Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is a series of three essays exploring the determinants and effects of enrollment in the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). The CRP is the United States' largest federal conservation program, currently enrolling over 34 million acres of productive cropland. The CRP pays landowners to idle productive cropland by replacing crops with approved covers such as native grasses or trees. The CRP has a large and wide-ranging impact on both CRP and non-CRP land through its effects on farm profits and farm and non-farm economies, and enlightened CRP policy requires understanding of the determinants of CRP enrollment as well as the magnitude of its effects. In the first essay I use a stochastic dynamic programming framework to construct an options model of CRP enrollment that characterizes landowner decisions to enroll in the CRP in terms of a threshold value of current agricultural returns. The model predicts changes in enrollment choices due to differences in market uncertainty and individual-specific risk aversion, and to changes in policy variables such as the length of CRP contracts and the frequency of sign-ups. The model predicts that landowner decisions to enroll in the CRP are significantly affected by variables absent from previous options models, and provides more realistic counterfactual policy analysis that provides policy makers with ex-ante insight into possible changes to the CRP. In the second essay I estimate the determinants of CRP enrollment using a parcel-level empirical model and Minnesota farmland data. The parcel-level data represent a significant improvement in data resolution over previous studies. I address specification concerns by including non-CRP government payments and a uniquely comprehensive index of land productivity, and use a censored normal regression framework to accommodate censoring in the participation data. All model specifications suggest a negative and statistically s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 50 years, triazines have made a great impact on agriculture and world hunger by assisting in the development of new farming methods, providing greater farming and land use capabilities, and increasing crop yields. Triazines are registered in over 80 countries and save billions of dollars a year. The Triazine Herbicides is the one book that presents a comprehensive view of the total science and agriculture of these chemicals. With emphasis on how the chemicals are studied and developed, reviewed, and used at the agricultural level this book provides valuable insight into the benefits of triazine herbicides for sustainable agriculture. - Presents previously unpublished information on the discovery, development and marketing of herbicides - Includes a vital section on the origin, use, economics and fate of triazine herbicides - Covers benefits of triazines in corn and sorghum, sugarcane, citrus, fruit and nut crops - Establishes best management practice and environmental benefits of use in conservation tillage

Book excerpt: The Conservation Reserve Program, one of more than twenty voluntary conservation programs administered by the United State Department of Agriculture, was initiated under the Agricultural Act of 1985 and has evolved under subsequent farm bills. Today, enrollment acres are selected among qualifying land based on an environmental benefits index. Total land enrolled will drop to a maximum of 24 million acres under the Agricultural Act of 2014. This report covers a broad scope of existing literature related to the Conservation Reserve Program. Although much of the literature is dated and not reflective of today's markets, the currency of the message is that landowners respond to financial incentives. Further, uncertainty about the costs and financial benefits has endured as a hindrance to enrollment that may otherwise be attractive to landowners. Research supports the influence of a host of additional factors including those non-financial. A focus on consideration of local conditions and specific conservation practices will aid future research, although specificity must be balanced against incorporating landowner consideration of other land-use alternatives. The literature emphasizes the need to educate decision-makers on all aspects of conservation program options likely to influence their enrollment decision using a venue that is accessible to them. This information should stress economic factors and focus on specifics such as the impact of a specific conservation practice locally and the likely economic impact of various options for the individual producer. We should look for innovative, efficient methods to increase farmer access to this information to include social networks and peer education.
