VALUATION OF NEW SPRING WHEAT VARIETIES: TRADEOFFS FOR GROWERS AND END-USERS (SUMMARY)
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dahl,   Bruce L.; Wilson,   William W.; Johnson,   D. Demcey; Nganje,   William E.
Variety release decisions involve a number of tradeoffs, usually between grower and end-user characteristics as well as significant uncertainties about agronomic, quality, and economic variables.  In this study, methodologies were developed to value tradeoffs for grower and end-user characteristics for wheat.  The models capture effects of variability in agronomic, quality, and economic variables.   The models were applied for three experimental varieties which have since been released and for two hypothetical varieties.  Results indicate two of the experimental varieties provide improvements in grower and end-use value over most of the incumbents.   Comparison of a risk adjusted portfolio model consisting of characteristics of end-use and grower values...

COUNTY LEVEL TAXABLE AGRICULTURAL LAND VALUES IN NORTH DAKOTA: COMPARING THE GROSS REVENUE APPROACH WITH VALUES BASED ON RENTAL VALUES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Aakre,   Dwight G.; Haugen,   Ronald H.
Land values calculated with the current North Dakota agricultural land valuation model were compared with values calculated by capitalizing the average cash rent for each county. Results showed there was a significant difference in cropland values, but there was no significant difference in non-cropland values.  Land values for the 2000, 2001, and 2002 assessments were compared.

Evaluation of Breakeven Farm-gate Switchgrass Prices in South Central North Dakota
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bangsund,   Dean A.; DeVuyst,   Eric A.; Leistritz,   F. Larry.
Switchgrass, a warm-season perennial grass, native to the region, has received considerable interest for its potential role as a dedicated feedstock for cellulosic-based bio-fuels.  This research examined the farm-gate price needed for switchgrass to provide per-acre net returns equal to those obtained from traditional crops in south central North Dakota.    Future production costs for switchgrass and net returns from traditional crops were estimated for three soil productivity classes and also were developed to reflect the historical revenue and cost patterns associated with producers who are typically more or less profitable (i.e., average net return per acre) than regional averages.  Prices were calculated using an annualized equivalent analysis of...

CHARACTERISTICS, EXPENDITURES, AND ECONOMIC IMPACT OF RESIDENT AND NONRESIDENT HUNTERS AND ANGLERS IN NORTH DAKOTA, 1996-97, SEASON AND TRENDS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lewis,   Tina D.; Leitch,   Jay A.; Meyer,   Aaron J.
Wildlife-related recreation is an important source of economic activity in North Dakota.  Using primary, survey-based data, the expenditures and economic impacts of hunters and anglers were summarized for the 1996 hunting/fishing seasons.  Total resident and nonresident expenditures (including cost of licenses and additional nonresident expenditures not related to hunting/angling) came to $594 million.  Almost $144 million of total expenditures was spent in rural areas by nonresidents and urban residents.  Resident and nonresident hunters and anglers generated $1.6 billion in total business activity, $250 million in retail trade sales, $393 million in personal income, and supported over 21,000 jobs.  These results suggest that North Dakota's resident and...

Autores: Bangsund,   Dean A.; Leistritz,   F. Larry.
Community hospital administrators in North Dakota were surveyed to determine the amount and type of expenditures made to North Dakota entities in 1997.  Estimates of net revenues retained within the state were also solicited.  Forty-two of the 44 community hospitals in the state responded.  Economic activity from hospitals in the state was divided into two groups--community hospitals and all hospitals.  In-state expenditures for Federal and Native American facilities were generated from survey results. Expenditures and returns (direct impacts) from community hospitals in the state were about $832 million in 1997.  When the six military, Veteran, state, and tribal hospitals were included, industry-wide direct impacts increased to $904 million. Input-output...

Autores: Sell,   Randall S.; Bangsund,   Dean A.; Leistritz,   F. Larry.
The commercial bison industry is relatively new to North Dakota.  There were an estimated 23,000 head of bison in North Dakota in 1998, and these animals were found in 47 of 53 counties.  The purpose of this study was to estimate the economic contribution of the bison industry to the North Dakota economy.  A survey of North Dakota bison producers and processors was conducted to provide estimates of direct impacts of bison activities within the state.  Secondary economic impacts were determined using the North Dakota Input-Output Model.  The direct impact of production and processing of bison in North Dakota in 1998 was estimated at $23 million.  The $23 million in direct impacts generated an additional $47 million in secondary impacts within the state. The...

NORTH DAKOTA HOUSEHOLDS' ATTITUDES TOWARD WETLAND PRESERVATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Leitch,   Jay A.; Hirsch,   Steven A.
Over one-half (57%) of the 1,757 respondents to a random survey of North Dakota households agree that all remaining natural wetlands in the state should be preserved.  Nearly two- thirds (63%) of the respondents support compensating landowners for preserving wetlands. However, the amount most respondents were willing to pay landowners was $10 or less per year.  Over one-third (38%) of the respondents used wetlands for outdoor recreation.  Responses were somewhat related to socioeconomic characteristics such as age, gender, income, education, and place of residence.

Potential Economic Effects of Post-CRP Land Management in Southwest North Dakota
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bangsund,   Dean A.; Hodur,   Nancy M.; Leistritz,   F. Larry; Nudell,   Daniel J.
The uncertain future of the Conservation Reserve Program has created substantial interest for agricultural producers, rural businesses, community leaders, sportsmen, and wildlife organizations. Many regions of the upper Great Plains have participated heavily in the CRP as evidenced by program acreage reaching land enrollment limits; however, current enrollment and re-enrollment criterion are expected to substantially reduce CRP acreage in many parts of the Great Plains. The divergence of interests between pursing post-CRP lands for agricultural production versus retaining the wildlife habitat and wildlife populations supported on CRP lands presents land owners and agricultural producers with important land management decisions over the next several years....

FINANCIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF NORTH DAKOTA FARMS, 1995-1997
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Swenson,   Andrew L.
The performance of over 550 North Dakota farms, 1995-1997, is summarized using 16 financial measures.  Farms are categorized by geographic region, farm type, farm size, gross cash sales, farm tenure, net farm income, debt-to-asset, and age of farmer to analyze relationships between financial performance and farm characteristics. There was severe deterioration of financial performance in 1997 because of poor crop profitability. Livestock farm performance was weak, but improved from 1996. Median net farm income was $14,290 in 1997 compared to $31,603 in 1996.  Three out of ten farms had negative net farm income and 57 percent of all farms were not able to make scheduled term debt payments.

Agriculture remains a major component in the North Dakota economy, yet many activities within the agricultural industry remain unquantified.  The purpose of this study was to measure the economic contribution of the soybean industry to the North Dakota economy. Expenditures and returns from soybean production, grain handling, and transportation were estimated to calculate the direct economic impacts from soybean activities.  Secondary economic impacts were estimated using the North Dakota Input-Output Model. Since 1995, soybean acreage in the United States has increased substantially in nontraditional row-crop regions, such as those found in some parts of North Dakota.  Soybean acreage in the state has increased 135 percent since 1995, and 210 percent...

Agricultural industries in small geographical areas with limited acreage tend to be overlooked by those not associated with the growing region or industry.  Sugarbeets continue to be produced in a relatively small geographic area and with relatively limited acreage in North Dakota and Minnesota.  These factors, along with continued debate over policies affecting domestic sugar industries and recent industry expansions, help justify a continued assessment of the economic importance of the sugarbeet industry to the regional economy.  Revenues from sugarbeet production and expenditures by processors to North Dakota and Minnesota entities in fiscal 1997 represented the direct economic impacts from the industry.

ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF WET CORN GLUTEN FEED IN BEEF FEEDLOT FINISHING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Haugen,   Ronald H.; Hughes,   Harlan G.
An economic evaluation of wet corn gluten feed used in beef feedlot finishing was done.  Data were from feeding trials at North Dakota State University.  Four rations were analyzed at 0 percent, 28 percent, 56 percent, and 85 percent wet corn gluten based on dry matter intake.  Data were entered into a computer model that integrated the feeding trial data with economic input and output prices.  A typical feedlot example was used.  Results indicated that the 56 percent ration was the most biologically efficient.  A matrix of results can be shown for various corn prices, relative to wet corn gluten feed prices and quantities fed.  Based on this study, wet corn gluten feed is priced competitively with other feed stuffs.

Interviews and mail-out/mail-back surveys were conducted in 1992 with 38 conventional and 41 sustainable North Dakota farmers. The results emphasize the differences and similarities of these two types of farmers.  Sustainable farms had more diverse cropping practices and were more likely to raise alternative crops like alfalfa, buckwheat, hay, millet, oats, and rye than conventional farmers.  Conventional farmers were more likely to raise traditional crops like barley, sugar beets, sunflowers, and spring wheat. Conventional farmers averaged substantially higher crop yields than sustainable farmers.  Three-fourths of the sustainable farmers raised livestock compared with one-half of the conventional farmers. Conventional farmers had greater equity, assets,...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Haugen,   Ronald H.; Aakre,   Dwight G.
A cost-benefit and statistical analysis of fungicides for suppression of fusarium head blight (scab) in hard red spring wheat was completed on data from physical experiments done in Fargo and Carrington, North Dakota in 1997.  Various fungicide data were analyzed by applying revenues and costs to the experiment yields to determine net revenue. The net revenues were analyzed statistically using a one-way ANOVA (analysis of variance).  No statistical difference was found between the control and other treatment with the Fargo data.  There was a statistical difference between the control and other treatments with the Carrington data. The data sets were combined and analyzed; location proved to be a significant factor.

The growth and composition of the North Dakota economy have been measured by using economic base analysis. Economic base (sales for final demand) has been estimated for sectors corresponding to the North Dakota Input-Output Model and for industrial categories. These two measures produce the same total basic economic activity, but use different delineations. North Dakota’s economic base has grown from $8.3 billion in 1990 to $32.2 billion in 2010 when measured in current year (nominal) dollars. When measured in real or constant dollars, the economy grew from $12.8 billion in 1990 to $32.2 billion in 2010. Constant dollars remove the effects of inflation and were calculated using the Gross Domestic Product Implicit Price Deflators. Nominal growth of the...

Economic Contribution of the Sugarbeet Industry in Minnesota and North Dakota
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bangsund,   Dean A.; Hodur,   Nancy M.; Leistritz,   F. Larry.
Agricultural industries in small geographical areas with limited acreage tend to be overlooked by those not associated with the growing region or industry. Sugarbeets continue to be produced in a relatively small geographic area and on relatively limited acreage in Minnesota and North Dakota. These factors, along with continued debate over policies affecting domestic sugar industries and recent industry expansions, help justify a continued assessment of the economic importance of the sugarbeet industry to the regional economy. Revenues from sugarbeet production and expenditures by processors to Minnesota and North Dakota entities in fiscal 2011 represented the direct economic impacts from the industry. Expenditure information was provided by sugarbeet...

Evaluation of Breakeven Farm-gate Switchgrass Prices in South Central North Dakota-Summary
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bangsund,   Dean A.; DeVuyst,   Eric A.; Leistritz,   F. Larry.
Switchgrass, a warm-season perennial grass, native to the region, has received considerable interest for its potential role as a dedicated feedstock for cellulosic-based bio-fuels.  This research examined the farm-gate price needed for switchgrass to provide per-acre net returns equal to those obtained from traditional crops in south central North Dakota.    Future production costs for switchgrass and net returns from traditional crops were estimated for three soil productivity classes and also were developed to reflect the historical revenue and cost patterns associated with producers who are typically more or less profitable (i.e., average net return per acre) than regional averages.  Prices were calculated using an annualized equivalent analysis of...

AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF PRODUCING CARROTS IN THE RED RIVER VALLEY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Koo,   Won W.; Taylor,   Richard D.
This report evaluates the U.S. carrot market using a quadratic programming algorithm. North Dakota ships carrots locally and to Minnesota under both the base and 1,000 acre scenarios.  North Dakota starts to ship carrots to Illinois as it produces more under other alternative scenarios.  This clearly indicates that North Dakota has a comparative advantage in producing carrots over other neighboring states.  North Dakota could produce about 8,000 acres of carrots and market them to North Dakota, Minnesota, and Illinois.  Additional production of carrots in North Dakota may not affect the national average price of carrots, but local prices may be affected due to regional competition.

FINANCIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF NORTH DAKOTA FARMS 1996-1998
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Swenson,   Andrew L.
The performance of over 530 North Dakota farms, 1996-1998, is summarized using 16 financial measures.  Farms are categorized by geographic region, farm type, farm size, gross cash sales, farm tenure, net farm income, debt-to-asset, and age of farmer to analyze relationships between financial performance and farm characteristics. There was severe deterioration of financial performance in 1997. Financial performance in 1998, although the second lowest in the 1991-1998 period, improved because strong crop yields and emergency federal aid helped offset low crop and livestock prices. Median farm net income was $19,491 in 1998, $14,290 in 1997 and $31,603 in 1996. One-fourth of farms had negative net farm income and 51 percent of farms were not able to make...

A survey of 476 ranchers and 45 local decision makers (LDM) (521 total) was conducted to evaluate managerial, institutional, and social factors that may affect the rate and extent of implementation of various leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L.) controls.  The respondents represented a four-county region in Montana and North Dakota and are compared and contrasted to a group of ranchers and LDM from surrounding counties surveyed in 1998.  The questionnaire focused on weed management in general and specifically on the perceptions and attitudes of ranchers and LDM who have been directly and indirectly affected by leafy spurge. Overall, the updated survey results reveal that ranchers and LDM had fewer problems with all noxious weeds, including leafy spurge than...

WHITE CORN PRODUCTION AND MARKETS FOR NORTH DAKOTA GROWERS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dahl,   Bruce L.; Wilson,   William W.
U.S. white corn production, consumption, and exports increased from 1980 to 1999/00 and production and area have since declined.  White corn is produced largely in Nebraska, Kentucky, and Texas, although production in Texas has declined and has increased in other states (Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa).  Major domestic processors of white corn are located in the southern United States, with the closest large domestic processor located in St. Joseph, MO.  Comparisons of white and yellow corn varieties suggest yields are similar, but have a wide range of variability.  Net returns for white corn are most affected by white corn premiums and yield differences relative to yellow corn in southeastern and south central North Dakota.  A 10 percent yield advantage for...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Leistritz,   F. Larry; Bangsund,   Dean A.
The purpose of this study was to measure the economic contribution of the wheat industry to the North Dakota economy.  Wheat is produced in all areas of the state; however, production is concentrated in the Red River Valley and in the northern third of the state.  Wheat production (spring, durum, and winter wheat) in North Dakota averaged about 9.1 million planted acres and 275 million bushels annually from 2001 through 2003.    Direct impacts (in-state expenditures and returns) from wheat production averaged $126.50 per acre or $1.14 billion annually from 2001 through 2003.  Direct impacts from handling wheat at North Dakota elevators were estimated at $32 million annually.  Transportation of wheat to both in-state and out-of-state destinations was...

VALUATION OF NEW SPRING WHEAT VARIETIES: TRADEOFFS FOR GROWERS AND END-USERS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wilson,   William W.; Dahl,   Bruce L.; Johnson,   D. Demcey; Nganje,   William E.
Variety release decisions involve a number of tradeoffs, usually between grower and end-user characteristics as well as significant uncertainties about agronomic, quality, and economic variables.  In this study, methodologies were developed to value tradeoffs for grower and end-user characteristics for wheat.  The models capture effects of variability in agronomic, quality, and economic variables.   The models were applied for three experimental varieties which have since been released and for two hypothetical varieties.  Results indicate two of the experimental varieties provide improvements in grower and end-use value over most of the incumbents.   Comparison of a risk adjusted portfolio model consisting of characteristics of end-use and grower values...

Autores: McKee,   Gregory J.
The objective of this research is to assess the financial performance of North Dakota farm supply and grain handling cooperatives between 2002 and 2006. Audited financial statements from 120 cooperatives were used. Various financial variables are tested as determinants of profitability. Financial ratio analysis is used to observe trends in liquidity, solvency, and efficiency. Comparisons in ratio trends are made based on relative profitability. No statistical relationship is found between business size and profitability. The most profitable North Dakota agricultural input supply and grain marketing cooperatives were observed to have financial ratio values distinct from less profitable ones.

POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS FOR SHARED-SERVICES COOPERATIVES IN NORTH DAKOTA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bhuyan,   Sanjib.
The principal goal of shared-services cooperatives is to capture savings through lower administrative costs, quantity purchasing discounts, sharing fixed costs, and assured levels of business with vendors and suppliers.  Although the idea of cooperation is not new in North Dakota, the question raised here is whether there is potential applications for non-agricultural shared-services cooperatives that provide services that are absent or inadequate in rural communities in the state. It is concluded that there is potential application for shared-services cooperatives in both public and private sectors in North Dakota based on opportunities to share fixed costs and to capitalize on pecuniary economies of size.
