Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tewari,   Rachna; Almas,   Lal K.; Lust,   David G.; Amosson,   Stephen H.; Bretz,   Fran E.
Witnessing a rapid surge in irrigation requirements as well as the pressure on natural resources to augment production for satisfying grain demand for the growing human and livestock population, ground water supply in the Texas Panhandle reflects itself as a limiting yet indispensable factor. This study evaluates the effectiveness of eight potential water management strategies in terms of  water savings, implementation costs as well as the regional impact of each policy on  the agricultural economy of Region A, comprising 21 counties in the North Texas High Plains, over a  fifty-year planning horizon.

Autores: Almas,   Lal K.; Vimlesh,   K.; Girase,   J.R.; Amosson,   Stephen H.; New,   Leon L.; Bretz,   Fran E.; Marek,   Thomas H.
Six irrigation systems are analyzed considering cost and potential water savings.  The investment cost of furrow and drip is $115,800 and $260,120, respectively.  The cost of quarter mile pivot ranges from $59,000 to $64,000.  Per ac-in variable pumping cost ranges $9.96 to $14.86 assuming natural gas price $7.00 per MCF.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Amosson,   Stephen H.; Bretz,   Fran E.; New,   Leon L.; Almas,   Lal K.
Dust created in feedyards can adversely affect cattle performance.  Dust suppression can be accomplished by moistening pen surfaces with traveling gun(s) sprinklers, solid-set sprinklers, and water trucks.  This study specifically addresses the fixed and operational costs associated with a traveling gun sprinkler system for various sized feedyards.

Economic Analysis of Manure Harvesting Equipment in Feedyards for Dust Control
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bretz,   Fran E.; Amosson,   Stephen H.; Warminski,   Patrick L.; Marek,   Thomas H.
This study concentrated on one method of dust control which is harvesting manure with equipment. An economic analysis including hourly fixed and operational costs were performed on the following: tractor-pulled box scraper, front-end loader, dump truck, spreader truck, elevating scraper and tractor-pulled end dump. The purpose of this study was to generate cost data for feedyard owners/operators to reference when making manure management and equipment purchasing  decisions.
