KEY FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO COW/CALF COSTS, PROFITS AND PRODUCTION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Parker,   Ruslyn; Doye,   Damona G.; Ward,   Clement E.; Peel,   Derrell S.; McGrann,   James M.; Falconer,   Lawrence L.
In this study, cow/calf Standardized Performance Analysis (SPA) data for Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico are used to analyze how total cost, production, and profitability are affected by management choices.  Total cost is the financial cost associated with raising a calf through the weaning stage; profits are measured using the rate of return on assets; production is determined by pounds weaned per exposed female.  Variables such as herd size, pounds of feed fed, calving percentage, death loss, length of breeding season and investment in asset groups are used in regressions.  Key factors contributing to a cow/calf operation's costs, production, and profitability are identified.

Contract Duration and the Division of Labor in Agricultural Land Leases
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Yoder,   Jonathan K.; Hossain,   Ishrat; Epplin,   Francis M.; Doye,   Damona G.
Short-term contracts provide weak incentives for durable input investment if post-contract asset transfer is difficult. Our model shows that when both agents provide inputs, optimal contract length balances weak incentives of one agent against the other. This perspective broadens the existing contract duration literature, which emphasizes the tradeoff between risk sharing and contract costs. We develop hypotheses and test them based on private grazing contracts from the Southern Great Plains. We find broad support for the implications of our model. For example, landowners provide durable land-specific inputs more often under annual versus multiyear contracts.

Beef Cattle Production and Management Practices and Implications for Educators
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Vestal,   Mallory K.; Ward,   Clement E.; Doye,   Damona G.; Lalman,   David L.
Beef producers need to continually incorporate new information and adopt new technology to effectively manage production costs.  Oklahoma State University began a Master Cattleman program with this need in mind.  Understanding technology adoption by producers requires identifying current management practices.  Data from a survey developed as part of the Master Cattleman program document current practices.  Management practices were examined for two groups; producers with smaller herds who are less dependent on the beef enterprise for family income, and producers with larger herds who are more dependent on beef.  Results clearly show that size and dependence on the beef enterprise matters when considering a broad spectrum of beef management practices.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Williams,   Brian R.; Raper,   Kellie Curry; DeVuyst,   Eric A.; Peel,   Derrell S.; Lalman,   David L.; Richards,   Chris; Doye,   Damona G.
The utilization of marketing programs to enhance feeder calf value has been met with modest success in Oklahoma. Value-added programs are continually promoted as avenues for improving cow-calf profitability, but producer adoption of value-added practices lags in spite of research showing the value of these practices. Identifying producer characteristics that increase their likelihood to adopt value-added practices is critical to developing successful outreach efforts.  Results from a survey of Oklahoma producers on value-added practice adoption indicate that multiple demographic variables influence a producer’s likelihood of practice adoption. For Extension specialists, results can help in targeting likely adopters and developing methods to overcome...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Briggeman,   Brian C.; Detre,   Joshua D.; Doye,   Damona G.; Lansford,   Notie H., Jr.
The Oklahoma Agricultural Bank Simulation Game (Ag Bank Sim) is a software based, experiential learning tool through which participants historically have learned key financial, economic, and banking lessons. The game offers a “real world” experience in which management decisions affect institutions interacting in a geographic market, enhancing understanding of the complex, competitive environment within which commercial banks operate. A new Internet version of the game has been developed, allowing participants to play Ag Bank Sim in a virtual environment. This poster highlights features of the game and reports results of pre and post tests of undergraduate students playing the game at Louisiana State University and Oklahoma State University in the spring...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ramsey,   Ruslyn; Doye,   Damona G.; Ward,   Clement E.; McGrann,   James M.; Falconer,   Lawrence L.; Bevers,   Stanley J.
Cow-herd standardized performance analysis (SPA) data for Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico were used to determine economic factors affecting cow-herd costs, production, and profitability.  Total cost was defined as the financial cost associated with raising a calf through the weaning stage; production, as pounds weaned per exposed female; and profits, as a rate of return on assets.  Variable affecting one of more performance measures included herd size; pounds of feed fed; real estate, machinery, and breeding-stock investments; calving percentage; death loss; and breeding-season length.  Management variables were especially important for financial costs and profitability of the cow-herd operation.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN A FLEDGLING DEMOCRACY: THE POTENTIAL OF THE POLISH AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION SYSTEM
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Doye,   Damona G.
Agricultural economists who serve as educators in emerging democracies have the opportunity to contribute to economic development by building human capital.  A channel for educators to share lessons learned in these countries could benefit individuals preparing for assignments in foreign countries.  Understanding the cultural and social differences in decision-making systems is critical to successful educational program development and implementation.  Individuals in the emerging democracies often need training in management and market economics to apply at institutional as well as personal levels.  Similar training for recipients of economic development funds could result in more effective application of funds.

Factors Affecting Adoption of Cow-Calf Production Practices in Oklahoma
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ward,   Clement E.; Vestal,   Mallory K.; Doye,   Damona G.; Lalman,   David L.
Most technology adoption research has focused on crops. Primary data were used to determine differences in management practices among two groups of Oklahoma cow-calf producers based on herd size and cattle income dependence. Significant differences were noted between two groups of producers (smaller operations with less dependence on cattle versus larger with more dependence on cattle) in 79% of the management practices examined. Logit models determined factors influencing the probability of adopting 17 recommended practices. Important factors included the firm goal to choose practices that reduce labor, income dependence on cattle, human capital, and size of operation.

The Environment for Scholarship in Agricultural Economics Extension
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Doye,   Damona G.
Although opportunities and challenges for the Cooperative Extension Service have been addressed in the agricultural economics literature, little attention has been paid to the extension scholar.  This article relates Boyer’s scholarship concepts and subsequent scholarship assessment articles to agricultural economics extension and describes some unique features of the extension scholar’s operating environment.  Organizational framework, leadership, staffing, funding, accountability, and evaluation are addressed.  Data from a survey of agricultural economics department heads are used to supplement personal experience in describing the current operating environment and constraints for extension scholars.

A FLAT RATE TAX:  IMPACTS ON REPRESENTATIVE HOG AND GRAIN FARMS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Doye,   Damona G.; Boehlje,   Michael.
This paper focuses on identifying shifts in the tax burden within agriculture associated with various flat tax proposals by comparing their effects on farms with different enterprise combinations, resource bases, and financial characteristics.  In general, the flat tax imposes higher average tax burdens on small farms and yields a tax cut from ERTA laws for large farms even when the tax base is broadened.

Factors Affecting Adoption of Recommended Management Practices in Stocker Cattle Production
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Johnson,   Rachel J.; Doye,   Damona G.; Lalman,   David L.; Peel,   Derrell S.; Raper,   Kellie Curry; Chung,   Chanjin.
Binary logit regression models were used to estimate factors affecting adoption of recommended management practices. Variables analyzed include aspects of farm structure, human capital, farm objectives, and production system employed by the producer. Results reveal that operation size and dependency upon income from the stocker operation, in particular, influence the adoption of recommended practices. Older producers and those pursuing a year-round production strategy were found to lag in adoption.

Integrated Farm Financial Statements (IFFS): A Farm Business Planning Tool
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Doye,   Damona G.
Integrated Farm Financial Statements (IFFS) software was developed as an M.S. thesis project in the mid-1980s and was immediately put to use as a tool for business planning in one-on-one work with Oklahoma producers through the Intensive Financial Management and Planning Support project.  An updated IFFS continues to be used with producers to project financial statements for 1-3 years.  Strengths and weaknesses in the software and extension program are noted, along with components that might serve as a model for other programs.  Links with research are discussed, as are prospects for future farm financial management programs.

Fragmentation of Agricultural Land Parcels
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Neal,   Kalyn; Doye,   Damona G.; Brorsen,   B. Wade.
This study seeks to take fragmentation research in a new direction by looking at exurban sprawl and fragmentation of ownership. The primary objective of this study is to identify the location and magnitude of fragmentation of agricultural land parcels sold in Oklahoma. This was accomplished by estimating two different models. The first model regressed a polynomial in time to determine whether or not fragmentation has been increasing over time. While it was hypothesized that parcel size was decreasing, this was not found to be the case. Over the 40 years of data, parcel size was found to only have decreased by one acre. The purpose of the second model was to verify whether or not a location premium exists for small parcels. It was found that a location...
