AbstractWoody plant encroachment restricts forage production and capacity to produce grazing livestock. Biophysical plant growth simulation and economic simulation were used to evaluate a prescribed burning range management technique. Modeling systems incorporated management practices and costs, historical climate data, vegetation and soil inventories, livestock production data, and historical regional livestock prices. The process compared baseline non-treatment return estimates to expected change in livestock returns resulting from prescribed burning. Stochastic analyses of production and price variability produced estimates of greater net returns resulting from use of prescribed burning relative to the baseline.

Abstract Prescribed fire may be a non-chemical alternative for seedhead suppression in endophyte-infected tall fescue forage systems. A study was conducted to observe the effects of a single prescribed burn on seed head production, ergot alkaloid concentration, forage production, forage quality, and stand composition in K31 tall fescue plots (endophyte infection=96%). Treatments of an undisturbed control (CON), March mow (MOW), March burn (EARLY), and April burn (LATE) were randomly applied to 56 square meter plots with ten replicates per treatment. Plots were sampled for forage quality and ergot alkaloid concentrations monthly from May to October. Forage production and species composition was recorded in June and October. Fescue seedhead count was conducted in May. After June sampling, plots were clipped to a height of 10 cm and litter was removed to simulate spring grazing. CON had greater (P < 0.01) total forage production in June than other treatments. MOW had greater (P < 0.01) forage production (≤107 kg/ha) than EARLY and LATE in June. There was no effect (P = 0.30) of treatments on forage production in October. LATE burn reduced (month × trt; P = 0.02) ergovaline concentration in June but all treatments were above the established threshold (150 ppb) for fescue toxicosis. Fescue seed head frequency was decreased (P < 0.01) by 50% in LATE plots. There was no treatment effect (P ≥ 0.22) on forb and non-fescue grass frequency in May, but warm season grass frequency was greater (P < 0.01) in LATE plots in October. Crude protein in LATE was greater than other treatments in May and both LATE and CON were greater than other treatments in June (P < 0.01). Neutral detergent fiber for LATE was less than other treatments in May and June (P < 0.01). Under conditions of this experiment, prescribed fire decreased seed head count and ergot alkaloid concentration, with a modest reduction in forage production.

Abstract Forage production for white-tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus is often limited in closed-canopy forests. We measured browse production and nutritional carrying capacity after prescribed burning and understory fertilization in closed-canopy hardwood stands one growing season after treatment in two physiographic regions of Tennessee. Nutritional carrying capacity estimates for prescribed burning, fertilization, and prescribed burning with fertilization were greater than in controls on the Cumberland Plateau. However, the cost per pound of forage produced after fertilization exceeded US$26. In the Coastal Plain, fertilization did not affect nutritional carrying capacity, and prescribed burning and prescribed burning with fertilization lowered nutritional carrying capacity from controls. At both sites, prescribed fire had minimal effect on soil pH or soil phosphate and potash levels. Our results suggest prescribed fire and fertilization are of limited utility for increasing browse production in closed-canopy hardwood forests.

The Cost

This study aims to find a comparison of the calculation of the cost of goods manufactured in the CV. Mitra Setia Blitar uses the company's method and uses the Job Order Costing (JOC) method. The method used in this study is quantitative. The types of data used are quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative data is in the form of map production cost data while qualitative data is in the form of information about map production process. The result of calculating the cost of production of the map between the two methods results in a difference of Rp. 306. Calculation using the company method is more expensive than using the Job Order Costing method. Calculation of cost of goods manufactured using the company method is Rp. 2,205,000, - or Rp. 2,205, - each unit. While using the Job Order Costing (JOC) method is Rp. 1,899,000, - or Rp 1,899, - each unit. So that the right method used in calculating the cost of production is the Job Order Costing (JOC) method

This paper will discuss about the immaterial costs and production yields at one of the refined sugar factory companies in Makassar, South Sulawesi. The theory is based on the fact that Immaterial is a cost that is almsgiving, meaning costs that are outside of the basic costs of the company in producing production, so this research aims to find out: (1) what is the production cost needed to produce this production, (2) the maximum level of production at company from 2013 to 2017. This type of research is a quantitative study because it uses a questionnaire in the form of values ​​that are processed using the marginal cost approach formula. The results of the analysis show that (1) the maximum level of production costs occurred in 2016 amounting to 6,912 with an Immaterial cost of Rp. 2,481,796,800 and the total production produced is 359,077.3 tons (2) The required workforce with the total production produced is 359,077.3 tones of 180 people including the maximum production point which means that the lowest value is achieved (optimal).

Agricultural Entrepreneurship

Technology changes will always be for the better, not only to the end users but also to the intellectual property owners of the technology and the implementers of the technology. The objective of this paper is to study the feasibility and viability for entrepreneurs to become service providers for the dispensation of fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides and supporting services such as aerial crop reconnaissance using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) or drones. The methodology used for this study is SWOT Analysis. Both primary and secondary data is used for this analysis. This study finds that paddy farming employing drones is feasible. The beneficiaries of this study shall be the government, by way of lowering financial cost to subsidise the paddy planting, the farmers who no longer need the services of migrant workers, thus saving production cost, and finally the drone service providers and their downstream business associates who can engaged themselves in very lucrative businesses.
