| Industrialization of animal agriculture has created a battle groundpitting farmers against farmer, rural residents against large producers, and producer against consumer. The dilemma (tradeoff) of whether to have more small family farms or to lower food costs (with large farms) cannot easily be resolved. The answer is to internalize externalities (in waste disposal, odor, etc.), then to allow markets to work. |

| This paper briefly outlines a topology of small farms and then considers the role of the government versus the market in key public policies such as commodity income support, environment, stability, research, and rural development. A number of options are explored for public policy to better serve small farms, including drastic alternatives such as graduated property taxes on farmland, with exemptions or lower rates for small farms. These and other alternatives are not necessarily recommended. Improved extension education and human resource development offer some of the most promising public policy opportunities to help small farmers. |

| The purpose of this study is to estimate the impact of general inflation on prices paid and received by farmers. Specific objectives are: (1) to test the hypothesis that the farm commodity domestic demand function at the farm level is homogeneous of degree zero in price and income; and (2), conditional on not rejecting the hypothesis in (1), to test the hypothesis that general inflation changes the ratio of prices received to prices paid by farmers because of impacts unevenly on prices and income in the demand function versus the supply function for farm output. Empirical results provided no basis to reject the hypothesis that economic functions determining demand for output at the farm level are homogenous of degree zero in income and prices. A truly... |

| Farm commodity programs devised over one-half century ago have outlived their usefulness. The structure of agriculture is different today than in 1933. Comparatively little excess labor remains in farming. The industry is capable of adjusting to change likely to develop over the next decade or so. Current problems in agriculture are the result of macroeconomic policies and commodity programs. The paper presents elements of a transition program to lower the government's role in supporting farm prices and incomes. |

| Projections indicate the world is entering a new era of tighter food supply relative to demand than in recent decades. Although urban areas in the U.S. occupy only 3 percent of the nation's land, the average state supplies too small a share of global food needs to motivate it to preserve land for food security. Citizens like open spaces, but scenic areas are preferred to farmland. Thus, if preserving land for future needs is important, the issue must be addressed at the national and international level as well as the state level. Statistical analysis indicates most U.S. farmland transferred to other uses has been the result of unprofitability of farming rather than the result of urban encroachment. |

| The pace of political-economic change in former East Bloc nations of Europe defies accurate prediction. Some events such as more price-directed markets are predictable enough but integration of former East Bloc countries into the European Community remains a matter of speculation. Analysis indicates that the economics of agriculture favors acceptance by the European Community of members of the European Free Trade Association before former members of the. East Bloc. Analysis also indicates the considerable agricultural production potential of Central and East Europe will be unleased first by market-directed economies and later by integration with the EC -- if the latter occurs. US consumers gain more than producers lose so the economic welfare of Americans... |

| Linear programming and stochastic farm growth simulation models are used to assess the impact of alternative enterprise selection, variation in farm income, inflation, and off-farm income on the growth of small, part-time farms in East Central Oklahoma. Results indicate that alternative rates of inflation or variation in farm income do not significantly impact the operation or expansion of part-time farming operations. Adoption of alternative enterprises on part-time farms can lead to full-time farming operations where expansion initially is aided through use of off-farm income. Small full-time operators could greatly enhance family income by obtaining off-farm employment and income. |

| CFTA/NAFTA is estimated annually to add $1,430 million of U.S. agricultural exports to Canada and $1,884 million of Canadian agricultural exports to the United States. Thus CFTA/NAFTA contributed an estimated 25 percent of the $5.8 billion of U.S. agricultural exports to Canada in 1995. Classical welfare analysis was used to estimate the implications of free trade in the dairy, poultry, sugar, and other industries that continue to be protected. In aggregate, consumers benefit from liberalization by nearly $1 billion per year in each country. Losses to Canadian producers are absolutely and relatively greater than to U.S. producers. Overall deadweight gains are positive to each country. The annual combined two-country addition to national income ($292... |
