Feedlot Manure Nutrient Loadings On South Dakota Farmland, Donald Taylor, Diane Rickerl

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

A key determinant of whether livestock manure is an asset or liability in agricultural production and to society more generally is the amount of manure produced relative to the nearby farmland area to which the manure can be economically transported for application. The objectives of the study reported in this article are to (1) estimate levels of manure nutrient (nitrogen = N and phosphorus = P) loadings on the cropland and rangeland associated with 78 feedlot farm operations in South Dakota and (2) determine factors, including size-of-feedlot and cropland hectarages, associated with cropland N and P loadings for the feedlots …

Profitability Of South Dakota's Commercial Banks, C. Lamberton Dec 1995

Profitability Of South Dakota's Commercial Banks, C. Lamberton

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

Over the recent seven year business cycle of 1988-94, South Dakota banks have seen their profitability improve significantly. This has contributed to a strengthening of the banks in the state and in their ability to meet the financial needs of their customers and communities. The data in this report show that while bank earnings have been strong, the gains have not been distributed evenly across banks of all sizes. The data also demonstrate the related differences in loan portfolios among the banks of varying size. This report describes the improved profitability, the sources of the improved profits, and the distribution …

Economics Pamphlet Series (1985-2016)

The overall goal of the SARE/Water Quality project was to determine whether economic incentives offered by recent environmental provisions of Federal farm program are sufficient to induce Western Corn Belt/Northern Plains farmers in environmentally sensitive areas to adopt sustainable fa practices and systems. To attain this goal, four case farms were chosen involved in this study based on their size, soil types, cropping systems, topography, and management in the Big Sioux Aquifer study area. Case Farm No. 2 is located in Moody County and followed a corn-soybean oats rotation on the acres focused on in the analysis prior to enrollment …

Economic And Environmental Contributions Of Wetlands In Agricultural Landscapes, Larry Janssen, Diane Rickerl, Eric Stebbins, Tom Machacek Jul 1995

Economic And Environmental Contributions Of Wetlands In Agricultural Landscapes, Larry Janssen, Diane Rickerl, Eric Stebbins, Tom Machacek

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

The purpose of this project was to determine key environmental and economic relationships between agricultural practices and wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of eastern South Dakota. Water quality and water quantity variables were the key environmental parameters examined. Economic cost and returns by farm management system and wetland proximity were the key economic parameters. The three farm management systems examined were conventional (CON) transitional no-till (TNT), and organic (ORG). The TNT and CON management systems used synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides. The ORG system used no synthetic fertilizers and generally no chemical pesticides. The ORG system had greater …

Organic Versus Sustainable Fed Cattle Production: A South Dakota Case Study, Donald Taylor, Dillion Feuz, Ming Guan May 1995

Organic Versus Sustainable Fed Cattle Production: A South Dakota Case Study, Donald Taylor, Dillion Feuz, Ming Guan

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

This is an exploratory study of "organic11 versus "sustainable" agriculture applied to fed cattle production. Two interrelated premises underlie the study. The paramount factors considered in current certification standards for organic beef production, in our judgment, are (1) protection of animal health and welfare and (2) production of a differentiated product intended to be conducive to consumer health and which, therefore, will command a price premium in the market. Second, we believe the concept of sustainability embraces concerns extending beyond those currently embodied in organic production standards. The theme of organic versus sustainable fed cattle production is examined through development …

Cendak And South Dakota: An Economic Impact Study, Martin Beutler May 1995

Cendak And South Dakota: An Economic Impact Study, Martin Beutler

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

CENDAK is an acronym for the Central South Dakota Water Supply System and is a multi purpose water delivery system which would use Missouri River water from Lake Oahe. The project would service 300,000 acres of farmland. Other potential uses of the project would be for a municipal and industrial water supply system. Economic activity generated from construction of CENDAK is estimated at $911.9 million, providing over 10, 700 temporary, full- and part-time employment opportunities in the 1 O year construction process and in industries which support construction of the project. Annual operation, maintenance, and repair costs of CENDAK would …
