An Analysis of the Impact of Manure Disposal Regulations on Dairy Farms

Muhammad Ashraf and Robert L. Christensen

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1974, vol. 56, issue 2, 331-336

Abstract: State regulations concerning animal waste disposal can be satisfied by the adoption of alternative manure disposal systems. A linear programming analysis of 25 dairy operations in Massachusetts shows that significant reductions in farm income and changes in optimum farm plans result when these systems are imposed upon the dairy business.
