Cotton yield monitors are a new technology and their costs have not been thoroughly evaluated. This research evaluated yield gains and input savings required to cover the cost of a monitor. Spreading monitor costs over multiple VRT decisions reduces the required yield gain or cost savings for...

Optimal fertilization dates were found for two nitrogen sources in the presence of two diseases for wheat farmers with different risk preferences. Risk was independent of fertilization date. Ammonium Nitrate and Urea-Ammonium Nitrate did not affect risk differently. Ammonium Nitrate applied on...

Fourteen long term side-by-side tillage practice experiments were studied to analyze if no-tillage yields improved through time allowing incentives to decline. In the majority of cases, no significant increase in no-till yield is evident. Incentives may need to be permanent if switched acres are...
