Trends and determinants in the adoption of recombinant bovine somatotropin are examined using data from across the United States. The core findings are: (a) moderate adoption rates and relatively small impacts on national milk production; (b) substantial disadoption, farmers who have tried the...

This article analyzes the primary activities of agricultural college faculty with and without extension appointments using survey data. The evidence suggests that differences between extension professors and others in agricultural colleges in terms of research production are small for minor...
