Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

The article concerns gives an economic analysis of tame hay harvesting systems in North Dakota. Eleven tame hay harvesting systems were considered for this study, ranging from very labor-intensive systems to a one-man complete hay harvesting system. These systems fall into three groups, involving small, medium and large tonnages harvested annually. The purpose of the study was to determine the least-cost complete haying system for each of the three group sizes. Budgeting was used to arrive at the total annual cost of harvesting and feeding hay.
