| This study consists of four different aspects of canola in Michigan with special emphasis on northern Michigan. The economic feasibility of canola as an alternative cash crop, potential canola growing area, feasibility of establishing canola processing plant(s) in northern Michigan and the canola marketing situation in Michigan were appraised. Secondary data, previous research results, key informant interviews, informal visits, expert opinions and survey data were used to study these aspects of canola. Review of past agronomic research results showed that canola can successfully be grown in various part of Michigan, including northern Michigan. Break-even analysis of canola with other alternative crops like wheat, corn, oats and soybeans suggested that... |

| This staff paper describes research on grain reserve stocks as a means of achieving price stability. It is assumed that price stabilization is desirable and the question of desirability is not investigated in this study. The paper is divided into two parts: Part I: Concept and Measurement of Price Instability and a Model of Price-Stocks relations Part II: A Model of Optimal Buffer Stocks for Price Stabilization -- Theory and Computation |

| Crop rotations and soil-management practices on a random sample of mixed crop and livestock properties on the North- Western Slope were discussed in the last issue of this journal. The survey on which the latter article was based was carried out in March, April and May, 1952, and seventy-six farmers were visited in the shires of Peel, Liverpool Plains, Macintyre and Yallaroi. As the survey was concerned mainly with practices on wheat farms, the sample was drawn from important wheat-growing districts in different parts of the North Western Slope. The first article included an analysis of the influence of the size of farms and different soil types on the cropping practices adopted throughout the area. In order to compare the practices of holdings of... |

| This paper presents results from a survey carried out in 2005 among 147 olive tree farmers from the Alto Genil River Basin in Southern Spain regarding the adoption of soil conservation and management practices. Olive tree groves in South-eastern Spain's mountainous areas are subject to a high risk of soil erosion and have to incur in high costs of soil conservation. This results in great difficulties to comply with cross-compliance and to benefit from agri-environmental schemes. Our main objectives are to analyse the current level of adoption of soil conservation practices and to analyse which socio-economic and institutional factors determine such adoption. Three Probit models are estimated. Dependant variables are three different soil conservation... |

| The Agricultural Risk Protection Act (ARPA) has largely met its objectives of inducing farmers to increase their use of the crop insurance program. Both insured acreage and coverage levels have increased dramatically in response to ARPA's large increase in premium subsidies. An unintended consequence of the larger subsidies is a dramatic increase in the incentive for farmers to insure their crops under optional units, that is, insurance at the field level rather than at the farm or crop level. The expected rate of return to farmers who choose to invest additional premium dollars to move to optional unit coverage ranges from a low of 61 percent at the 85 percent coverage level to 144 percent at the 65 percent coverage level. This explains why the majority... |

| China's accession to the WTO poses great challenges to the Chinese agricultural sector, especially to the grain producers. Compared with major grain exporters in the world, most grain crops in China are high in production cost and weak in market competitiveness. This can be partly attributed to the fact that Chinese farmers are facing with poorer agricultural production infrastructures and inadequate public investment in agricultural research and extension, which leads to the lower efficiency in private inputs and thus higher private cost per unit of product. After China joining the WTO, protective and administrative measures conflicted with the URAA cannot be utilized as before. Alternative measures should be explored to provide help to farmers to... |
