Body

This article is a summary of five economic studies (South Dakota, North Dakota, Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico) that examined the economic effects of short-duration grazing where four questions [1) If SDG is adopted will a ranch’s economic position improve? 2) What is the optimal investment if SDG is adopted? 3) What is optimal stocking rate for maximum profit? 4) What are cash flow implications if a large capital outlay is involved in the investment?] of short-duration grazing were asked.
