Factors Affecting Hay Supply and Demand in Tennessee
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bazen,   Ernest F.; Roberts,   Roland K.; Travis,   John; Larson,   James A.
Understanding the interactions between supply and demand for hay is important because of hay’s significance to the agricultural sector and economy, and because hay is an important crop on highly erodible soils. As an example, Tennessee has the most erodible cultivated cropland in the United States (Denton, 2000), nearly half of the state’s current CRP acreage contracts are set to expire in 2007 (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2006), and hay is one of the most economically important crops produced in the state (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2004). Cross (1999) attributed the upward trend in Tennessee hay acreage since 1980 to an increasing number of farmers who were searching for alternative production activities, such as hay, pasture and livestock, to...

Economic Feasibility of Kenaf Production in Three Tennessee Counties
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bazen,   Ernest F.; Roberts,   Roland K.; English,   Burton C.
Since the 1940s, kenaf has been viewed as a potential source of fiber, mainly for newsprint and high quality paper. Kenaf research has once again risen to the forefront due to the recent USDA tobacco buyout. Many states and farmers dependent upon tobacco revenues have been seeking alternative crops for a number of years. This study seeks to expand the current literature by examining the economic feasibility of growing kenaf within three counties in Tennessee. Nitrogen meta-yield response functions for kenaf and four traditional crops were developed for 30 soils through crop growth simulation modeling and used to compare optimal crop budgets for each soil. Results reveal that kenaf would not compete favorably with traditional crops on any soil at prices...

Feasibility of Solar Technology (Photovoltaic) Adoption: A Case Study on Tennessee's Poultry Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bazen,   Ernest F.; Brown,   Matthew.
The advantages and limitations of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for energy generation are reviewed under various physical efficiency limits, operational design and financial assistance programs. Recent increases in utility and fuel costs in poultry production as well as public awareness of and demand for green power or renewable energy sources has given renewed interest in alternative energy sources. This study seeks to investigate the impact of alternative energy programs, grants and other incentives on the feasibility of solar PV systems in two solar regions within Tennessee's poultry industry. Preliminary results show that incentives must exceed current levels before adoption of solar PV systems would be financially beneficial.

Farmer Willingness to Supply Poultry Litter for Energy Conversion and to Invest in an Energy Conversion Cooperative
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jensen,   Kimberly L.; Roberts,   Roland K.; Bazen,   Ernest F.; Menard,   R. Jamey; English,   Burton C.
Conversion of poultry litter to energy can serve as a renewable energy source and provide an alternative to land application in areas where poultry production is intensive. Economies of size may limit a farmer’s ability to economically use on-farm conversion. Capital costs can be spread across several poultry farmers to convert poultry litter to energy in a centralized facility. This research determined influences on the amount of litter poultry producers will to sell to a centralized conversion facility, on their willingness to invest in a conversion cooperative, and on the prices for litter required to divert litter from current uses.

Economic Feasibility of Kenaf Production in Three Tennessee Counties
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bazen,   Ernest F.; Roberts,   Roland K.; English,   Burton C.
This article seeks to expand current literature by discussing the economic feasibility of growing kenaf within three counties in Tennessee. Results revealed that kenaf would not compete with traditional crops at prices below $49/ton, while profit-maximizing farmers could supply as much as 1,385,700 tons of kenaf at prices of $55/ton.

Measuring the Impact of Externalities on College of Agriculture Teaching Evaluations
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fleming,   Ronald A.; Bazen,   Ernest F.; Wetzstein,   Michael E.
Student evaluation of teaching (SET) is employed as an aid in improving instruction and determining faculty teaching effectiveness.  However, economic theory indicates the existence of externalities in SET scores that directly influence their interpretation.  As a test of this existence, a multinomial-choice, ordered data estimation procedure is employed to identify course externalities influencing SET.  These externalities include student class standing, required courses, class size, days a class meets, class meeting time, classroom location, and classroom design.  Results indicate that externalities have a significant impact on teaching evaluations.  Thus, failure to internalize these externalities will lead to biases in SET and questionable use of SET...
