Extract

Enterprise competition among beef, hog and crop alternatives in the South has been recognized by a number of analysts; Potential enterprise adjustments in this region must be evaluated before reliable decisions affecting the beef industry can be made. This paper is concerned with an appraisal of normative adjustments in southern beef production and related enterprises over an intermediate period of time.
