Cropland Diversion Programs And Rural Nonfarm Population Change, Evert Van Der Sluis, Willis Peterson Feb 1998

Cropland Diversion Programs And Rural Nonfarm Population Change, Evert Van Der Sluis, Willis Peterson

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

Data from 100 farming-dependent counties in the U.S. are used to measure the impact of acreage reduction programs on the level of the rural nonfarm population. Results of a simultaneous equation model suggest that the programs had a negative influence on the number of rural nonfarm people, reducing the rural nonfarm population in these counties by an estimated 15 to 22 percent over the 1960-90 period.

Factors Influencing Cash Marketing Decisions For Fed Cattle, Scott Fausti, Steve Schamber, Dwight Adamson Jan 1998

Factors Influencing Cash Marketing Decisions For Fed Cattle, Scott Fausti, Steve Schamber, Dwight Adamson

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

The reason for the failure of individual carcass-based pricing systems to supplant average-price-based pricing systems in the cash market for fed cattle remains unresolved. Competing hypotheses in the literature associated with this issue are empirically tested using survey data collected on the marketing behavior of cattle producers.

Changes In Eastern South Dakota Crops Patterns: 1950s To 1990s, Thomas L. Dobbs, Lisa M. Carr

Economics Pamphlet Series (1985-2016)

This report contains background data for a study on possible impacts of the 1996 Farm Bill ("Federal Agricultural Improvement and Reform Act of 1996") on crop system diversity. The study, being conducted by the Economics Department at South Dakota State University (SDSU), is focused on the 7-county area of eastern South Dakota shown in the map on the following page. This area constitutes a major portion of the Big Sioux River drainage area in South Dakota. The aquifer underlying the Big Sioux River in these counties provides drinking water for a significant portion of the State's population. Therefore, agricultural practices …

Value Based Marketing For Fed Cattle: A Discussion Of The Issues, Scott Fausti, Steve Schamber, Dwight Adamson Apr 1997

Value Based Marketing For Fed Cattle: A Discussion Of The Issues, Scott Fausti, Steve Schamber, Dwight Adamson

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

Beef demand in the United States began to weaken relative to the demand for pork and poultry in the 1970s. The literature offers two possible explanations: 1) the lifestyles explanation; and 2) the relative-price explanation. Barkema and Drabenstott (1990) review the literature concerning the market share issue and concisely outline the two possible explanations: "The lifestyle argument suggests that consumers chose to eat less beef due to health concerns and changes in lifestyles. The relative-prices explanation suggests consumers switched from beef to poultry because beef became relatively more expensive than poultry." The issue of improving beefs competitiveness against other domestic …

Relative Profitability And Production Costs Of Post-Crp Alternative Land Uses In South Dakota, Larry Janssen, Martin Beutler, Luarel Venuiszen Feb 1997

Relative Profitability And Production Costs Of Post-Crp Alternative Land Uses In South Dakota, Larry Janssen, Martin Beutler, Luarel Venuiszen

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

South Dakota (SD) has 2.06 million acres of CRP land with contracts expiring from 1996 - 2002. These CRP lands are 10.5% of cropland acres and 4.6% of land in farms in South Dakota. The major objective is to determine relative profitability of alternative crop and forage uses of post-contract CRP lands in different regions of South Dakota. Crop and forage per acre net returns were heavily influenced by relative productivity of CRP lands. The relative productivity of average CRP land compared to all cropland varies from 76% to 95% in eastern and central SD to 89% - 103% of …

Economic Impact Analysis Of Post-Crp Policy Options In South Dakota, Luarel Venuiszen, Martin Beutler, Larry Janssen

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

The primary objective of the study was to determine the major economic impacts on South Dakota of alternative future CRP decisions. Three steps were followed to find the economic impacts. First, the relative productivity differences between South Dakota CRP land and South Dakota crop land were determined. County Soil Survey Books and NRCS conservationists provided the necessary information for this step's completion. The second step determined the profitability of post-CRP land uses by sub-state region for three post-CRP policy options. CARE budgeting was employed using relative productivity information to find crop/forage net returns under full CRP, reduced CRP, and no …

Potential For Cost-Share Policies To Improve Groundwater Quality Without Reducing Farm Profits, Thomas Dobbs, John Bischoff Dec 1996

Potential For Cost-Share Policies To Improve Groundwater Quality Without Reducing Farm Profits, Thomas Dobbs, John Bischoff

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

The Federal Agricultural Improvement and Reform Act (FAIR) of reinforced the Federal government's commitment to environmental aspects of farm policy that received major attention in 1985 legislation and reinforcement in 1990. All three pieces of legislation placed emphasis on incentive and cost-share policies to reduce adverse soil and water effects of farming practices. A major initiative under FAIR is the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), for which $1.3 billion is authorized over 7 years to provide cost-share or incentive payment contracts with crop and livestock producers for environmental and conservation improvements (Young and Shields, 1996). In part, this program is …

Ecological Balance On Individual Crop-Livestock Farms: An Idealistic Notion Or Also Practically Feasible?, Donald Taylor, Diane Rickerl

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

The following research question is examined in this article: Can one or more of eight case study integrated crop and cow-calf farms/ranches in South Dakota be simultaneously "balanced" from the standpoints of (1) amounts of manure produced "matching" (plus or minus 10%) the soil fertility needs of producers' cropland and rangeland and (2) amounts of feed-grains and roughages produced "matching" (plus or minus 10%) the nutrient needs of producers' livestock? The livestock manure production-utilization component of the study involves estimation and comparison of amounts of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) (1) available to crops and grass in the manure produced …
