Procedure for Including a Timber Enterprise in a Programming Evaluation of River Basin Development

Journal of Agricultural Economics Research, 1970, vol. 22, issue 4, 5

Abstract: Wood products are included as competing enterprises in a model used as an aid in evaluating the need for land and water resource development. The procedure for developing linear programming data inputs for veneer, sawtimber, cordwood, and "other" enterprises is presented. Detailed land use was developed from secondary sources. Data for enterprise budgets were developed mainly from experience on publicly owned land. The river basins examined were found to be capable of meeting food and fiber needs for the next 50 years, although improved woodland management is necessary. An increase in woodland acreage is needed to meet wood product demands after 1980.
