This book was released on 1983 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study was to develop a commodity-specific policy simulation model emphasizing commodity production and marketing relationships, input demand, and financial stocks and flows which could be incorporated into an existing macroeconomic model of the U.S. economy. A review of previous agriculture policy modeling efforts revealed one or more of the following major shortcomings: (1) no consideration of financial and physical stock formation or financial flows, (2) linkages between crop and livestock production either weak or nonexistent and (3) the linkages between agriculture and general economy either ignored or recursive. The model developed herein reflects the behavioral assumptions that farmers and processors maximize expected profit and that consumers maximize utility subject to a budget constraint. Total output for individual crops is determined by acreage and yield response equations. Market prices are endogenously determined. Equations are incorporated which account for the options available to the federal government when the free market price is lower (higher) than the announced government support (release) price. The major crops individually modelled include wheat, cotton, corn, sorghum, oats, barley, and soybeans. For livestock, current desired breeding stocks drive available supply in subsequent periods. The interaction of supply and demand at wholesale and retail levels determine market prices. Livestock commodities receiving individual attention include cattle, hogs and milk. Once the model has been estimated, it is solved using the Gauss-Seidel algorithm. This model was used to investigate the potential impacts of (1) alternative growth rates for aggregate demand on agriculture, (2) the payment-in-kind (PIK) program, and (3) holding milk payments constant in real terms. Simulated results indicated a positive relationship between total farm assets and the growth of the economy. Net farm income, however, was negatively affected due to adverse shifts in the prices farmers pay relative to those they receive. Simulation results analyzing the PIK program showed that the high participation rate in the 1983 crop year will reduce government stocks substantially, which should keep prices low. If the program is extended through 1984 and participation remains high, government stocks would decrease to their minimum acceptable levels which will place strong upward pressure on prices and net income. Finally, this study showed that the price support level for milk was set too high in 1980 and will government stocks to reach record high levels by 1984. It was also shown that if the price support had been frozen in 1979, it would have still taken three to four years before government stocks could be absorbed by domestic demand.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 930 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jan van Schilfgaarde, USDA Agricultural Research Service and National Research Council Committee on Irrigation-Induced Water Quality Problems In 1982, a startling discovery was made. Many waterbirds in Kesterson National Wildlife Refuge were dying or suffering reproductive failure. Located in the San Joaquin Valley (Valley) of California, the Kesterson Reservoir (Kesterson) was used to store agricultural drainage water and it was soon determined that the probable cause of the damage to wildlife was high concen trations of selenium, derived from the water and water organisms in the reservoir. This discovery drastically changed numerous aspects of water management in California, and especially affected irrigated agriculture. In fact, the repercussions spilled over to much of the Western United States. For a century, water development for irrigation has been a religiously pursued means for economic development of the West. The primary objective of the Reclamation Act of 1902 was, purportedly, the development ofirrigation water to support family farms which, in turn, would enhance the regional economy (Worster, 1985).
