 million (10). South Dakota dairymen are not immune to these mortality losses and some studies (28, 52) indicate that their losses may …

A Comparison Of Cheese Yields Produced From Normal And Abnormal Milk, Raymond L. Rennich

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Mastitis has long been a problem to the Dairy Industry. All milk constituents are affected. Abnormal milk usually has a slightly higher total nitrogen and a lower casein content than does normal milk. Since the percent casein is believed to have the greatest influence on the yield of cheese, it is postulated a lower casein content in milk will produce a proportionately smaller amount of cheese for a given volume of milk. Cheese factories presently buy milk on the basis of fat percentage and weight with no regard to the amount of total protein or casein present. Therefore, it would …

Vitamin A In Beef Cattle Feeding, L.B. Embry, L.J. Kortan

Agricultural Experiment Station Animal Husbandry Pamphlets

Vitamin A is essential for all cattle. The vitamin does not occur naturally in feeds of plant origin. Many cattle are never fed vitamin A as such but do not develop a deficiency of the vitamin. The reason for this is that many feeds (pasture, good quality hay, silage, and yellow com) furnish carotene which is converted to vitamin A in the animal body.

Organizing Watersheds In South Dakota, Joseph T. Paulson, Fay Kerr

SDSU Extension Circulars

Wherever you live, you are within a watershed. Your farm, ranch, home on a town lot, or your business in the city are all within the natural boundaries of some watershed. All the lands and waters of the nation are bounded by natural drainage divides. Federal and state watershed acts are intended to help you and your neighbors manage your watershed, conserve the soil, and make better use of the rain where it falls. The Federal act (Public Law 566) provides for technical and financial assistance, whereas the State Watershed Act provides for necessary administration, operations, and management. The state …
