The Australian wheat industry is an important contributor to the Australian economy and farm sector. This paper investigates the determinants of land use in wheat production for the Australian wheat-sheep zone. Land allocation between the wheat and the wool enterprises are considered in view of...

The impact of recessive calamities was analyzed, including seasonal drought, cold injury, dry hot wind and aphid in the wheat production of Chuxiong Prefecture, and the countermeasures that prevented and controlled the recessive calamities in a target-oriented way were proposed, including the...

This paper investigates the key decision parameters of farmers related to the allocation of land between wheat production and pasture for sheep (wool) production. Wheat area supply response, is estimated across the Australian wheat-sheep zone using data for the period 1991 to 2004. Statistical...

Wheat covers approximately 25% of the total global area devoted to by cereal crops. Wheat production needs to be augmented to meet the growing demand. The amount of wheat produced is a direct function of energy inputs. Wheat is produced using energy sources ranging from human and animal power to...

This study applies a translog cost function to analyze factor demands in four U.S. wheat production regions. The results show that factor demands are inelastic across all regions. The interdependent relationships among inputs and the effects of price changes on the relative cost shares are...

Using stochastic frontier analysis, efficiency of production of wheat in Western Australia was studied. The production function model used was a relatively simple input model, consisting of wheat yield, effective rainfall, fertilizer application rates and year of study. Inefficiency was captured...

"This paper investigates the effects of wheat genetic diversity and land degradation on risk and agricultural productivity in less favored production environments of a developing agricultural economy. Drawing production data from household survey conducted in the highlands of Ethiopia, we...

"Climate change continues to have major impact on crop productivity all over the world. While many researchers have evaluated the possible impact of global warming on crop yields using mainly indirect crop simulation models, there are relatively few direct assessments on the impact of observed...

This study applies a translog cost function to analyze factor demands in four U.S. wheat production regions. The results show that factor demands are inelastic across all regions. The interdependent relationships among inputs and the effects of price changes on the relative cost shares are...

The role of risks in the adoption of low-input wheat production in Switzerland is investigated using farm-level panel data. Due to governmental support with environmental payments, low-input wheat production is found to be on average more profitable. However, low-input production is also more...
