Quantitative Appraisal Of Non-Irrigated Cropland In South Dakota, Shelby Riggs

Honors Theses

This appraisal attempts to remove subjectivity from the appraisal process and replace it with quantitative analysis of known data to generate a fair market value of the subject property. Two methods of appraisal were used, the income approach and the comparable sales approach. For the income approach, I used the average cash rent for the region, the current property taxes for the subject property, and a capitalization rate based on Stokes' (2018) capitalization rate formula to arrive at my income-based valuation. For the comparable sales approach, I utilized Stokes' (2018) research in optimization modeling to estimate a market value for …

A Case Study Of Changing Cropping Diversity And Agricultural Risk In The Doulthabad Mandal Of Telangana State In India, Srikanth Kondabolu

School of Natural Resources: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

The Doulthabad^[1] Mandal is a hot semi-arid agro-ecological sub-region (Rao et al. 2006) located in Mahbubnagar District on the North Telangana Plateau in the state of Telangana. Agriculture is the main occupation in this region, which is populated mostly with small and marginal farmers. This study uses the time period from 1971 to 2004 to study the variation in cropping pattern diversity and distribution of rainfall during the monsoons and understand the implications on production risk in agriculture. Quantitative methods were used in determining the changes in rainfall while qualitative methods were used to study cropping system changes. The …

Commodity-Specific Effective Exchange Rates For U.S. Agriculture, Emilio Pagoulatos, Azzeddine Azzam

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

A number of commodity-specific effective exchange rates of relevance to U.S. agriculture have been constructed. It is hoped that data presented in this study will be of use to researchers investigating the interrelationships between the dollar exchange rate and agricultural trade. An examination of the variability properties of the various agricultural trade-weighted exchange rate indices suggests that in modeling the agricultural trade-exchange rate relationship, the volatility of the exchange rate should be considered along with its level as explanatory variables.

The Tax System Of Nebraska With Special Reference To Its Relation To Agriculture, L. B. Snyder

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Progress in governmental affairs calls for constant study of matters pertaining to government. The recent agitation for moratoria on debts and taxes and the many tax reforms suggested are evidence of the need for such study. Before satisfactory reforms can be made, information on receipts and expenditures by governmental agencies must be secured. The expense connected with collecting, tabulating, and analyzing such data has prevented private agencies of the state from doing this. Because it was felt that such information would be useful and could be obtained by the College of Agriculture, this study was undertaken.

Effects Of Inflation And Deflation Upon Nebraska Agriculture, 1914 To 1932, H. Clyde Filley

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

This study attempts to give the effects of war-time inflation and the subsequent deflation upon Nebraska agriculture. It presents statistical evidence of what happened. It is too late to prevent the present depression. Information concerning the situation may aid in promoting recovery. It is hoped that a knowledge of the inflation of 1916 to 1920 and the depression following may aid in avoiding the making of similar errors in the future.
