| Beef cattle enterprises for the 91% of Texas producers with less than 100 cows represent secondary or supplemental enterprises. In most cases the operator is depending on surplus or discretional labor and the alternate use of the physical resources is limited due to topography or environmental factors. These characteristics transform the decision making process from a variable resource allocation problem to a fixed resource problem. Monthly average prices for 300-900 lb stocker steers, divided into 50 lb intervals, are analyzed for three market locations for the period 1992-1999. Consistent price roll back is observed as the price per cwt decreases as the weight increases. However, as the reduction in price is more than offset by the increase in value due... |

| The potential of three feedstocks: grain sorghum, sweet sorghum, and switchgrass for ethanol production in the top 26 counties of the Texas Panhandle Region is analyzed using yield and production costs of feedstock, processing cost of feedstock, final demand for ethanol, farm to wholesale marketing margin, and the derived demand price of feedstock. The calculated economic returns per acre of grain sorghum, sweet sorghum, and switchgrass are -$45.37, -$410.19, and -$150.17 respectively under irrigated condition and -$38.25, -$145.09, and -$29.04 respectively under dryland condition. The evaluation in this study demonstrates that ethanol production from grain sorghum, sweet sorghum, and switchgrass in the Texas Panhandle Region is not economically... |

| The unique nature of the Ogallala Aquifer presents interesting and confounding problems for water policymakers who are coping with changing groundwater rules in Texas. The purpose of this article is to link previous efforts in water policy research for the Ogallala Aquifer in Texas with current collaborations that are ongoing with regional water planners. A chronological progression of economic water modeling efforts for the region is reviewed. The results of two recent collaborative studies are presented that provide estimates of impacts of alternative policies on groundwater saturated thickness, water use, net farm income, and regional economic activities. |

| Agricultural producers in the Texas High Plains are facing the worst comparative economic conditions since 1913. Under these circumstances it is desirable to evaluate which programs are beneficial to agricultural producers and which ones are not. The concept of Integrated Pest Management was introduced to the Texas High Plains in 1976 and since then many IPM practices have been adopted for the four major crops; corn, cotton, sorghum, and wheat. The reduction in production cost is used as a measure of economic benefit and contingent valuation is used to estimate the value of the environmental benefits. The IPM practices, which have been adopted, reduce the production cost by more than $173 million per year. In addition the practices reduce... |

| Six irrigation systems are analyzed considering cost and potential water savings. The investment cost of furrow and drip is $115,800 and $260,120, respectively. The cost of quarter mile pivot ranges from $59,000 to $64,000. Per ac-in variable pumping cost ranges $9.96 to $14.86 assuming natural gas price $7.00 per MCF. |

| The Texas Panhandle is one of the most unique and diversified agricultural areas in the world. Production agriculture contributes $3.41 billion in value-added production and more than $6.32 billion in economic activity annually. Eighty-five percent of the states fed beef, 45.8 percent of the wheat, 61.9 percent of the corn, and 23.0 percent of the sorghum are produced in the region. The growing livestock industry has accelerated the demand for feed grains in the area and has increased irrigation water demand. The Ogallala Aquifer is the primary source of irrigation water in the region. The depletion of the Ogallala by the excessive pumping of water is threatening the rural economy of the area. There is a critical need for developing sound water... |

| Potassium (K) and phosphorus (P) application to sunflower (Helianthus annus L.) reduced cost of production, increased seed oil and protein concentration, yield and net returns on the K and P deficient soils in Northwest Pakistan. Field experiment was conducted at the New Developmental Research Farm of NWFP (North West Frontier Province) Agricultural University Peshawar, Pakistan during summer 2006. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with split plot arrangements using three replications. Six levels of K (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 and 125 kg ha-1) were kept in main plots while four levels of P (0, 45, 90 and 135 kg ha-1) were kept in sub-plots. Increase in K and P levels enhanced seed oil concentration, on the other hand, increase... |
