Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The dairy industry in the United States has faced significant changes in the past 50 years. These changes pertain to industry composition, structure and size. As this industry has changed, so has its geographic composition. The geographic evolution of this industry has concentrated and concentration has been attributed, in part, to an attempt to capture agglomeration economies. However, the extent of such agglomeration economies has not been fully analyzed. This analysis looks at the zip code level factors that are influencing the geographic evolution of the dairy sector in Ohio in order to confirm if new farm births from 1999-2003 follow the national trends of concentration within this industry and to verify if this concentration is in fact occurring in response to agglomeration factors. The results of this study confirm that new farm births are indeed concentrating in areas that allow for the capturing of benefits provided by agglomeration economies. Literature on the theories of agglomeration economies does not provide any indication of the spatial limitations of the benefits of such close location. Because dairy farms create pollution, there should exist a delineation between locating close enough to capture the benefits of agglomeration economies but locating far enough away from other farms to minimize the costs of complying with environmental regulations, which require land application of manure. Previous studies on agglomeration economies have not delved below the zip code level; this study does so by examining dairy farm location at the sub-zip-code level. Examining the effects of agglomeration economies at the sub-zip-code level allows for a breakdown of the effects of close location. Individual farm level data was collected, along with zip code level data for each farm. Using geocoded addresses for each farm, distances estimates between farms were determined. Likelihood ratio tests prompted the division of the state into three sub-groups: all Amish farms in the state, all non-Amish farms in the northeast and all non-Amish farms in the rest of the state. Sub-zip-code level results reveal trends in these different sub-groups of births occurring in the period from 1999-2003. Compared to location decisions made prior to 1999, Amish farmers tend to locate in closer proximity due to social agglomeration benefits than they did prior to 1999, non-Amish farmers in the northeast are more attracted to locations that are close to processing plants than they were prior to 1999, and non-Amish farmers in the rest of the state are more attracted to areas with low population density and cheap land than they were prior to 1999. These results verify that close location in this industry varies throughout the different regions and sub-groups in the state. Because the presence of agglomeration economies was identified at the zip code level, the sub-zip code analysis increases the magnification and detail of the results. For all groups there exists a modest trend in the more recent period to avoiding locations with large numbers of dairy farms within a 20 kilometer radius of the new location, suggesting that the benefits of agglomeration have attenuated during recent years. The results of this research provide an intricate look at the geographic evolution of the dairy industry and the identification of agglomeration economies present in this industry. It also highlights that regional differences exist with regard to sub-zip-code level location decisions and agglomeration economies. These results provide significant insight into the changes that may be expected in the Ohio dairy industry in the coming years.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Technology and scientific advances in American agriculture have transformed the industry beyond diversified farms that once provided the food and fiber needs of a single family. Ohio agriculture plays an important role in the economy of the state and lifestyle of rural residents. The expansion of farm size throughout the state has accompanied the development of Ohio's agricultural industry in recent years. The Ohio dairy industry has not been immune to the changes that have occurred in agriculture. The development of large-scale dairy farms in Ohio has been met with varying degrees of acceptability. Some communities have actively opposed the establishment of such operations, while other communities have expressed more support for large-scale dairy operations. The primary problem addressed in this study involved the identification of factors that contributed to the support or opposition of large-scale dairy farms established in two rural Ohio communities. This research involved an embedded case study with two units of analysis. Qualitative and quantitative measures were utilized in the study. Stakeholder perceptions of large-scale dairies and other livestock farms on the four dimensions of the Ecological Paradigm were obtained through a researcher-developed mailed questionnaire. Contextual information for each county was gathered and analyzed. County demographic data was analyzed from the US Census Bureau. Agricultural production data from the US Agricultural Census was analyzed for the two counties (i.e. cases) identified for the study. Permitting information for each case was also analyzed. It was concluded from the results of this study that the two counties were similar in terms of most demographics. Both counties were determined to be agriculturally-based counties with higher proportion of employment in agriculture and more agricultural production, and agricultural sales than the average county in the State of Ohio. Differences in the agricultural 'culture' of the two counties may have influenced support for or opposition to the large-scale dairy farm in each respective county. Agriculture in County X focused more heavily on swine and dairy production, whereas County Y focused more on crop and beef production. Stakeholder perceptions were consistent between counties and stakeholder groups. Overall, stakeholders agreed that large-scale dairies were economically viable and efficient in production, however they disagreed that large-scale dairies were environmentally compatible and socially responsible. Stakeholders agreed that other local livestock farms were environmentally compatible, efficient in production and socially responsible but disagreed that other livestock farms were economically viable. Communities should recognize and acknowledge the economic viability and production efficiency of large-scale dairies with assurances that environmental and social concerns are managed. Large-scale dairy owners may be able to enhance acceptance (or at least reduce opposition) to the establishment of large-scale dairy farms by incorporating the following steps: (a) assess the agricultural context of the community, (b) use technology, systems, and management practices to ensure safety of the environment, (c) communicate the technology, systems. and management utilized to stakeholders, and (d) meet the expectations of involvement and integration into the social fabric of the community. Stakeholders can benefit from relationships with large- scale dairies as well as providing advice and local information during the establishment process. Just as large-scale dairy owners must address the environmental and social impacts of agriculture, stakeholders should recognize the production efficiency and economic impact of large-scale dairy on the local community. Environmental and social concerns should be recognized by Extension Educators, who provide a communication link between the agricultural sector (large-scale dairy owners) and the non-agriculture public.
