Comparing Livestock Enterprises for the Optimum Combination of Labor and Capital Resources to Produce Maximum Income. Final Report.
Ratcliff, Dale L.
Designed as a tool for vocational agriculture instructors to use in helping their students plan livestock enterprises that they will use as a part of their supervised occupational experience programs, this microcomputer program enables students to compare livestock enterprises for optimum combination of labor and capital resources to produce maximum income. The program (which was successfully tested on students at California High School in California, Missouri) allows the user to obtain either a video listing or a printed copy of the information that is calculated as a result of the responses to the questions at the beginning of the program. Written in the BASIC language, the program is based upon data obtained from "Farm Business Management Analysis: Analyzing the Farm Business," by Robert Denker, et al. and the "Missouri Farm Planning Handbook, Manual 75."
