RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MARKET PRICE SIGNALS AND PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT: THE CASE OF FED BEEF
Outlaw, Joe L.; Anderson, David P.; Padberg, Daniel I. - In: Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics 29 (1997) 01
The beef industry in the United States consists of several distinct production levels ranging from the cow-calf producer at the lowest level to the final consumer. These sectors face varying levels of profitability, degrees of market power, conflicting goals, and price signals. Environmental...

The multi-dimensional nature of environmental attitudes among farmers in Indiana: implications for conservation adoption
Reimer, Adam; Thompson, Aaron; Prokopy, Linda - In: Agriculture and Human Values 29 (2012) 1, pp. 29-40
Attempts to understand farmer conservation behavior based on quantitative socio-demographic, attitude, and awareness variables have been largely inconclusive. In order to understand fully how farmers are making conservation decisions, 32 in-depth interviews were conducted in the Eagle Creek...
