Increasing Profitability of Small Scale Orchard Producers through Optimizing Replacement Rate: The Case Study of Ghana
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mahrizal; Nalley,   Lawton Lanier; Dixon,   Bruce L.; Popp,   Jennie S. Hughes.
This study sets out to empirically estimate the optimum annual replacement rate and age of cocoa trees in order to maximize the net present value of four common cocoa production systems. The study examines the costs and returns of four common cocoa production systems in Ghana associated with changes in cocoa prices, fertilizer prices, inflation rates, and labor prices. While this study focuses on cocoa, the methodology is applicable to any perennial crop. This study uses empirical yield curves and cost of production data from Ghana to determine when and what percentage of a cocoa orchard should be replaced annually to maximize net present value of revenues over time. Successive versions of the model are solved to determine how input and output price...

PROFITABILITY OF VARIABLE RATE PHOSPHORUS IN A TWO CROP ROTATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Popp,   Jennie S. Hughes; Griffin,   Terry W.
In the Midwest, the adoption of precision farming technologies began in the early 1990s.  Research has produced  profiles of early adopters, evaluated adoption trends and has identified factors that influence the adoption and profitability of precision farming. Importantly, this information is available to producers, who are interested in precision farming  issues.  In addition, the Midwest regional agricultural industry, strong promoters of precision farming technologies, has gained the confidence of  farmers who now rely on them heavily for information on farming technologies. Precision farming in Arkansas, however,  is still in its infancy. Adoption levels lag far behind those in the Midwest.  Two reasons for this lag have been offered. First, some...

Factors Influencing Salaries of Agricultural Economics Professionals in Federal Employment - Part I
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Newton,   Doris J.; Popp,   Jennie S. Hughes; Abdula,   Arby; Pittman,   Dianne; Danforth,   Diana M.
Since the early 1900s much research has been conducted on salary gaps between men and women in different professions. While some of that work has focused on agricultural economics professionals, little research could be found specifically relating to agricultural economic professionals in federal employment.  A survey was sent to known agricultural economics professionals within USDA. The data from this survey are being used for two purposes. The first is to determine whether differences exist between men and women (and between employees in different agencies) in factors that influence job choice and potential problems in the workplace. The second is to identify factors that influence salaries of men and women agricultural economics professionals in...

Cost and benefits of using best management practices to control non-point sources of pollution under environmental and economic uncertainty
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rodriguez,   Hector German; Popp,   Jennie S. Hughes; Gbur,   Edward E.; Chaubey,   Indrajeet.
The economy of northwest Arkansas, including the Lincoln Lake watershed (a sub-watershed of the Illinois River), relies greatly upon livestock and poultry production. The supply of production by-products is increasingly under scrutiny as one of the potential sources of water pollution in the region. In light of the recent economic crisis, methodologies that help producers to evaluate the environmental and economic impacts of several practices before implementing them may be a cost-effective means of increasing BMP adoption. This study uses stochastic dominance techniques to evaluate, environmentally and economically, ten best management practices (BMPs) combinations to lessen water pollution in the Lincoln Lake watershed. All BMP combinations analyzed were...

Factors Influencing Salaries of Agricultural Economics Professionals at Land Grant Institutions
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Popp,   Jennie S. Hughes; Abdula,   Arby; Newton,   Doris J.; Pittman,   Dianne; Danforth,   Diana M.
Research in the mid 1900s suggested that salary gaps existed between men and women in academia. Though the research helped bring attention to salary gaps, less focus was on causes of salary differences.  More recent research suggested differences in salaries were based on performance.  A survey was sent to agricultural economics professionals at land grant intuitions to identify the factors that influence their salaries. Results of the ordered probit model suggest that seven variables can be used to explain salaries: having attained tenure, working at an 1862 institution, the amount of grant dollars, the number of journal articles, highest academic rank and the percentage of appointment that is in administration (positive influences) and importance of...

Use of On-Farm Reservoirs in Rice Production: Results from the MARORA Model
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Popp,   Jennie S. Hughes; Wailes,   Eric J.; Young,   Kenneth B.; Smartt,   Jim; Intarapapong,   Walaiporn.
The present article uses the modified Arkansas off-stream reservoir analysis and the environmental policy-integrated climate models to examine the impacts of on-farm reservoirs and tail water recovery systems in conjunction with other best management practices on profitability, water use, and sediment control for rice-soybean farming operations.  Results suggest that, under limited water availability conditions, reservoirs and tail water recovery systems can improve profitability, reduce ground water dependence, and reduce the movement of sediment, nutrients, and pesticides off-farm.  Although reservoirs may not be profitable under plentiful water conditions, cost-sharing opportunities may make them a viable means of addressing environmental concerns.
