Implications Of Sustainable Farming Systems In The Northern Great Plains For Farm Profitability And Size

Author

Listed:
  • Dobbs, Thomas L.

Abstract

Labor intensity and returns to labor and management are compared for sustainable (alternative), conventional, and reduced tillage farming systems in the Northern Great Plains, using 7 years of data from a study in South Dakota running through 1992. Implications for farm size of substituting sustainable for conventional systems are examined.
