Estimation of the Value of Old World Bluestem and Optimum Grazing Season under Alternative Stocking Rates
Almas, Lal K.; Lust, David G.; Brooks, Kathleen R. - Southern Agricultural Economics Association - SAEA - 2013
The production potential of OWB forage is evaluated under commercial rotational grazing management. The economic value of the forage is determined by the replacement value of the CP and TDN content. The optimal grazing period is determined where the MVP of grazing an additional day is equal to...

Abandonment of milk production under uncertainty and inefficiency: The case of West German farms
Pieralli, Simone; Hüttel, Silke; Odening, Martin - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2014
This paper examines the impact of technical efficiency on the optimal exit timing of farms in a stochastic dynamic framework. Starting from a standard real options approach, we incorporate technical efficiency via a production function and derive an optimal price trigger at which farms...
