Introduction to the economics of pasture-based dairying (2011)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2011)
system typical of a dairy farm and herd of four different sizes. These models were developed using assumptions, costs and benchmarking information from existing Missouri pasture-based dairies and from experts in the dairy industry. Data presented here...
Starting a 300-cow intensive rotational grazing dairy (2011)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2011)
This guide examines the financial feasibility of starting a 300-cow intensive rotational grazing dairy in Missouri. The model dairy described is designed to be a pasture-based dairy to use labor and capital as efficiently as possible. This dairy...
Starting a 75-cow intensive rotational grazing dairy (2011)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2011)
This guide examines the financial feasibility of starting a 75-cow intensive rotational grazing dairy in Missouri. The model dairy described is designed to be a pasture-based dairy to use labor and capital as efficiently as possible. This dairy...
Starting a 600-cow intensive rotational grazing dairy (2011)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2011)
This guide examines the financial feasibility of starting a 600-cow intensive rotational grazing dairy in Missouri. The model dairy described is designed to be a pasture-based dairy to use labor and capital as efficiently as possible. This dairy...
Starting a 150-cow intensive rotational grazing dairy (2011)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2011)
This guide examines the financial feasibility of starting a 150-cow intensive rotational grazing dairy in Missouri. The model dairy described is designed to be a pasture-based dairy to use labor and capital as efficiently as possible. This dairy...
Converting an existing dairy to the Missouri 75-cow grazing dairy model (2011)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2011)
This guide examines the financial feasibility of creating a new Missouri grass-based dairy by converting an existing conventional dairy to a 75-cow intensive rotational grazing dairy. The model for this conversion assumes the farm buyer is able...
Publications, University of Missouri Extension, 2017-05
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2017)
Catalog of CDs, software, videos and hardcopy publications of the University of Missouri Extension Office....
Perceived Economic Pressures and Farmer Ethics
(2008)
not experiencing economic pressures. To test this hypothesis, we use data from a survey of 3,000 Missouri farmers with farm sales in excess of $10,000 in 2005 in which farmers were asked how acceptable they considered various unethical or questionable farming...

Plant community response during establishment of woodland silvopasture in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Disturbance-mediated oak (Quercus spp.) woodlands were formerly a prevalent community type in Missouri, and their restoration is a key objective of land management agencies and conservation organizations. Over one-third of wooded land in Missouri (2...
Large-scale soybean genome-wide variation workflow and association analysis using deep learning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] With the advances in next-generation sequencing technology and significant reduction in sequencing costs, it is now possible to sequence large collections of germplasm in crops...
Regulation of Gene Expression by Non-coding RNAs in Arabidopsis and Brachypodium
(2014)
Expansion of high-throughput sequencing technology has increased our understanding
in the importance of pervasive transcription and the resulting indispensable molecules, noncoding
RNAs (ncRNAs). A significant effort has ...
Agroforestry buffer, biomass crop, and grain crop effects on soil quality and soil water use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soil degradation, impaired water quality, and reduced soil organic carbon have become major concerns in the management of degraded claypan soils with their associated ecological...
Uncovering the genetic basis of seed amino acid composition in arabidopsis using a multi-omics integrative approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Seeds are a vital source of protein in the diet of humans and livestock. However, protein composition in the seed is low, comprising about 10 percent of the total composition in the seed. Additionally, protein quality in ...
Drainage water management practices affect water quality, soil properties, and crop production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Several agricultural management practices such as terrace construction, cover crops (CC), drainage water recycling (DWR), free drainage (FD), and 4R nitrogen (N) management can influence water quality, soil properties, and crop production...
Uncovering limitations and opportunities in nitrogen fixation in soybean using genetic mapping and transgenic approaches
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
is limited and is important in modern agriculture as it benefits farmers and the environment by eliminating the requirement of synthetic N fertilizers to achieve high yields. Development of legume nodules and active SNF are complex processes which involve...
Coenzyme Q₁₀ content, composition, texture and physiochemical characteristics of pasta fortified with freeze-dried beef heart
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This study evaluated the feasibility of fortifying fresh pasta with beef heart, a beef by-product high in coenzyme Q₁₀. Incorporating freeze-dried beef heart into pasta significantly increased coenzyme Q₁₀ and protein ...
Personalist dictators and the choice of military intervention in civil conflicts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Are all personalist dictators equally prone to intervene in civil conflicts? The current bulk of work on authoritarianism and international relations shows that personalist...
