Deforestation For Pasture Development – Has It Been Worth It?, W. H. Burrows
Deforestation For Pasture Development – Has It Been Worth It?, W. H. Burrows
IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)
Differing scenarios leading to deforestation for pasture development in savanna (woodland) and closed forest communities in the tropics – sub-tropics are compared and contrasted. Australian and Brazilian examples are highlighted. No simple answer is given to the question of whether deforestation for pasture development has been worth it, since both commercial and non-commercial values have equal validity and need to be taken into account. These issues are addressed in the context of land assigned by governments for agricultural purposes. It is concluded that technology and ecological understanding are now available to maintain sustainable production from converted forest systems. However emphasis …
Contract Grazing Of Young Beef Cattle On Ryegrass In The Southeastern Usa, David I. Bransby
Contract Grazing Of Young Beef Cattle On Ryegrass In The Southeastern Usa, David I. Bransby
IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)
The objective of this study was to evaluate contract grazing (in which the landowner grazes cattle owned by someone else for a specified fee) as an alternative to traditional ownership of the cattle, in order to improve profitability of grazing young beef cattle on annual ryegrass under limited availability of operating capital in the southeastern USA. Production data from a two-year grazing experiment were used as a basis for an economic analysis which assumed market prices for the beef industry in the region. Return/ha over animal and pasture costs was $312.20 for contract grazing, and $477.50 for purchased cattle. However, …

Exploring Optimal Lockdown Policies During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Cameron Bundy
Symposium Of University Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
COVID-19 has impacted public and economic health worldwide. To bolster the economy and maintain human life, economic and epidemiological research is vital. Nations have implemented lockdowns intent on slowing the spread of the virus. This research examines how lockdown parameter adjustments can help control a nations fatalities. The study incorporated an SIRD disease model that is simulated over a 200 day period. The goal of the research is to take the SIRD model and use it to create a minimization function that analyzes dynamics that best produce minimal loss of GDP as well as low loss of life in a …
