Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 29 (thesis year 1984) a total of 12,637 theses titles from 23 Canadian and 202 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 29 reports theses submitted in 1984, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

This book was released on 1976 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The high feed grain prices of the last few years and the resulting high prices for heavy feeder cattle relative to lightweight feeder calves may provide economic incentives to market cattle from rangelands as yearlings. A majority of the economic studies investigating the profitability of retained ownership of beef calves to sell as yearlings have used a budgeting technique to compare a straight cow-yearling operation retaining all calves, to a straight cow-calf operation selling all calves. In this study linear programming was used to develop an optimum combination of various livestock marketing alternatives for maximizing net ranch income. Two typical Utah ranch sizes (150 and 300 head of brood cows) were modeled and optimum range livestock marketing schemes were developed using linear programming analysis. Based on average Utah cattle prices for 1970-1975 the optimum range livestock management alternatives for both ranch sizes in terms of maximizing net ranch income was to reduce the cow herd 25 percent and use the released feed resources to retain all steer calves for sale as yearlings. Retention of heifer calves was not profitable and they were sold a t weaning. Net ranch income for the optimum strategy was only slightly higher than the income of the base cow-calf operation for the small ranch. The large ranch showed a larger gain in net ranch income from retention of yearlings. The capital requirement of the optimum strategies was three to five percent less than for the base cow-calf operations. A reduction in the size of the breeding herd to accommodate retained yearlings would result in a reduction in the number of feeder livestock marketed. Potential decreases in U. S. beef production from 1 to 4 percent were estimated if 25-100 percent of the ranchers in the 11 western states adopted the optimum management alternative. These reductions would result in an increase in the price of beef in the U. S. of 1 to 6 percent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beef cattle sector has been, and continues to be, the single largest sector in the Kansas agriculture industry, with cattle and calves generating $8.27 billion in cash receipts in 2017 (KDA 2018). In 2017, Kansas produced nearly 5.69 billion pounds of red meat, or nearly 11 percent of the nation's total (KDA 2018). According to estimates prepared by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, beef cattle farming and ranching has a direct output of approximately $6.3 billion. The cow-calf sector is the beginning of the beef industry; therefore, understanding the factors influencing profitability, efficiency, and structure is very important. The objective of this study is to examine the efficiency of beef cow-calf production in Kansas. Technical, allocative, and scale efficiencies of cow-calf operations are estimated, as well as, analysis on the relationship between input costs and efficiency and profitability and efficiency. Beef cow-calf operations vary considerably in size, available resources, profitability, and the use of technology. The variability in profitability suggests room to improve both production and financial management practices. In addition to estimating efficiency measures of cow-calf operations, the study identifies how marketing strategies (selling calves vs. selling feeders) impacts efficiency. This study contributes to the existing literature by estimating efficiencies for cow-calf producers and identifying production characteristics that impact efficiencies, in addition to, introducing the use of super-efficiency in the cow-calf industry segment. The nonparametric Data Envelopment Analysis approach, along with regression analysis, is used to determine how marketing strategies and production characteristics are correlated with efficiency and profitability. The Kansas Farm Management Association data are used in this analysis with cow-calf producers analyzed in two groups based on their marketing strategy (sells calves or sells feeders). Three years of whole-farm and enterprise data are included in the study, with a total of 240 producers selling calves and 264 producers selling feeders between 2018 and 2020. An input orientation is applied including feed, labor, utilities, and veterinary costs. Output is defined as the gross farm income (in dollars). Producers selling feeders were more technically efficient than those selling calves in both 2018 and 2019; however, in 2020, those that sold calves were slightly more technically efficient on average (0.840) than those that sell feeders (0.830). Technical efficiency was relatively more important than scale and allocative efficiency for both marketing strategies across almost all years (one exception in 2020, with producers marketing calves, where the allocative efficiency correlation coefficient was higher than technical). Technical efficiency was relatively more important in explaining profitability than either allocative or scale efficiency. Regressions indicated that a 0.10 increase in pure technical efficiency increases net income per cow by $96. A 0.10 increase in allocative and scale efficiencies increases net income per cow by $48 and $97, respectively. This suggests that producers that are experiencing low (or negative) levels of profitability should concentrate on adjusting the size of their herd relative to reducing input use per unit of output. Labor costs had the most impact on technical and allocative efficiency, while feed costs had the greatest impact on scale efficiency. Suggesting that producers wanting to impact their efficiency should focus on feed and labor costs.
