1978
Burton, R. | Kline, R.G.
Extract: The overall objective here is to provide information concerning alternative management adjustments to an energy crisis. more specific objectives are to provide information about how a Grade A dairy farm operator might adjust crops grown and feed purchases in response to rising prices of energy related inputs relative to prices of outputs and other inputs, or in response to circumstances of limited availability of energy inputs; and to compare the expected income, crops grown or purchased, and energy usage for crop production resulting from alternative technologies. specific technological alternatives evaluated for a typical dairy farm are the effects of a liquid manure system compared with a solid manure system and the effects of conventional corn tillage compared with no tillage (no till) corn production.
