Managing Expected Switchgrass Biomass Yield Variability by Strategically Selecting Land to Lease
Debnath, Deepayan; Stoecker, Arthur L.; Epplin, Francis M. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2012
Biorefineries that plan to use switchgrass exclusively will have to account for year-to-year variability in feedstock … production. The objective of this research is to determine the quantity, class, and location of land to lease for switchgrass … production to provide for the needs of a biorefinery. The firm could elect to lease land based on average switchgrass yields or …

Optimal Coverage Level Choice with Individual and Area Plans of Insurance
Bulut, Harun; Collins, Keith J.; Zacharias, Thomas P. - 2011
We theoretically examine a farmer’s coverage demand with area and individual insurance plans as either separate or integrated options. The individual and area losses are assumed to be imperfectly and positively correlated. With actuarially fair rates, the farmer will fully insure with the...

Farm Level Analysis of Risk, and Risk Management Strategies and Policies: Evidence from German Crop Farms
Anton-Lopez, Jesus; Kimura, Shingo - 2009
This paper describes farmer’s exposures to risks at the individual farm level and develops a model representing the decisions of an individual risk averse farmer facing variability in both prices and yields. A set of stylised risk market instruments is represented. The model is calibrated...

A Risk Analysis of Converting CRP Acres to a Wheat-Sorghum-Fallow Rotation
Williams, Jeffery R.; Llewelyn, Richard V.; Pendell, … - 2008
This study examines the economic potential of producing a wheat (Triticum aesitivum) and grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) rotation with three different tillage strategies compared to the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) in a semi-arid region. This research uses stochastic efficiency...

Optimal Length of Moving Average to Forecast Futures Basis
Hatchett, Robert B.; Brorsen, B. Wade; Anderson, Kim B. - 2009
Futures prices when combined with a basis forecast provide a reliable way to forecast cashprices. The most popular method of forecasting basis is historical moving averages. Given therecent failure of longer moving averages proposed by previous studies, this research reassessespast...

Soil Matters: How the Federal Crop Insurance Program should be reformed to encourage low-risk farming methods with high-reward environmental outcomes
O'Connor, Claire - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2013
Although significant research has been done on managing farmers’ financial risk through federal programs such as federal crop insurance, to date, little attention has been paid to the ability of on-farm management’s potential to mitigate agricultural risk. Federal crop insurance could...
