Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study develops and applies the concept of "effective support prices." Government-announced price supports for agricultural crops adjusted to reflect the stringency of acreage controls imposed on growers as a condition for obtaining price supports. Effective support prices are used as a means of estimating the impact of Government programs on planted acreages of seven major U.S. field crops. Also, where applicable, the study shows that effective diversion rates are strongly but inversely related to plantings of the crops. Market price influences became increasingly important in the seventies

This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using economic models and empirical analysis, this volume examines a wide range of agricultural and biofuel policy issues and their effects on American agricultural and related agrarian insurance markets. Beginning with a look at the distribution of funds by insurance programs—created to support farmers but often benefiting crop processors instead—the book then examines the demand for biofuel and the effects of biofuel policies on agricultural price uncertainty. Also discussed are genetically engineered crops, which are assuming an increasingly important role in arbitrating tensions between energy production, environmental protection, and the global food supply. Other contributions discuss the major effects of genetic engineering on worldwide food markets. By addressing some of the most challenging topics at the intersection of agriculture and biotechnology, this volume informs crucial debates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the impact of federally-subsidized crop insurance and government program payments on soil erosion. Specifically, this study analyzes the impact of those programs on production decisions, such as acreage allocation and input use, and the resulting impact on soil erosion. The first essay investigates the "conventional wisdom" that economically marginal land is also environmentally fragile (i.e., highly erodible). We address this issue by looking at the distribution of crop yields across erodibility classes and by performing regression analysis. Our results indicate that land with higher levels of soil erodibility exhibit lower mean crop yields, a proxy for economic marginality, which lends support to the conventional wisdom. The second essay nvestigates the impact of federally-subsidized crop insurance on acreage allocation and input use in the primary cotton growing regions in the United States. Using county-level data from the 1990-1995 and 1996-2000 time periods, we find that the acreage response to insurance participation, though statistically significant, is quite inelastic. The results of simulations that we conducted indicate that large premium rate reductions would generate significant changes in insurance participation, but those changes would not result in large changes in planted acreage. The third essay investigates the relationship between specific government agricultural programs and soil erosion. Using county-level data from the years 1992 and 1997, we estimate a model of soil erosion and crop insurance participation. We find that crop insurance participation and conservation payments are significantly associated with county average soil erosion levels, while other program payments, e.g., deficiency and AMTA payments, exhibit no statistically significant association with our soil erosion measure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land-use changes involve important economic and environmental effects with implications for international trade, global climate change, wildlife, and other policy issues. We use an econometric model to identify factors driving land-use change in the United States between 1982 and 1997. We quantify the effects of net returns to alternative land uses on private landowners' decisions to allocate land among six major uses, drawing on detailed micro-data on land use and land quality that are comprehensive of the contiguous U.S. This analysis provides the first evidence of the relative historical importance of markets and Federal farm policies affecting land-use changes nationally.
