In the U.S., anaerobic digestion systems are rarely adopted because large construction costs make them economically infeasible for most animal feeding operations. However, limited research is available on the application of these technologies on swine farms. Net present values were calculated to...

A new stochastic process is introduced where permanent changes occur following a Poisson jump process and temporary changes occur following a normal distribution. The model is estimated using hard wheat basis data and is used to explain why the optimal length of moving average to forecast basis...
