Resource Management Decision Support Tools - Brief Model Descriptions, Campbell White & Associates Pty Ltd

Farm Systems and Economics published reports

During the past 10 years, a number of financial models have been developed within Agriculture Western Australia to assist decision making in resource management. Various approaches have been taken including whole farm, development and partial budgets.

Natural resource managers within Agriculture Western Australia, have identified a need to preserve these decision support systems in a central library. The models should be readily accessible to new staff, and the library should provide an 'engine' through which the models can be promoted, and information relating their application distributed. Recent technology such as the development and mainstream adoption of the World Wide Web …

Application Of Fuzzy Set Technique To Agricultural Planning, S Kumar, Narasingh Misra, B C Ghosh

IIMB Management Review

In India, agriculture remains the dominant sector of economic activity with 74 percent work force depending on it. But the share of income from agriculture sector is less than the employment in it. Also the menace of unemployment and food requirement is increasing with growing population. Hence , there is a great need for increasing production and net profit levels on one hand and employment generation on the other. Irrigation planning plays an .mportant role in increasing agricultural production, net benefit, employment generation etc. as only 32 percent of the total cultivated area is irrigated in our country. Irrigation Planning …

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

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

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.

Agriculture Policy Decisions: A Perspective From South Dakota Farmers And Ranchers, Larry Janssen, Mark Edelman

Economics Research Reports (1969 - 2017)

Federal government policies greatly affect farmers and ranchers. Most South Dakota farmers and ranchers favor changes in the process used to make farm policy decisions but are split on the desirable future direction of farm commodity programs. A majority of producers favor existing or modified loan rate, target price, and farmer owned grain reserve program but are sharply divided on payment-in-kind (PIK) programs. Most producers favor the market growth provided by world trade but are not willing to give up minimum trade barriers, these barriers provide some cushion from the instability caused by international trade system. In addition, farmers are …

Small Farmers' Cooperatives In Brazil, 1964-1984 Reasons For Success Or Failure, Henry H. Gerber

Graduate Program in International Studies Theses & Dissertations

This study is concerned with cooperative business enterprises of small farmers. The topic has been chosen because peasants' association in supply and marketing cooperatives is considered an essential element in rural development. The author's field experience leads him to agree in principle with this assumption. But, as exemplified by Brazil, a variety of factors (ecological, sociohistorical, legal, economic and so forth) may hinder or help the inception and survival of cooperatives.

Thus, if a government aims at integrating the small producer into the national economy as supplier and consumer (as in Brazil), measures to implement t~is policy must not be …

The Changing Structure Of South Dakota Agriculture, Larry Janssen, Mark Edelman

Economics Research Reports (1969 - 2017)

The purpose of this report is to present and analyze recent structural trends in South Dakota Agriculture and to outline major implications of these trends.

Implementation Of A Microprocessor Based Accounting System For Agricultural Uses, Herbert Allen, Duane Sander, James Beals

Economics Research Reports (1969 - 2017)

This study has demonstrated the feasibility of using microcomputers on the farm or in the home to solve problems involving manipulation of large quantities of data or detailed mathematical procedures. A microcomputer with at least 32,000 words of memory and magnetic disk storage is recommended for efficient data processing. This capacity is required for programs of the type presented in this publication. A printer with at least an 80 character line is an essential feature. It is frequently necessary to have hard copy printouts of financial statements or cash flows in order to document the farm financial position. Programs may …

Financial Operations Of The Agricultural Credit Corporation In Jordan, Nureddin A. Taqieddin

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Agriculture is the backbone of Jordan's economy. It provides employment and a living for 40 per cent or more of the total population. However, very few farmers have accumulated enough capital to finance their farm operations from planting to harvest. The Agricultural Credit Corporation was established to provide farmers with credit at a relatively low cost. Without the low cost loans many farmers cannot stay on their farms. The Agricultural Credit Corporation is the most important agency in terms of the direct help it offers to farmers.

The Agricultural Credit Corporation has followed a policy of making loans at a …

Comparisons And Effects Of Assessing Agricultural Land According To Market Value Versus Agricultural Value For Taxing Purposes, Salt Lake County, Utah, 1967, Fred Degiorgio

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A sample of agricultural parcels in Salt Lake County, Utah was analyzed to determine the effects on assessed values and per acre taxes under alternative assessment methods; assessment according to market value or agricultural value (preferential treatment).

The assessed value changes and tax shifting between all classes of taxable property in the county were calculated with and without the preferential assessment of agricultural land and at assessment levels equalized for all classes.

Variations in assessed value, agricultural and market values and assessment ratios were analyzed for the parcels in the sample by location and size of the parcel, present use, …

A History Of The War Service Land Settlement Scheme Western Australia, A, R. Barrett

Farm Systems and Economics published reports

In writing a history of the Western Australian War Service Land Settlement Scheme, it is pertinent to remark that land settlement projects have ever been difficult and, in fact, to date very few have been really successful. However, there has always been the necessity to accede to the desire of returning men to go on the land, also in States such as Western Australia there was and still is the need for further land development. Therefore, when the Commonwealth Government offered to provide the funds for servicemen's rehabilitation on the land the State gladly accepted and agreed to take responsibility …

Agriculture In Western Australia. 3. The Economic Potential Of The Wongan-Ballidu Shire. Part 1, G D. Oliver, A. W. Hogstrom

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

IN West Australian agriculture there is a considerable "backlog" of information available to farmers which is not being used in practical farming. This, of course, is true of agricultural industries anywhere in the world.

This "backlog" results in a big difference in productivity between the best farms and the "average" farms in each district.

This article is a simple economic study of the potential of one shire of Western Australia.

The Economic Potential Of The Wongan-Ballidu Shire. Part 2. Costs And Returns, G D. Oliver, A. W. Hogstrom

In this second and final part the financial returns likely to accrue to the shire and the individual farmers as a result of these increases are discussed.
