  • Economies of size for farrow-to-finish hog production in Kansas
    Langemeier, M.R.; Schroeder, T.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1993)
    Economies of size measure the impact on average cost of production of increasing the size of operation. Data from 91 farrow-to- finish operations enrolled in the Kansas Farm Management Associations in 1992 were used to ...
  • Economies of size for Kansas beef cow production
    Langemeier, M.R.; Schroeder, T.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)
    Economies of size measure the impact of increasing the size of operation on average cost of production. Economies o f size exist if average total cost decreases as size increases. Enterprise data from producers enrolled ...
