Beef cattle production is responsible for approximately 2.2% of total US GHG production. In some agroecosystems, afforestation has the potential to sequester more carbon than other pasture and rangeland management practices. This research examines the factors, including an incentive, influencing...

We introduce the local farmland market concepts in order to understand the operation of French farmland sale market. We perform an empirical analysis of farmland prices based on farmland sale market in the Bretagne Region of France. The descriptive statistics show that the price of farmer to...

This study examines the dynamic relationship between wholesale and retail prices of beef products, accounting for product differentiation in cuts and quality grades. We test for long-run association in price transmission relationship in presence of asymmetry caused by threshold-type adjustments....

The objective of this paper is to identify the effect of livestock mandatory price reporting (MPR) on cattle cash prices. Using the lag augmented vector autoregression (LA-VAR) and the historical decomposition, we find that there exist a steady increase in cattle prices after MPR in 2001....

Feeder calf prices are determined by the interaction of many factors. This study uses transactions data from Iowa preconditioned and regular feeder calf auction sales to investigate the impact of a wide variety of factors, many of which have not been used in previous studies on feeder calf...

Climatic conditions and weather play an important role in production agriculture. Using district level panels for 42 years from India and dynamic panel estimation procedure we estimate the impact of weather risk on cropping intensity. Our non-stationary and dynamic panel model results suggest...

This study examines how the U.S. crop mix pattern has responded to climate and in turn the potential effects of projected climate change. We find that there are significant effects of temperature and precipitation on the crop choice decisions.
