FEED PROCUREMENT METHODS FOR SOUTHEASTERN MINNESOTA DAIRY FARMS: A COMPARISON USING LP ANALYSIS

The principal objective of this study is to determine the financial impacts of changing feed procurement strategies for a specified southeastern Minnesota dairy farm. Growing all feed for the dairy herd on the farm itself, currently the most prominent mode of procurement, is compared to: (1) producing all forage and purchasing all concentrate feeds from others, and (2) purchasing all feeds from others. The effect of herd size on the comparisons is considered to determine if size has a bearing on the chosen method of feed procurement.Livestock Production/Industries,

COMPARATIVE COSTS OF DAIRY MARKETING IN NORWAY AND THE U.S.

Technical marketing efficiency is an important component of comparative advantage that countries may possess in food marketing. This aspect of marketing efficiency may be affected by size of market(s), technology used, input costs, and institutional factors. With regard to the latter, Norwegian policy makers have asked whether the extensive regulation and monopolization by a single processing cooperative in the Norwegian dairy sector have resulted in technical inefficiency that leads to excessive costs of milk marketing. Excessive marketing costs could have three important impacts; increased prices for domestic consumers, reduced prices for farmers, and reduced competitiveness in international markets. International competitiveness is critical for Norway as it considers or is considered for admission to the European Community and as trade liberalization proceeds under the GATT. The purpose of this analysis was to develop and apply a method for comparing marketing costs between countries to provide some insight into relative marketing efficiency between countries.Livestock Production/Industries,
