Isbn: 9781390362848 - an economic analysis of level bench systems for forage production in north dakota (classic reprint) (1 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the findings of collaborative research on the economic and engineering aspects of using level benches for forage production in the Northern Great Plains. The authors analyze the potential profitability of level benches, comparing them to conventional farming methods, which are typically employed for land with similar soil and topography. The book provides detailed estimates of the costs and returns of different bench widths on several slopes. It also presents extensive experimental data on water storage, yield, and soil characteristics. Utilizing this data, the authors formulated a hypothetical budget for a 100-acre field to illustrate the potential profitability and associated costs of a properly managed level bench system for alfalfa production. Thoroughly researched and clearly presented, this book contributes valuable insights into the potential of level benches as an efficient and sustainable land management technique, offering practical information to farmers and ranchers in the Northern Great Plains region and beyond.
