A non-parametric simulation model incorporating price risk determined gross revenue less risk management costs for cow-calf, winter stockering, and retained ownership scenarios for cattle producers in the Southeast. Risk management scenarios simulated hedging with commodity futures and...

A non-parametric simulation model incorporating price and yield risk determined gross revenue less risk management costs for corn, cotton, and soybeans produced with and without irrigation. Risk management alternatives protecting price risk, yield risk, and combinations of price and yield were...

Agribusinesses firms were surveyed to assess the competencies of their recent college-graduate employees according to whether the employees had agricultural or business degrees. Both graduate types received high average ratings for their computer skills and low average ratings for their...

A simulation model incorporating stochastic yields, prices, and government payments generates returns for landowners and tenants under cash, share, and flexible leases.

Soybean production in the South has evolved over recent years from conventional soybean production systems (CSPS) in which soybeans are planted after May 1st to early soybean production systems (ESPS) in which soybeans are planted as early as mid-March. The shift was aided by the advent of...

Although several studies have estimated the costs of implementing and maintaining country of origin labeling (COOL), no previous study has documented how increased costs imposed by COOL will be distributed throughout the livestock sector and how producer and consumer welfare will ultimately be...
