Download or read book Water Use and the Regional Economic Impact of the Cotton Industry on the Southern Ogallala Aquifer written by Rebecca L. McCullough and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ogallala Aquifer is one of the largest freshwater aquifers in the world underlying eight contiguous states in the Great Plains Region of the United States. Recharge of the aquifer is reliant on precipitation, which is an insufficient condition for the southern portion of the region. The Southern Ogallala Region rose to prosperity with the advent of irrigation techniques allowing for irrigation of four primary crops: corn, cotton, sorghum, and wheat. Faced with an ever-decreasing water table, policymakers are under increased pressure to implement water conservation policies aimed at managing the decline of the aquifer in hopes of extending its usable life and maintaining the economy of the region. This study evaluates the economic contribution of the cotton industry to the Southern Ogallala Region and its subsequent water use with the objective of determining how this industry affects both the economy of the region and the valuation of water. Cotton has been an important component of this region for over 150 years and boasts specific characteristics that make it highly suitable for the climate of this region. In addition to evaluating the cotton industry, this study also incorporates an in-depth analysis of the valuation of water, sustainable agriculture, and production scenarios that may become prevalent in future conditions when irrigation is a limited option. In 2014, 3.8 million acres of cotton were planted in the Southern Ogallala Region; 2.2 million acres of dryland and 1.6 million acres of irrigated. The irrigated acres planted produced 1.1 billion pounds of cotton lint and over 800,000 tons of cottonseed. It was estimated that approximately 903,708 acre-feet of irrigation was applied to for this level of production. The total direct sales of dryland and irrigated cotton production and processing totaled $1.7 billion dollars.The agricultural industries of the Southern Ogallala Region are closely interconnected and the subsequent ripple effects of cotton production on other related industries were estimated to determine the economic contribution of the cotton industry to the region. The cotton industry, including production and processing, contributed over $3.3 billion dollars to the Southern Ogallala Region's economy in 2014 and supported over 26,000 jobs. An important focus of this study was to evaluate the cotton industry in terms of the value of water used. The regional economic value of irrigated cotton production was $2,145 per acre-foot and the regional economic value of irrigated cotton production and processing was $2,525 per acre-foot of water applied. The economy of the Southern Ogallala Region is reliant on agricultural commodities. A change in the production of one agricultural industry will affect other industries, and subsequently, the livelihood of the region. To promote the economic continuance of the region, effective water policies must be implemented that consider the interconnection of these industries as well as the most efficient allocation of water. This study's evaluation of the cotton industry will assist in providing a foundation for policymakers when considering and implementing future water polices.

Download or read book Farm Profits and Adoption of Precision Agriculture written by U.s. Department of Agriculture and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Precision agriculture (PA) and its suite of information technologies-such as soil and yield mapping using a global positioning system (GPS), GPS tractor guidance systems, and variable-rate input application-allow farm operators to fine-tune their production practices. Access to detailed, within-field information can decrease input costs and increase yields. USDA's Agricultural Resource Management Survey shows that these PA technologies were used on roughly 30 to 50 percent of U.S. corn and soybean acres in 2010-12. Previous studies suggest that use of PA is associated with higher profits under certain conditions, but aggregate estimates of these gains have not been available. In this report, a treatment-effects model is developed to estimate factors associated with PA technology adoption rates and the impacts of adoption on profits. Labor and machinery used in production and certain farm characteristics, like farm size, are associated with adoption as well as with two profit measures, net returns and operating profits. The impact of these PA technologies on profits for U.S. corn producers is positive, but small. Keywords: Crop production information technologies, precision agriculture, variablerate technology, soil tests, global positioning system maps, guidance systems.

Download or read book Precision Agriculture for Sustainability and Environmental Protection written by Margaret Oliver and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-20 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Precision agriculture (PA) involves the application of technologies and agronomic principles to manage spatial and temporal variation associated with all aspects of agricultural production in order to improve crop performance and environmental quality. The focus of this book is to introduce a non-specialist audience to the the role of PA in food security, environmental protection, and sustainable use of natural resources, as well as its economic benefits. The technologies covered include yield monitors and remote sensing, and the key agronomic principles addressed are the optimal delivery of fertilizers, water and pesticides to crops only when and where these are required. As a result, it is shown that both food production and resource efficiency can be maximized, without waste or damage to the environment, such as can occur from excessive fertilizer or pesticide applications. The authors of necessity describe some technicalities about PA, but the overall aim is to introduce readers who are unfamiliar with PA to this very broad subject and to demonstrate the potential impact of PA on the environment and economy.

Download or read book Cotton Production and Uses written by Shakeel Ahmad and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 651 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive and systematic overview of the recent developments in cotton production and processing, including a number of genetic approaches, such as GM cotton for pest resistance, which have been hotly debated in recent decades. In the era of climate change, cotton is facing diverse abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought, toxic metals and environmental pollutants. As such, scientists are developing stress-tolerant cultivars using agronomic, genetic and molecular approaches. Gathering papers on these developments, this timely book is a valuable resource for a wide audience, including plant scientists, agronomists, soil scientists, botanists, environmental scientists and extention workers.

Download or read book Precision in Crop Farming written by Hermann J. Heege and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-07-03 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High yields and environmental control in crop farming call for precise adaptations to local growing conditions. Treating large fields in a uniform way by high capacity machinery cannot be regarded as a sustainable method for many situations. Because differences existing within single fields must be considered. The transition from former field work carried out manually or by small implements to present-day high-capacity machinery caused that the farmers lost the immediate and close contact with soils and crops. However, modern sensing and controlling technology can make up for this deficit. High tech methods that include proximal sensing and signals from satellites can provide for controls that allow adjusting farming operations to small fractions of one ha and sometimes even down to some m2, hence in a site-specific mode. This applies to operations for soil cultivation, sowing, fertilizing and plant protection. This book deals with site-specific concepts, applications and results.
