MANAGEMENT EFFECTS OF SPATIALLY DISPERSED LAND TRACTS: A SIMULATION ANALYSIS
A sequential simulation model is used to test a way to study the relationship between net farm income and land tract dispersion, total acres, machinery size and rainfall. The model simulates the day-to-day sequence of field work on a hypothetical farm simulation varying crop acreage, machinery size and for a wet and dry rainfall situation. Data generated by this model are then analyzed using a regression equation estimating the influence of studied variables on net farm income.Land Economics/Use,

A MICROCOMPUTER MODEL FOR IRRIGATION SYSTEM EVALUATION
ICEASE (Irrigation Cost Estimator and System Evaluator) is a microcomputer model designed and developed to meet the need for conducting economic evaluation of adjustments to irrigation systems and management techniques to improve the use of irrigated water. ICEASE can calculate the annual operating costs for irrigation systems and has five options that can be used to economically evaluate improvements in the pumping plant or the way the irrigation system is used for crop production.Crop Production/Industries,
