It is not economically feasible to supplement natural air drying of high-moisture shelled corn by adding heat (solar and otherwise). In some cases, that drying method speeds product deterioration. A simulatiton analysis of the west central Great Plains determined that benefits from adding solar...

A computerized system is presented for estimating and displaying shortrun costs of alternative combinations of soil conservation practices for specific soils. Erosion rates, costs per acre, and costs per ton reduction of erosion are displayed in a schematic diagram that permits one to observe...

Pollution from agriculture depends on the agricultural practices or technologies farmers use. Policy instruments, such as government cost-sharing programs, can reduce the costs of adopting less-polluting practices. This report examines the problem of designing economically efficient cost-sbaring...
