Item An Economic Analysis of Alterative Methods for Distributing Ground Water, Texas High Plains(Texas Tech University, 1977-12) Royal, Lawrence AllanNot Available.Item Changes in the relative importance of cotton and the tenure of farm operators in the agricultural economy of Texas, 1919-1945(Texas Tech University, 1951-08) Douglass, Joe WNot availableItem Projected irrigation adjustments to increasing natural gas prices in the Texas High Plains, 1976-2025(Texas Tech University, 1978-05) Coomer, Jerry MichaelNot availableItem Some of the recent economic changes that have affected agriculture(Texas Tech University, 1938-08) Sparks, Richard ErnestNot availableItem The economic impact of crop and feedlot sectors on the Texas High Plains economy(Texas Tech University, 1973-05) Mason, Jack DoyleNot availableItem The Effects of Aquifer Characteristics and Other Factors on Land Values in the Southern High Plains of Texas, 1974-1979(Texas Tech University, 1982-08) Mathews, Kenneth HarryThis thesis examlned the characteristics associated with individual land parcels that were actually sold during 197^ through 1979 for the 15-county area of the Ogallala Aquifer in the Southern High Plains of Texas. The sample examined represented over 90 percent of the total number of parcels sold for the study period. Characteristics associated with the aquifer, that is the gallons per minute potential, the size in acres of a parcel, and the distance in miles from the closer of Lubbock or Amarillo,were found to have the greatest impact of those studied on the price per acre of rural land in the study area. The parameter estimates, which were also the price elasticities with respect to the characteristics, were 0.3103, -0.28U3 and -O.2961, respectively. All of the variables studied yielded parameter estimates that were statistically significant except the natural log of the pumping lift in Model 3. However, on a county by county basis there were several parameter estimates found to be not statistically significant.Item The effects of aquifer characteristics and other factors on land values in the Southern High Plains of Texas, 1974-1979(Texas Tech University, 1982-08) Mathews, Kenneth HarryThis thesis examined the characteristics associated with individual land parcels that were actually sold during I97U through 1979 for the 15-county area of the Ogallala Aquifer in the Southern High Plains of Texas.

Characteristics associated with the aquifer, that is the gallons per minute potential, the size in acres of a parcel, and the distance in miles from the closer of Lubbock or Amarillo, were found to have the greatest impact of those studied on the price per acre of rural land in the study area. The parameter estimates, which were also the price elasticities with respect to the characteristics, were 0.3103, -O.28U3 and -O.296I, respectively. All of the variables studied yielded parameter estimates that were statistically significant except the natural log of the pumping lift in Model 3. However, on a county by county basis there were several parameter estimates found to be not statistically significant.Item Waterfowl and agriculture: an assessment of wintering waterfowl management and land-use economics on the Texas High Plains(Texas Tech University, 1984-08) Chamberlain, Patricia AnnNot available
