Optimal Farm Organizations For Irrigated Farms In South Central Nebraska, M. D. Skold, A. W. Epp
Optimal Farm Organizations For Irrigated Farms In South Central Nebraska, M. D. Skold, A. W. Epp
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins
This report discusses some adjustment opportunities on irrigated farms in south central Nebraska. Six types of farms are defined depending on the amount of irrigated land and farm size. Profit maximizing farm organizations are computed for nine sets of product prices. The organizations are conditioned by 1961 available resource supplies. Available resources can be reallocated among enterprises to achieve the most profitable organizations.

There are many forces operating in today's agricultural economy which cause farmers to examine carefully their patterns of resource allocation. Rising production costs coupled with downward tendencies in product prices focuses attention on efficient patterns of resource allocation. Technical change and changing resource and product price relationships affect efficient resource allocation patterns. This study considers possible efficient farm organizations available to farmers in southeastern Nebraska with given resources. The study determines profit maximizing farm plans for farm classes with different complements of resources and at alternative product price levels. Both crop and livestock enterprises are considered. Investment activities that generate …
The Economics Of Classifying Farmland Between Alternative Uses, Roger H. Willsie
The Economics Of Classifying Farmland Between Alternative Uses, Roger H. Willsie
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins
At present some farm programs are aimed at reducing the acreage of land used for crop production. These programs have the objectives of reducing quantities of certain farm commodities and conserving land resources. By shifting land from the production of certain farm commodities to other commodities or to grass, total farm income may be raised and the costs of farm price support and storage programs reduced. In programs to shift land use a classification of land based on economic criteria would be useful. The primary concern of this study was with methods for identifying the economic margin between land uses; …

Several years ago, members of the NCM-19 Technical Committee on grain marketing research decided to do more detailed research on the spatial aspects of the livestock-feed economy. The major objectives of this study are (1) to quantify the demand functions for the major animal products of agriculture at the retail level, (2) to derive the demand functions for the unprocessed forms at the farm level, (3) to derive the equilibrium demand functions for feed concentrates at the farm level, (4) to estimate the separate annual impact rates of trends in per capita income, marketing costs, conversion rates, and population on …
