Economies of Size for Conventional Tillage and No-till Wheat Production

Production costs and economies of size for both conventional tillage and no-till wheat production were determined. The reduction in the price of glyphosate after the patent expired improved the relative economics of no-till for continuous monoculture winter wheat. Production costs differ across farm size and by production system.Crop Production/Industries,

AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD FOR ANALYZING FORAGE/LIVESTOCK SYSTEMS

A mixed integer program solves for profit-maximizing forage and beef enterprises. Dry matter, total digestible nutrients, and crude protein characterize livestock nutritional needs and production of warm and cool season forages.Livestock Production/Industries,

EFFECTIVE FARM MANAGEMENT USING COMPUTER ASSISTED TECHNIQUES

A workable system of personalized farm management using computer assisted techniques is presented. Discussed are base data preparation using the budget generator, personalization of base data and other user provided data, the optimizing algorithm (LP-Farm), and output readability and usability. It is both an extension and a professional farm management system

Impact of Wage Rates On Optimal Machinery Complements

The complex problem of choosing optimum machinery complements is approached using mixed integer linear programming. Wage rates and farm size are varied with the resulting optimal complements compared. Higher wage rates cause capital to be substituted for labor and it is evident that machinery costs per acre decrease as farm size is increased
