Feeding The Dairy Herd For Profit, R. A. Cave, D. F. Breazeale, Chase Wilson, Ervin Kurtz, Emery Bartle

SDSU Extension Circulars

Dairy cows, in order to make milk in large quantities, must be supplied with liberal amounts of the raw material from which milk can be made. That means good feed. The average production of South Dakota milk cows for the year 1952 was 4170 pounds of milk and 156 pounds of butterfat. Much of this relativ~ly low production is due to poor feed and lack of enough feed. Production and feed records shown in Table IV - page 25 reveal that one way to get increased production is to give the cows more feed. Feed is the greatest single item …

SDSU Extension Circulars

The modern homemaker has a bewildering number of new fibers, blends, mixtures, and new finishes for cotton and wool to choose from in clothing her family. How to care for each article of clothing so that it will stay attractive and wearable presents a real problem since so many fabrics and finishes are unfamiliar. In this circular we will discuss ( 1) care of fabrics made from the well known fibers which need to be handled differently because of new finishes, (2) care of fabrics made from the several man-made fibers, i.e.: rayon, acetate, nylon, orlon, acrilan, dynel, dacron and …

Fertilizer Recommendations For S.D. Crops, Leo F. Puhr, Fred E. Shubeck, Leonard L. Ladd, Merle E. Switzer

SDSU Extension Circulars

The use of fertilizer is rapidly becoming recognized as an essential part of a good soil management program. Fertilizers, however, are not a substitute for other well established soil management practices. A good rotation is the foundation of a sound fertility and soil building program. Commercial fertilizer should be used to correct the plant food deficiencies that normally occur under our best soil management systems. It should be emphasized that the fullest use be made of legumes and grasses, crop residues and. manure to maintain the organic matter supply of the soil and to reduce the amount of fertilizer required …

Agricultural Production Trends In South Dakota, Robert J. Antonides

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Many South Dakotans who are concerned with agriculture in the State have been interested in obtaining some means of comparing agricultural production over the years. Total income from agricultural products sold gives a very rough estimate of trends, but does not take into account the many other farm products which are not sold but used on the farm. The indexes presented here account for all of the output of the farms of South Dakota with the exception of some very minor crops and farm gardens. The present study is the first attempt to combine all of the various types of …

Feeding Minerals To Livestock Important, Lawrence B. Embry

Agricultural Experiment Station Animal Husbandry Pamphlets

Minerals have many important functions in the body and their needs in livestock rations have been known for many years. Bone and teeth are composed chiefly of minerals which are necessary for their proper growth and development. In addition to these functions, minerals are necessary constituents of soft tissue and body fluids and play important roles in the regulation of body processes. In spite of the known need for minerals for a long time, much remains to be learned about specific requirements, mineral content of feeds, mineral balances and factors affecting these. It is recognized that the requirements of an …

Estimating Commercial Expansion From Irrigation Development In The Oahe Unit, John Thompson, Ottar Nervik

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Commercial activity in an economy that is predominantly agricultural is very sensitive to changes in fanning conditions. It is generally agreed by businessmen in agricultural areas that the success of their business operation is largely dependent upon the number and prosperity of farmers in their trade areas. For this reason business men often encourage proposals to increase the number of farms in their trade areas and support measures designed to improve the economic position of farmers. In South Dakota, where rainfall is considered a limiting factor in agricultural production, considerable interest has been taken in irrigation as a, means for …

Farm Labor, Power And Machinery Performance For Selected Operations Under Dryland And Irrigated Conditions In Central South Dakota, James Ulvilden

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

The problems of farm managers are everlasting. They are constantly in the process of examining alternative methods of production and alter native combinations of resources in an attempt to attain a higher and more stable income. For this farm planning, a vast amount of physical data on the cost and returns of alternative plans is needed. It is important that the physical data be as accurate as possible, because the farm plan is no better than the information upon which it is based. Technological progress has been very rapid in agriculture and thus it is important to keep up with …
