Structure Of Employment In South Dakota's Manufacturing And Processing Sector, Thomas Dobbs, Sui Shan Au Yeung, Robert M. Dimit
Economics Research Reports
The descriptive research reported in this publication was part of a larger study carried out in South Dakota State University's Economics Department from 1978 through 1982 on rural industrial development in South Dakota. Factors influencing rural industrial development at the local level were reported in Goeken and Goeken and Dobbs. A Master of Science Research Paper in Sociology by Au Yeung drew and reported on some of the data contained in the present publication. The Sociology Research Paper also contained an examination of the effects of industrial development on local population changes in South Dakota.

Public Officials' And New Members' Perceptions Of Impacts Of Selected Rural Water Systems, Ardelle Lundeen
Economics Research Reports
Research was conducted by the Economics Department at SDSU in conjunction with the Water Resources Institute and the North Central Regional Center for Rural Development to determine perceptions of the extent of the impacts of rural water systems in selected regions of the state. Aspects of the re search were embodied in two studies. As part of a case study of the Brookings- Deuel Rural Water System (BDRWS), a random sample of area residents and public officials was personally interviewed. In another research project involving the Lincoln County Rural Water System (LCRWS) and the Randall Community Water District (RCWD), public …
Alternative Crops For Ethanol Fuel Production: Agronomic, Processing, And Economic Considerations, Thomas Dobbs, Duane Auch, Randy Hoffman, William R. Gibbons
Alternative Crops For Ethanol Fuel Production: Agronomic, Processing, And Economic Considerations, Thomas Dobbs, Duane Auch, Randy Hoffman, William R. Gibbons
Economics Research Reports
This report is a result of the fuel alcohol research team's broadened focus during 1983. A comprehensive literature review was carried out to explore alternative starch and sugar crop alternatives for ethanol fuel production. Although the literature search was quite inclusive with respect to geographic regions, special emphasis was given to the agronomic and economic potential of various fuel alcohol crops in the Northern Plains region of the U.S., of which South Dakota is a part, and in LDCs of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Our intent was to thereby determine possible energy crops deserving of more fuel alcohol research …

Agronomy, Horticulture, and Plant Science Publications
Crop performance and climatic records were collated for high production counties in South Dakota to evaluate the effects of temperature and precipitation on yields. The crops involved were corn, soybeans, sorghum, oats, spring wheat, and winter wheat. Records were compared for the period from 1965 to 1982. The computer data file for each county includes seven climatic parameters, dates of plant development, adjusted yield-and yield rank by year. The crop/climate record for the 17-year period was evaluated in sixteen counties per crop each year. Thus, 272 county x year observations were made for each crop, except for soybeans which involved …
