A Rate/Cost Analysis Of Nebraska Meat Trucking Activities With Livestock Trucking Cost Comparisons, Dale G. Anderson, Wayne W. Budt
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
This study was designed to measure costs of long-distance shipment of meat by motor carrier. Costs were compared with published rates for meat shipments by truck, rail and trailer-on-flatcar (TOFC). Finally, meat trucking costs were compared with costs of trucking meat-equivalent amounts of livestock. Results of the study provide a partial basis for evaluating the economic merits of expanded livestock production activities in grain-surplus Great Plains locations. Such an expansion might aid in the economic development of the region and ease the chronic problem of rail freight-car supply. Proposals ranging from extension of present regulation to cover livestock trucking to …

Place Discrimination In Rail Shipments Of Wheat From Great Plains Origins, Dale G. Anderson, Brian L. Mariska
Place Discrimination In Rail Shipments Of Wheat From Great Plains Origins, Dale G. Anderson, Brian L. Mariska
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The purpose of this study was to determine whether shipments of wheat by railroad from Nebraska and other Great Plains States are discriminated against relative to shipments from other wheat producing states and regions. Primary objectives were: (1) To develop a technique for measuring place discrimination (2) To employ the technique in testing empirical data for evidence of discrimination (3) To analyze the results and explore implications for geographically-separated wheat shippers.

Sales Value And Assessed Value Of Nebraska Farm Land: 1921-1934, Eleanor H. Hinman
Sales Value And Assessed Value Of Nebraska Farm Land: 1921-1934, Eleanor H. Hinman
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
How to secure just and equitable estimates of the value of farm land as a basis for taxation has always been a vexatious problem. The existing assessment law in Nebraska went into effect April 1, 1921. The present study attempts to show how the assessed valuations of farm real estate made under that law compare with the actual sales value of the farms sold during the 13 years ending March 31, 1934. The data used in this study include records of 35,753 tracts of farm land in 93 Nebraska counties sold during the 13 years ending March 31, 1934.
