Labor Inputs For Livestock Enterprises, Sigurd Strangeland
Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)
For all kinds of farm planning input and output data relating to costs, yields and labor requirements are needed. Although labor is a major factor in the cost of producing livestock and livestock products little information is available on this input for South Dakota. Some estimates are available, but these estimates are average labor requirements which are based upon farm records obtained in the Corn Belt. These data may be questioned with respect to representativeness for this state. Also the use of average requirements for all sizes of herds and degrees of mechanization leaves much to be desired for useful …

Variety Every Day With Frozen Foods, Mildred Daniel
SDSU Extension Circulars
The freezing method of preserving food for. future use has been used for many years. Modem frozen foods, if proper methods of handling, packaging and freezing have been used, will be of high nutritive value and show very little change in flavor, color, and texture from that of fresh food. Freezing has advantages over other methods of preservation because foods that are frozen quickly and stored at zero will be more like fresh foods than will foods that have been either canned or dried. Canning has been a very satisfactory method of preserving food, and because of this, freezing should …

Estimated Feed Requirements For Livestock And Poultry, Sigurd Strangeland
Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)
Rapid changes in farm practices, largely caused by labor shortages and favorable price-cost relationships, have characterized South Dakota agriculture during the last decade. These changes have raised the questions as to how well they pay. The farmer is always faced with the problem of determining the profitableness of changes in farm practices. Currently, the dollar value of irrigation, soil conservation practices, and various livestock systems of farming are important problems. How much if any of these practices will pay on a particular farm? The answer to this question depends upon the cost of the practice as compared with the benefit …
Inflation And Deflation, Lyle M. Bender
Inflation And Deflation, Lyle M. Bender
SDSU Extension Circulars
Inflation and deflation are words of many different meanings. They refer to the changes in general price levels. Inflation refers generally to a situation where most prices are rising. On the other hand, deflation refers to a situation in which most prices are falling. In between these two extremes is an "ideal" situation called "stability." In our form of economy fluctuations in general price levels are normal. Inflation may be more carefully defined as a situation where the number of dollars spent increases faster than the goods and services produced. In this case, prices will rise. The opposite situation, deflation, …

If the economist is to aid the farmer and the action programs, an insight to the question posed above …
