The call for school finance reform has threatened to modify or possibly remove the current property and sales and use tax exemptions currently benefiting Texas cotton producers. This study utilizes a whole farm simulation model to evaluate the economic and financial impact of three alternative...

The 2002 Farm Bill provided the one time opportunity to update base acres and counter-cyclical payment yields to more closely reflect their current crops, rotations and yield levels. This paper discusses the available options and provides case study examples to illustrate the complexity of this...

Four alternative BMPs for atrazine remediation were reported by Harmon and Wang for the study area. The BMPs involved alternative incorporation practices, tillage operations, and sediment ponds. Harmon and Wang reported no statistical difference in corn yields under the alternative BMPs. An...

The farm level economic impacts of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 on representative Texas cotton operations are projected in this report. The analysis was conducted over the 2001-2007 planning horizon using FLIPSIM, AFPC’s whole farm simulation model. Data to simulate...
