dc.descriptionAdjustments in resource use are continually being studied to determine possible solutions to some of the problems of agriculture. By 1967, the seeding of crop land to grass land was the objective of several federal government agricultural programs designed to reduce production of crops that have been in surplus. Also, the long range outlook for red meat indicated that it's demand was about double by the turn of the century. If this forecast would become a reality, then one can expect increased demands for range cattle and hence for forage. This article addresses a study which was made in southwestern North Dakota to determine if and under what conditions it would be. profitable to seed cropland to grass. This study indicated that the margin between grass seeding for pasture and cash grains such as flax or oats is small. The costs to transitioning from crops to grass lands was not taken into account in this study.
