Factors Affecting Perceived Improvements in Environmental Quality from Precision Farming
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Larkin,   Sherry L.; Perruso,   Larry; Marra,   Michele C.; Roberts,   Roland K.; English,   Burton C.; Larson,   James A.; Cochran,   Rebecca L.; Martin,   Steven W.
This study identified the factors that influenced whether farmers in the Southeastern United States perceived an improvement in environmental quality from adopting precision farming technologies (PFTs). Farmers with larger farms or higher yields were more likely to believe that they observed positive externalities associated with PFTs. Farmers who found PFTs profitable or who believed input reduction was important had higher probabilities whereas those with higher incomes or who were more dependent on farm income were less likely to perceive such benefits. Interestingly, the importance of environmental quality and length of time using PFTs were not found to affect the probability of perceiving an improvement in environmental quality.

ADOPTION OF SPATIAL INFORMATION GATHERING TECHNOLOGIES AND VARIABLE RATE INPUT APPLICATION TECHNOLOGIES BY COTTON FARMERS IN THE SOUTHEAST
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Martin,   Steven W.; Roberts,   Roland K.; English,   Burton C.; Larson,   James A.; Cochran,   Rebecca L.; Goodman,   W. Robert; Larkin,   Sherry L.; Marra,   Michele C.; Shurley,   W. Donald; Reeves,   Jeanne M.
Probit analysis identified factors influencing adoption of precision farming technologies by Southeastern cotton farmers.  Younger, more educated farmers who operated larger farms and were optimistic about the future of precision farming were most likely to adopt site-specific information technology.  The probability of adopting variable rate input application technology was higher for younger farmers who operated larger farms, owned more of the land they farmed, were more informed about the costs and benefits of precision farming, and were optimistic about the future of precision farming.  Computer use was not important possibly because custom hiring shifts the burden of computer use to agribusiness firms.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS OF RESTRICTED ACCESS STRATEGIES FOR MULTISPECIES FISHERIES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hutchinson,   Sharon D.; Larkin,   Sherry L.; Lee,   Donna J.; Adams,   Charles M.; Milon,   J. Walter.
The commercial fishery that primarily targets king mackerel, stone crab, snappers, groupers and spiny lobster in Monroe and Collier counties is one of the most important commercial fisheries in Florida.  These species currently face problems of overfishing and/or over capitalization.  A dual-based restricted profit function is used to estimate the economic and technical interactions that exist in this multi-species fishery, primarily using own-price and cross-price elasticities of supply.  It is found that the production technology does not exhibit input-output separability and nonjointness-in-inputs over all species groups.  This result suggests that these key species may be more efficiently managed as a group, rather than with the use of existing single...

Willingness-to-Pay for Red Tide Prevention, Mitigation, and Control Strategies: A Case Study of Florida Coastal Residents
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lucas,   Kristen M.; Larkin,   Sherry L.; Adams,   Charles M.
Harmful algal blooms (HABS) are natural events with ecological and economic consequences worldwide. Different nations and regions have adapted to HABS in a variety of ways including distinct strategies designed to prevent, control and or mitigate the negative effects of HAB events. In Florida, Karenia brevis is the algae species that has accounted for nearly all of blooms. This algae species is unique in that the toxins produced during the bloom are a neurotoxin that can kill fish and marine mammals and become airborne and affect the respiratory system of humans. The fact that such blooms, referred to locally as “red tides” since a bloom can discolor the water a reddish-brown color, can affect humans is potentially disastrous to a state like Florida that...

Adoption and Abandonment of Precision Soil Sampling in Cotton Production
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Walton,   Jonathan C.; Roberts,   Roland K.; Lambert,   Dayton M.; Larson,   James A.; English,   Burton C.; Larkin,   Sherry L.; Martin,   Steven W.; Marra,   Michele C.; Paxton,   Kenneth W.; Reeves,   Jeanne M.
Technology adoption in precision agriculture has received considerable attention, while abandonment has received little. Our objective was to identify factors motivating adoption and abandonment of precision soil sampling in cotton. Results indicate younger producers who farmed more cotton area, owned more of their cropland, planted more non-cotton area, used a computer, or used a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) were more likely to adopt precision soil sampling. Those with more cotton area or who owned livestock were more likely to abandon, while those who used precision soil sampling longer, used a PDA, or used variable-rate fertilizer application were less likely to abandon.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lee,   Donna J.; Larkin,   Sherry L.; Adams,   Charles M.
Overcapitalization in the U.S. Atlantic Swordfish fishery has led to a proposed limited access system.  A bioeconomic programming model was developed to evaluate the propsed program under various assumptions regarding fleet heterogeneity and composition.  Results indicate that regulations based on more realistic assumptions will lead to higher industry profits.

Economic Impacts of Red Tide Events on Restaurant Sales
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Morgan,   Kimberly L.; Larkin,   Sherry L.
The economic impact of red tide events were examined for three Southwest Florida waterfront restaurants. Daily gross sales from January 1996 through September were analyzed using a multiple regression time series model to examine whether the presence of a red tide, as measured within three and six miles of the beach, reduced sales revenues. Preliminary results indicate that red tide blooms closer to shore had a significantly large negative influence on sales revenues across restaurant locations.

Buyback Programs for Capacity Reduction in the U.S. Atlantic Shark Fishery
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Larkin,   Sherry L.; Keithly,   Walter R., Jr.; Adams,   Charles M.; Kazmierczak,   Richard F., Jr.
Declining fishery stocks, increasing fishing effort and adverse market conditions have produced difficult financial situations for fishermen worldwide.  Several high-valued fisheries are considered to be overcapitalized.  The purchase and permanent retirement of fishing vessels and/or permits under a buyback program is one approach for reducing fishing capacity.  Evidence from previous programs, however, suggests that buybacks are not a panacea for solving overcapacity problems.  Whether such programs can help rebuild stocks and improve the financial condition of fleets in any specific fishery depends on a multitude of factors.  We consider the potential of a buyback program for the U.S. Atlantic shark fishery.

Personal digital assistants (PDA) and handheld global positioning systems (GPS) have become increasingly important in cotton production but little is known about their use. This research analyzed the adoption of PDA/handheld GPS devices in cotton production. A younger farmer who used a computer in farm management and had a positive perception of Extension had a greater likelihood of adopting the devices. In addition, farmers who used complementary remote sensing, plant mapping, and grid soil sampling information were more likely to use PDA/handheld GPS devices. Finally, the COTMAN in-field decision support program from Extension also positively impacted adoption.

Many studies on the adoption of precision technologies have generally used logit models to explain the adoption behavior of individuals. This study investigates factors affecting the number of specific types of precision agriculture technologies adopted by cotton farmers. Particular attention is given to the influence of spatial yield variability on the number of precision farming technologies adopted, using a Count data estimation procedure and farm-level data. Results indicate that farmers with more within-field yield variability adopted a larger number of precision agriculture technologies. Younger and better educated producers and the number of precision agriculture technologies were significantly correlated. Finally, farmers using computers for...

A Double Hurdle Model of Preferences for a Proposed Capacity Reduction Program in the Atlantic Shark Fishery
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Musengezi,   Jessica D.; Rossi,   Frederick J.; Larkin,   Sherry L.
The Atlantic shark fishery is considered to be overcapitalized. One approach to capacity management is the purchase and permanent retirement of fishing vessels, fishing permits, or both under voluntary buyback programs. Representatives of the commercial shark fishery have proposed such an approach to manage the overcapacity in their fishery in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic regions. This program would allow owners to submit willingness-to-accept (WTA) bids for their permits and vessels. This study uses econometric modeling to explain the potential participation and bid amounts from a survey of permit owners.

Binary logit analysis was used to identify the factors influencing adoption of Global Positioning System (GPS) guidance systems by cotton farmers in 11 Mid-south and Southeastern states. Results indicate that adoption was more likely by those who had already adopted other precision-farming practices and had used computers for farm management. In addition, younger and more affluent farmers were more likely to adopt. Farmers with larger farms and with relatively high yields were also more likely to adopt. Education was not a significant factor in a farmer’s decision to adopt GPS guidance systems.

Improving Environmental Quality in South Florida through Silvopasture: An Economic Approach
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Stainback,   G. Andrew; Alavalapati,   Janaki R.R.; Shrestha,   Ram K.; Larkin,   Sherry L.; Wong,   Grace.
A dynamic optimization model is used to compare the profitability of silvopasture with traditional cattle ranching in south Florida.  Silvopasture can reduce phosphorus runoff from cattle ranching-a major environmental concern for Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades.  Silvopasture can also sequester carbon, thereby offsetting global climate change.  The effectiveness of phosphorus runoff taxes and carbon sequestration payments for inducting landowners to adopt silvopasture is investigated.  We find that phosphorus taxes alone would not induce landowners to adopt silvopasture.  However, payments to landowners to sequester carbon, alone or in conjunction with phosphorus runoff taxes, can make silvopasture financially competitive with traditional ranching.

The probability of adopting variable-rate input application technology was higher for younger farmers who operated larger farms, owned more of the land they farmed, were more informed about the costs and benefits of precision farming, and were optimistic about the future of precision farming. Computer use was not important, possibly because custom hiring shifts the burden of computer use to agribusiness firms.

Portfolio Analysis for Optimal Seafood Product Diversification and Resource Management
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sylvia,   Gilbert; Tuininga,   Chris; Larkin,   Sherry L.
Future harvests from commercial fish stocks are unlikely to increase substantially due to biological and regulatory constraints. Developing alternative sets of processed seafood products is one strategy for increasing welfare while managing the risks inherent in a variable and renewable natural resource. To quantify the risk-benefit tradeoffs of alternative strategies, a portfolio decision framework is embedded into a multi-period bioeconomic model. The model is used to generate an efficient portfolio frontier to estimate possible rent dissipation from status quo management. Frontiers are also generated for seafood processors and brokers. Implications for the different industry agents are discussed.

Estimating the Cost of Preserving Private Lands in Florida: An Hedonic Analysis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Larkin,   Sherry L.; Alavalapati,   Janaki R.R.; Shrestha,   Ram K.
Florida’s open-space land-acquisition program is one of the most aggressive in the country, with $3.7 billion paid for 3.8 million acres since 1972.  Using data from the Conservation and Recreational Lands (CARL) program, hedonic analyses found that acquiring private lands with valuable natural resources, habitat for rare species, and important historical sites for public preservation is more costly.  Development potential and pressure also increased acquisition costs.  The presence of additional endangered natural elements and needing to contract with additional landowners, however, were found to decrease the cost.  Results provide a basis for landowners and land-acquisition agencies to negotiate.

We used survey data collected from cotton farmers in 12 southern U.S. states to identify factors influencing cotton farmers’ decisions to adopt precision farming. Using a seemingly unrelated ordered probit model, we found that younger, educated and computer literate farmers chose precision farming for profit reason. Farmers who perceived precision farming to be profitable adopt it to be at the forefront of agricultural technology. We also found that farmers who were concerned with environment emphasize precision farming adoption as a reason to improve environmental quality. Our results also indicate that farmers in coastal states such as Alabama, Mississippi, and North Carolina chose environmental benefits as a reason for precision farming technology...

Adoption of precision agriculture technology has arrived considerable attention, but abandonment has received little.  This paper identified factors motivating adoption and abandonment of precision soils sampling in cotton.  Younger producers who farmed more cotton area, owned more of their cropland, planted more non-cotton area, or used a computer were more likely to adopt precision soil sampling.  Those with more cotton area or who owned livestock were more likely to abandon, while those who used precision soil sampling longer, or used variable-rate fertilizer application were less likely to abandon precision soil sampling.
