Download or read book Benchmarking in Food and Farming written by Lisa Jack and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when food producers have to make significant changes to their businesses in order to survive, a review of benchmarking in agriculture and discussion of its future potential is critical. This book meets that need by providing an overview of existing benchmarking practices in agriculture and the food supply chain, and evaluating the potential of these practices to drive sustainable innovation in food and farming. Increasing pressures from commodity markets, corporate buyers, government and rising input prices (particularly fuel prices) are creating an environment in which farmers and their advisors are keen to make greater use of performance information for survival and growth. Where farmers are diversifying into alternative production methods, non-agricultural enterprises and on-farm production and sales, the greater the interest in a wider range of accounting tools for decision making. Lisa Jack and her contributors draw on a wide range of data and sources from Australia, New Zealand, the USA, the UK and Europe to provide critical evaluations of what might be considered 'state of the art' benchmarking practices at this time, including recent strategic developments such as the use of non-financial measures in balanced scorecards. The food and farming industry is unusual in that benchmarking takes place among large numbers of small, family-owned businesses working in a global industry. Not only, therefore, is this book important for those working in food supply chain businesses, but also for those involved in the general practice of benchmarking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of specialization on farm financial performance depends on the magnitude of economies of size and scope, as well as manager productivity, commodity pricing performance, and producer risk preference. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of risk and specialization on farm financial performance, specifically on the mean and variance of return on equity. A balanced panel of 459 Kansas farms was created from Kansas Farm Management Association member farms from 2009 through 2018. Four measures of specialization were used in the model: Herfindahl index; crop-livestock and crop-custom work interaction terms; percentage of income from grains and percentage of income from cash crops; and percentage of income from livestock. The impact of specialization and risk on mean financial performance and the impact of specialization on risk were estimated using three-stage least squares regression and two-stage least squares regressions. Variable means and regression coefficients from the three-stage least squares regression were used to calculate financial performance elasticities. Results show specialization is associated with increased mean financial performance and variance in financial performance. Diversifying into both crop and livestock production is associated with decreased mean farm financial performance. Liquidity and financial efficiency were associated with relatively large impacts on mean financial performance, suggesting that effective cost management is associated with higher mean financial performance. Operator age, solvency, and specializing into production of cash crops such as soybeans and cotton were associated with increased variance in financial performance. These findings have implications for farms to better allocate resources to improve returns and manage risk, and for the use of Extension resources in working with farms of different enterprises.
