Agricultural Policy In The Years Ahead, Clayton K. Yeutter

Clayton K. Yeutter, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Papers

The whole basis for U.S. agricultural policy is changing.

Agricultural policy in the years just behind us has been dominated by the technological revolution in agriculture. Beginning with the late 1920's, new technology that had a tremendous impact on productivity and employment began to enter farming. The gasoline tractor and hybrid corn were just a couple of the new developments that helped move farming out of the horsepowered era and into the nuclear ago.

Environmental Problem: An Economic Viewpoint And Humanistic Solution, Michael Robert Currie

Senior Scholar Papers

Economics deals with wealth, which is essential in allowing people to maintain their activities. Wealth is produced by human effort, guided by science, mediated by technology, governed by the economic system, and exerted through the environment . That a problem exists in our environment is clear from the observable stress on our natural ecosystems. Our water has been fouled, Lake Erie is dead, our air has been sufficiently poisoned in many urban areas to be classified as dangerous to health, and in general there exists the threat that the natural systems which support our lives may collapse. Although certain statistics, …

Determinants Of Population Migration For The State Of New Mexico., William H. Perry

Economics ETDs

A review of the professional literature on migration written in the past decade suggests that motivation for migration is a composite of interrelated economic, geographical, and social factors. Economic factors are generally believed to be of primary importance and of first consideration when an individual contemplates relocating. It is assumed that the migrant is maximizing his household desires and aquisitions while keeping within the parameters of the family income or budget. If he can improve or increase this income, then he can reach a new maximization level under the new constraints. Thus, to continue to maximize the environment desirability for …

Utah has been divided into ten drainage regions (hydrologic subregions) and the presently irrigated and potentially irrigable land according to land class was estimated for each county or portion of a county within each …

The Fresh-Water Mussel Industry Of The Lower Tennessee River: Ecology & Future, Randall Grace

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The fresh-water mussel industry of the Tennessee River is nearing an end. Overharvesting, habitat alterations, and pollution are the major contributors to the depletion of the mussel resource, upon which the shell industry is based. A history of unconcern by shell harvesters and weak conservation enforcement by governmental agencies, has left the major waterways of the United States nearly void of commercial clams. The lower Tennessee River presently supplies the mussel industry with nearly all the important species of mollusks. If this industry is to be maintained in the United States, ways to preserve and propagate the mussel population must …
