Farmers’ Willingness to Grow Sweet Sorghum as a Cellulosic Bioenergy Crop: A Stated Choice Approach

Bergtold, Jason S.; Fewell, Jason E.; Williams, Jeffery R. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2011

Biofuel production must increase to 36 billion gallons by the year 2022, according to government mandates. The majority of this fuel must be produced from “advanced” or second-generation biofuel feedstocks after 2015. Advanced biofuel feedstocks include annual crops such as sweet sorghum....

Globally Flexible Modeling of County-Level Acreage Response for Primary U.S. Field Crops

Cooper, Joseph C.; Arnade, Carlos A. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2011

This study takes the standard acreage response model that stems from an expected utility framework, accounting for both price and yield variability, and nests it within a flexible semi-nonparametric (SNP) model consistent with farm-level decision models for computationally tractable results. We...

Impact of the New Standard Reinsurance Agreement (SRA) on Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) Gain and Loss Probabilities

Vergara, Oscar; Seaquist, Jack; Zuba, Gerhard; … - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2011

We utilize an agricultural model that uses crop/weather relationships at the county resolution and fits robust distributions that take into account the impact that weather has on crop production. Once the crop insurance policy conditions and prices are applied to the modeled county yield...

The Viability of Harvesting Corn Cobs and Stover for Biofuel Production in North Dakota

Maung, Thein A.; Gustafson, Cole R. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2011

This study examines the impact of stochastic harvest field time, corn cob and stover harvest technologies, increases in farm size, and alternative tillage practices on profit maximizing potential of corn cob and stover collection in North Dakota. Using three mathematical programming models, we...
