IMPACTS OF THE FEDERAL AGRICULTURAL IMPROVEMENT AND REFORM ACT OF 1996 (FAIR ACT) ON THE NORTH DAKOTA AGRICULTURAL ECONOMY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Koo,   Won W.; Duncan,   Marvin R.; Taylor,   Richard D.; Aakre,   Dwight G.
The Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (FAIR Act) decouples government farm subsidy payments from both price and production and provides farmers with nearly complete planting flexibility.  Government spending under this act will be limited to $35.63 billion for 1996-2002 period. The net farm income for all six representative farms under the 1996 FAIR Act is projected to be higher than under the 1990 farm act early in the forecast period and lower after 1999 under the 1996 FAIR Act. Cropland prices are projected to fall 19.8% between 1996 and 2002 under the 1996 FAIR Act, while cropland prices are projected to fall 18.5% under the 1990 farm act.  Cash rental rates are projected to follow cropland prices.  Debt-to-asset ratios for most...

1997 NORTH DAKOTA AGRICULTURAL OUTLOOK: REPRESENTATIVE FARMS 1996-2005
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Koo,   Won W.; Duncan,   Marvin R.; Taylor,   Richard D.
Net farm income for all representative farms will be lower in 2003 than in 1995-96, but net farm income will be level throughout the 1997-2005 period.  Cropland prices are projected to fall in all regions of North Dakota after peaking in 1996-97.  Cash rental rates are projected to follow cropland prices.  Debt-to-asset ratios for most farms, although rising across the forecast period, will not reach levels that imperil credit worthiness.  Debt-to-asset ratios for the low profit and small size farms are higher than those for large and high profit farms.

ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF THE CATTLE FEEDING INDUSTRY IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND WESTERN LAKES STATES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Duncan,   Marvin R.; Taylor,   Richard D.; Saxowsky,   David M.; Koo,   Won W.
The five-state study area of the Northern Plains and Western Lakes States, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin, has adequate feed supplies and feeder cattle to markedly increase cattle feeding.  Feed costs in these states have historically been lower than in the Southern Plains States.  However, higher transportation costs appear to offset that advantage.  Close access to slaughter plants in these states could offset that transportation disadvantage.  Backgrounding of cattle appears to be quite profitable and cattle feeding, especially in larger sized feedlots, can be profitable.  However, the cattle feeding industry has an increasing level of excess capacity.  To be successful, new feedlots in the Northern Plains and Western...

UNDERSTANDING AGRICULTURE'S TRANSITION INTO THE 21ST CENTURY: CHALLENGES, OPPORTUNITIES, CONSEQUENCES AND ALTERNATIVES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Saxowsky,   David M.; Duncan,   Marvin R.
Advances in production, communication and transportation technologies as well as expectations of consumers, taxpayers, business people and rural residents continue to cause changes in agriculture and rural areas. These changes pose challenges, such as increased competition, as well as offer opportunities to produce specialized products and reach new markets. The opportunities for production agriculture appear to be 1) low-cost, large-scale commodity production, 2) medium- or small-scale commodity production combined with non-farm sources of income, or 3) production and marketing of specialized products. Emerging opportunities for rural businesses appear to be in serving production agriculture and agribusinesses by meeting their unique needs. These firms...

ANALYSIS OF FARM FINANCING AND RISK MANAGEMENT FOR NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Koo,   Won W.; Duncan,   Marvin R.; Taylor,   Richard D.
Significant changes under the 1996 FAIR Act and recent trade agreements are occurring in the U.S. farm sector.  The changes will affect both the source and the magnitude of the business and financial risks that farmers will be required to manage. The objectives of this study were to investigate North Dakota farmers' plans regarding business expansion, timing of expansion, and expected financing of that business expansion and to analyze their risk management strategies. The study was based on a statewide survey.  The data were categorized into six groups for analysis: demographics, intergenerational transfer, debt characteristics, lender relationships, business expansion, and farmer expectations of their lenders.  Statistical techniques were used to...

AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE NORTH DAKOTA CATTLE INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Koo,   Won W.; Duncan,   Marvin R.; Taylor,   Richard D.; Aakre,   Dwight G.; Swenson,   Andrew L.
The analysis was conducted to evaluate the impacts of both the Federal Agricultural Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (FAIR) and the cattle cycle on the livestock enterprises.  The North Dakota Representative Farm and Ranch Model, which uses the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute price projections as an input, was developed and used for this analysis.  Net farm income and farm debt-to-asset ratios for the average and large beef cattle farms were analyzed. The U.S. cattle industry has been characterized by cyclical variations in production and prices.  It appears that the current cattle cycle is in the final stages of expansion.  Cattle numbers continued to increase during 1995, but at a slow rate. Industry estimates are that the bottom of...

DOES FCS ASSOCIATION SIZE AFFECT CREDIT AVAILABILITY?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dodson,   Charles B.; Duncan,   Marvin R.
An analysis of the characteristics of farm businesses by size of FCS direct lending association suggests that further consolidation of FCS lending should have limited negative impacts on credit availability.  Commercial-sized farm businesses with FCS real estate debt appeared similar to those who obtained credit from competing lenders, but smaller associations and those with fewer stockholders per branch appeared to serve larger and more wealthy commercial-sized farms.

1998 NORTH DAKOTA AGRICULTURAL OUTLOOK: REPRESENTATIVE FARMS 1997-2007
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Koo,   Won W.; Taylor,   Richard D.; Duncan,   Marvin R.
Net farm income for all representative farms except small size and low profit farms in 2007 will be higher than in 1998.  Net farm income for small and low profit farms will remain the same and decrease, respectively, for the forecasting period.  Cropland prices are projected to fall in all regions of North Dakota after having peaked in 1997.  Cash rental rates are projected to follow cropland prices. Debt-to-asset ratios for most farms fall across the forecast period. Debt-to-asset ratios for the low profit and small size farms are higher than those for large and high profit farms.

Net farm income for most representative farms in 2009 will be lower than in 1999.  Low profit farms, which consist of 25% of the farms in the study, may have  negative net farm income throughout the forecasting period, and may not have financial resiliency to survive.  This is true under both optimistic and pessimistic scenarios.  All farms, except low profit farms, may perform well under the optimistic scenario, while only high profit and large size farms may be able to survive under the pessimistic scenario. Cropland prices and cash rental rates are projected to increase slightly except in the Red River Valley where they are projected to fall.  Debt-to-asset ratios for most farms will remain unchanged throughout the forecast period.  Debt-to-asset ratios...

Income from livestock marketing has declined as a proportion of total gross farm income in the past two decades. • Income from cattle and calves accounts for about 65-75 percent of total livestock income in the state. • Income from milk has ranged from 14-20 percent of total livestock income in the state. • Income from swine, a promising growth enterprise for the state, has generated only 5-8 percent of total livestock income. • Livestock income is very important to counties in western North Dakota, relatively unimportant in the eastern counties. • Enterprise budgets for beef and swine indicate positive returns to operator and unpaid labor, management, and equity capital for 1992. • Less than 30 percent of North Dakota's feed grain output is used within...
