| Rotational grazing can potentially reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from animal operations. This study investigates potential GHG reductions from rotational grazing farm operations under alternative procedures for defining a carbon credit. As applied to a case study cow-calf operation, GHG emission credits did not differ substantially under different definitions of entity boundaries. The choice of accounting metric used to report credits (mass load versus load per unit of output), however, would dramatically influence whether a farm would benefit financially from a future market in carbon credits. |

| Variability in feed prices and crop yields are important sources of risk to dairy farmers. A simulation model of a representative dairy farm was used to evaluate crop insurance and hedging as risk management strategies. These strategies lowered expected net returns but also reduced risk. The preferred set of strategies at lower levels of risk aversion included hedging and crop insurance, although a base scenario in which no risk management strategies were employed was also efficient. The preferred strategy at higher levels of risk aversion was a combination of crop insurance and hedging. |

| Water quality and the need for pollution control in agriculture are well-established concerns in the United States. This paper addresses the effectiveness of using site-specific or spatial information to predict farm responses to a practice-standard NPS pollution control policy and the associated compliance costs. In this study a phosphorous-based nutrient management plan was used to evaluate four scenarios which make use of different amounts of information about farm characteristics. Results indicate more accurate predictions can be made using spatial information but there exists a need for further research. |

| High incidences of pinhole leaks, which occur in home plumbing due to pitting corrosion of water pipes, have been observed in parts of the U.S. such as the Maryland suburbs of Washington D.C. This research evaluates factors associated with pinhole leak occurrences and assesses the costs incurred by consumers from corrosion. Statistical analysis of Maryland survey responses suggests that the probability of pinhole leak occurrences is associated with the type of pipes installed and the distance of the dwelling from a water treatment plant. The number of leaks and location of pinhole leaks in the dwelling drive the financial costs of pinhole leak damage. Correcting for sample selection bias influences the estimated coefficients and statistical... |

| In this study, two methods of entering and accessing dairy herd records are compared: the traditional mail-in Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) system and the Direct Access to Records by Telephone (DART) system, which provides more timely and convenient access to records. An evaluation of DART was carried out using mail survey responses from 117 DART users and telephone surveys of 40 randomly selected users. Results indicate that DART users are generally satisfied with the system and feel that it improves their herd management. Variations in use of the DART system by DART users are explained by herd, cost, and management variables. DART users and comparable non-DART, DHI users are compared with respect to gains in herd production efficiency. Results... |

| A daily limitation on the number of hours irrigators can pump may be imposed by utility companies seeking to use the company's generating capacity more efficiently. Three power interruption patterns are analyzed to determine electricity cost reductions which would have to be offered to keep irrigators from being made worse off by the interruptions. Irrigation system pumping capacity and the irrigator's attitudes toward risk are found to be primary determinants of the size of the required reductions. |
