| This study examines prospective additional costs associated with identity preserved (IP) transactions and their allocation among participants in the wheat marketing system (farmers, grain handlers, and millers). Cost allocations for participants are computed across a range of potential specifications for IP transactions. As strategies become more specific (moved toward either location, variety, or variety and location), the probability of lots meeting quality specifications for the desired end-use characteristic (absorption) generally increased and changes in costs for mills declined.

| This paper examines current marketing practices by Mississippi soybean producers as well as willingness to participate in a marketing cooperative and willingness to plant Identity Preserved soybeans. In general, most Mississippi soybean producers utilize cash sales at harvest or forward contracting as primary marketing tools. Use of futures and options is found to increase with farm size. Willingness to participate in a marketing cooperative (pool) is found to be effected by use of cash sales at harvest as a primary marketing tool, money spent on gathering marketing information, previous experience with marketing pools, and age of the respondent. Willingness to plant Identity Preserved soybeans is directly related to offered premiums. |
