Abstract

The Idaho PR/ PD committee created a 41 page manual entitled Agricultural Lenders Economics: The Influence of Veterinary Services Upon Producer Profits and Ability to Repay Agricultural Loans. This manual is designed specifically for agricultural lenders involved in either beef or dairy operations.

The manual outlines the economic advantages of utilizing veterinary services. It compares:
1. Investment costs.
2. Operating Costs.
3. Return on investment figures for specific operational procedures with and without veterinary input.
