Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)
The desire for secure tenure in ownership of land has given rise to the associated ideal of the family farm. Implementation of this ideal has been one aspect of political and governmental agricultural policy through out our national life. Although federal agricultural policies and legislation have not always been consistently directed' toward this end, Congress has frequently extended federal assistance in one form or another in support of this ideal. Federal assistance for this purpose has most often come during periods of agricultural distress when demands upon Congress for such assistance have been great.

Labor Inputs For Livestock Enterprises, Sigurd Strangeland
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.

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 …

Agricultural Productive Capacity 1955 South Dakota, South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station
Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)
Our agricultural resources have a strategic role to play in the present mobilization effort. Even a partial military mobilization calls for a large increase in food.

Estimates of our agricultural productive capacity are needed to determine whether such capacity is great enough to meet future needs and to help the nation make wise decisions concerning such vital questions as these: 1.
