ESTIMATING THE ECONOMIC POTENTIAL FOR OFF-FARM MANURE PROCESSING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gollehon,   Noel R.; Christensen,   Lee A.; Ribaudo,   Marc; Aillery,   Marcel P.; Agapoff,   Jean; Breneman,   Vincent E.
A Chesapeake Bay Watershed manure management model estimates the minimal regional cost of land applying manure at $110 to $130 million, depending on crop producer's’ willingness to accept manure and the nutrient standard enforced.  Annualized capital costs of existing industrial plants indicate that off-farm options should be considered.

Preliminary Assessment of Nitrous Oxide Offsets in a Cap and Trade Program
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ribaudo,   Marc; Delgado,   Jorge; Livingston,   Michael J.
Nitrous oxide is a powerful greenhouse gas that is emitted from cropland treated with nitrogen fertilizer. Reducing such emissions through nutrient management might be able to produce offsets for sale in a cap and trade program aimed at reducing greenhouse gases. We use the Nitrate Leaching and Economic Analysis Program (NLEAP) model and data from the Agricultural and Resource Management Survey to examine what changes in rate, timing, or method of application a farmer would take to produce offsets. We find that reducing the application rate is the most favored approach for producing offsets. We also find that some management choices may increase nitrate losses to water.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Horan,   Richard D.; Shortle,   James S.; Abler,   David G.; Ribaudo,   Marc.
There is considerable interest in the use of pollution trading between point and nonpoint sources  to improve the cost-effectiveness of water pollution control, but little literature to guide the design of trading systems involving nonpoint sources.  We explore the design of two types of trading systems that would allow trading among and between point and nonpoint sources.

Economics of Water Quality Protection from Nonpoint Sources: Theory and Practice
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ribaudo,   Marc; Horan,   Richard D.; Smith,   Mark E.
Water quality is a major environmental issue. Pollution from nonpoint sources is the single largest remaining source of water quality impairments in the United States. Agriculture is a major source of several nonpoint-source pollutants, including nutrients, sediment, pesticides, and salts. Agricultural nonpoint pollution reduction policies can be designed to induce producers to change their production practices in ways that improve the environmental and related economic consequences of production. The information necessary to design economically efficient pollution control policies is almost always lacking. Instead, policies can be designed to achieve specific environmental or other similarly related goals at least cost, given transaction costs and any...

Impact of Environmental Policies on the Adoption of Animal Waste Management Practices in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Savage,   Jeff; Ribaudo,   Marc.
We use data from the ERS-NASS ARMS surveys to compare the use of best management practices on poultry and livestock farms inside the watershed and outside the watershed. Animal operations within the Chesapeake Bay States were found to be adopting some important manure management practices at a greater rate than operations outside the watershed. Adoption was taking place before the implementation of the TMDL, indicating that farmers may have been acting in response to building public pressure to reduce pollution.

The Use of Markets To Increase Private Investment in Environmental Stewardship
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ribaudo,   Marc; Hansen,   LeRoy T.; Hellerstein,   Daniel; Greene,   Catherine R.
U.S. farmers and ranchers produce a wide variety of commodities for food, fuel, and fiber in response to market signals. Farms also contain significant amounts of natural resources that can provide a host of environmental services, including cleaner air and water, flood control, and improved wildlife habitat. Environmental services are often valued by society, but because they are a public good—that is, people can obtain them without paying for them—farmers and ranchers may not benefit financially from producing them. As a result, farmers and ranchers under-provide these services. This report explores the use of market mechanisms, such as emissions trading and eco-labels, to increase private investment in environmental stewardship. Such investments could...

The Farm Act's Regional Equity Provision:  Impacts on Conservation Program Outcomes
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nickerson,   Cynthia J.; Ribaudo,   Marc; Higgins,   Nathaniel.
The 2002 and 2008 Farm Acts increased funding for conservation programs that provide financial assistance to farmers to implement conservation practices on working farmland. Along with seeking cost-effective environmental benefits, these programs have a goal of spreading conservation funding equitably across States. The 2002 and 2008 Farm Acts strengthened this allocative goal by setting a minimum threshold for conservation funding for each State—one that exceeds historical funding for some States—for enrolling agricultural producers in specified conservation programs. This study uses conservation program data to examine evidence of the impacts of the Regional Equity provision of the 2002 Farm Act, and explores the tradeoffs that can occur among...

Nitrogen is an important agricultural input that is critical for crop production. However, the introduction of large amounts of nitrogen into the environment has a number of undesirable impacts on water, terrestrial, and atmospheric resources. This report explores the use of nitrogen in U.S. agriculture and assesses changes in nutrient management by farmers that may improve nitrogen use effi ciency. It also reviews a number of policy approaches for improving nitrogen management and identifi es issues affecting their potential performance. Findings reveal that about two-thirds of U.S. cropland is not meeting three criteria for good nitrogen management. Several policy approaches, including fi nancial incentives, nitrogen management as a condition of farm...

Autores: Gollehon,   Noel R.; Caswell,   Margriet; Ribaudo,   Marc; Kellogg,   Robert L.; Lander,   Charles; Letson,   David.
Using data from the Census of Agriculture on animal inventory and sales, we estimate manure nutrient production on farms with confined livestock. Using reported on-farm production of crops on these same farms, we estimate the nutrient uptake for major field crops and pastureland. This enables us to examine the balance between manure nutrient production and nutrient need measured by crop uptake at a farm level.  Examination at alternative spatial scales, shows that 75 percent of counties in the U.S. have farms that produce more manure nutrients than can be assimilated on the farm of production (excess nitrogen).The vast majority of the counties that produce excess nitrogen have adequate land in the county to spread the manure at agronomic rates. Thus,...

AGRICULTURAL PRICE, QUANTITY, AND WELFARE EFFECTS OF AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ribaudo,   Marc; Shortle,   James S.
The failure to allow for significant crop quality effects in a partial-equilibrium model can lead to misleading inferences about the price, output and welfare implications of air quality improvements.  It has been observed that air pollutants such as ozone, sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide affect the yield and quality of many crops.  The economic benefit from improving air quality in crop producing regions has been measured using a partial-equilibrium approach which accounts only for supply shifting yield effects.  It is shown that a yield-effect only model will underestimate output increases and benefits from an air quality improvement when commodity quality improvements as well as yield increases are forthcoming.

Atrazine: Environmental Characteristics and Economics of Management
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ribaudo,   Marc; Bouzaher,   Aziz.
Restricting or eliminating the use of atrazine in the Midwest would have important economic consequences for farmers and consumers. Atrazine is an important herbicide in the production of corn and other crops in the United States. Since atrazine is such an important herbicide, mandatory changes in application strategies are likely to generate sizable costs for producers and consumers. However, recent findings indicate that elevated amounts of atrazine are running off fields and entering surface water resources. This report presents the costs and benefits of an atrazine ban, a ban on pre-plant and pre-emergent applications, and a targeted ban to achieve a surface water standard. A complete atrazine ban is hypothesized to be the costliest strategy, while the...

Reducing Agriculture's Nitrogen Footprint: Are New Policy Approaches Needed?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ribaudo,   Marc.
Nitrogen is the single most important input a farmer can control to increase crop yields on nonirrigated fields. Given this, and the fact that nitrogen has been a relatively inexpensive input, farmers have an economic incentive to “apply a little extra” to ensure that crops have the necessary nutrients when they need them most. As a consequence, excess nitrogen remains in the soil and freely moves into water resources or into the atmosphere. Agriculture is the single largest source of nitrogen compounds entering the environment in the U.S., contributing 73 percent of nitrous oxide emissions, 84 percent of ammonia emissions, and 54 percent of nitrate emissions in recent years. The production and release of nitrogen, however, has greatly changed the Earth’s...

ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH REDUCING THE USE OF ATRAZINE: AN EXAMPLE OF CROSS-DISCIPLINARY RESEARCH
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ribaudo,   Marc; Hurley,   Terrance M.
Restricting or eliminating the use of atrazine in the Midwest would have important economic consequences for farmers, consumers, and the environment.  These consequences can only be evaluated with cooperation between economists and weed scientists.  The weed control choice set available to farmers cannot be observed through deductive research.  Economists and weed scientists worked together to identify all possible weed control strategies for corn and sorghum in the Midwest and to incorporate them into an economic model.  An atrazine ban was found to be the costliest strategy, and a targeted, water-quality based strategy the most cost effective.

Autores: Ribaudo,   Marc; Agapoff,   Jean.
The Environmental Protection Agency requires concentrated animal feeding operations to develop and implement a comprehensive nutrient management plan.  Changes in manure management to meet nutrient application standards will generally increase production costs.  Some of these costs can be offset by savings from replacing commercial fertilizer with manure nutrients, and through financial assistance programs such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture’'s Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).  A manure application cost model was used to examine the costs to confined dairy farms of meeting nutrient application standards, and the ability of fertilizer offsets and EQIP to reduce these costs.

Census of agriculture data were used to estimate manure nutrient production and the capacity of cropland and pastureland to assimilate nutrients. Most farms (78 percent for nitrogen and 69 percent for phosphorus) have adequate land on which it is physically feasible to apply the manure produced onfarm at agronomic rates. (The costs of applying manure at these rates have not been assessed). Even so, manure that is produced on operations that cannot fully apply it to their own land at agronomic rates accounts for 60 percent of the Nation's manure nitrogen and 70 percent of the manure phosphorus. In these cases, most counties with farms that produce "excess" nutrients have adequate crop acres not associated with animal operations, but within the county, on...

Do baseline requirements hinder trades in water quality trading programs?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ribaudo,   Marc; Ghosh,   Gaurav S.; Shortle,   James S.
The Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Agriculture are promoting point/nonpoint trading as a way of reducing the costs of meeting water quality goals while giving nonpoint sources a larger role in meeting those goals.  Farms can create offsets or credits in a point/nonpoint trading program by implementing management practices such as conservation tillage, nutrient management, and buffer strips.  To be eligible to sell credits, farmers must first comply with baseline requirements.  The EPA defines a baseline as the pollutant control requirements that apply to a seller in the absence of trading.  EPA guidance recommends that the baseline for nonpoint sources be management practices that are consistent with the water quality goal.  A...

Nutrients from livestock and poultry manure are key sources of water pollution. Ever-growing numbers of animals per farm and per acre have increased the risk of water pollution. New Clean Water Act regulations compel the largest confined animal producers to meet nutrient application standards when applying manure to the land, and USDA encourages all animal feeding operations to do the same. The additional costs for managing manure (such as hauling manure off the farm) have implications for feedgrain producers and consumers as well. This report's farm-level analysis examines on-farm technical choice and producer costs across major U.S. production areas for hauling manure to the minimum amount of land needed to assimilate manure nutrients.

Changes in Manure Management in the Hog Sector
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Key,   Nigel D.; McBride,   William D.; Ribaudo,   Marc.
In recent years, structural changes in the hog sector, including increasing farm size and regional shifts in production, have altered manure management practices. Over the same period, changes to the Clean Water Act, new state regulations, and increasing local conflicts over odor have influenced manure management decisions. This study uses data from two national surveys of hog farmers to examine how hog manure management practices vary with the scale of production and how these practices evolved between 1998 and 2004.  The findings provide insights into the effects of structural changes and recent policies on manure management technologies and practices, the use of nutrient management plans, and manure application rates.
