Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Economic Study of a Typical Ranching Area on the Edwards Plateau of Texas In this more modern type of ranching, the entrepreneur or the business head, is no longer concerned primarily with the exploitation of the area under his control. Instead, it is to his interest, as well as to that of Society, to concentrate his energies upon a more limited area of land and a more efficient scheme of livestock production: He is now funda mentally concerned with the improvement of the carrying capacity of his ranges, both as to the numbers of heads of livestock which may be run on a section of land and their quality. Furthermore, he is concerned about certain other economic and social problems which extend beyond the con fines of his ranch. Among these may be mentioned ranch credits, marketing problems, and such questions as taxation, tariff policies, and transportation.
