Fault reactivation and rift localization: Northeastern Gulf of Aden margin
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Bellahsen, N; Fournier, M; D'Acremont, E; Leroy, S; Daniel, Jm.
[1] The Gulf of Aden and the Sheba spreading ridge ( Gulf of Aden) forms the southern boundary of the Arabian Plate. Its orientation ( 075 degrees E) and its kinematics ( about 030 degrees E divergence) are interpreted as the result of an oblique rifting. In this contribution, a field study in the northeastern Gulf of Aden allows us to confirm the Oligo-Miocene synrift directions of extension and to precise the normal fault network geometry. The synrift extensions are 020 degrees E and 160 degrees E ( possibly in this chronological order); the normal faults strike 070 degrees E, 090 degrees E, and 110 degrees E. The results show that some characteristics are consistent with oblique rifting analogue models, while some others are not. Especially, fault...

A mezőgazdasági tanácsadás jelentős múltra tekint vissza hazánkban. Legfőbb célja, hogy a gazdáknak továbbított információk és ismeretek közvetítésével hozzájáruljon az eredményes gazdálkodáshoz, mert a gazdálkodók szakmai felkészültségében hiányosságok tapasztalhatók, jelentősek a különbségek az üzemméretekben, valamint az eredményekben. A hatékony szaktanácsadási rendszerrel szemben támasztott követelmények hazánkban csak részben teljesülnek, a jelenlegi struktúra számos területen beavatkozást igényel, így a szolgáltatók közötti feladatmegosztásban, a tanácsadók felkészültségében, a tanácsadási szolgáltatások iránti igényben, valamint a rendszer hatékonyságát illetően.

Determinants of Improved Maize Seed and Fertilizer Use in Kenya: Policy Implications
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ouma,   James Okuro; De Groote,   Hugo; Owuor,   George.
Maize is a key food crop in Kenya. While maize yields increased from 1.25 t ha-1 in early 1960s to over 2 tonnes in 1982, they fell below 1.5 t ha-1 in 2000. Given the limited land area, there is no doubt that Kenya will have to rely more on modern technologies for increased yields .Use of improved maize varieties and fertilizers will therefore continue to be critical inputs for improving productivity. To improve production, it is important to understand factors determining adoption and intensity of use of modern technologies. A stratified 2-stage sampling design was used to select 1800 households, subsequently interviewed by means of structured questionnaire. Econometric models were used to explore factors influencing adoption and intensity of use of the...

AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS RESEARCH AND EXTENSION MARKETING PROGRAMS: HOW WELL ARE THEY INTEGRATED?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brorsen,   B. Wade; Anderson,   Kim B.
Extension marketing economists were surveyed to determine whether they are using available research results and whether research is being conducted on topics relevant to extension marketing economists.  In some cases, the beliefs of extension marketing economists differ from recent research results.  The research topics recommended by extension economists and the topics of papers presented at the 1994-97 annual NCR-134 Conference on Applied Commodity Price Analysis, Forecasting, and Market Risk Management are well matched.  While relevant research is being done, many extension economists desire marketing strategies that both reduce risk and increase income.  Research, however, has not produced such strategies.

REGIONAL TRENDS IN EXTENSION SYSTEM RESOURCES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ahearn,   Mary Clare; Yee,   Jet; Bottum,   John S.
In 1914, the Cooperative Extension Service was established to disseminate information about agriculture and home economics from land-grant universities to the U.S. public. At that time, about 30 percent of U.S. workers were in agriculture-related occupations; by the late 1990s, that share had declined to about 1 percent. Today, the Extension System ("Extension") is largely publicly funded and links the educational and research arms of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, land-grant universities, and related institutions. The system has changed along with its audience. The number of full-time-equivalent Extension personnel dropped by 12 percent from 1977 to 1997, with the largest declines found in community resource development and 4-H youth programs, two of...

MORALE AND FACULTY DEVELOPMENT IN AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Purcell,   Wayne D.
Morale and faculty development are closely related. The agricultural economics profession must decide what it is about. There is room to practice the principle of comparative advantage and allow a degree of specialization in teaching, extension, and research. To continue in the role of an applied discipline, there must also be an opportunity for the young professional to establish rapport with, and understanding of, the private sector and the policy-making arena. If that is to happen, there must be encouragement in the institutional setting and by faculty colleagues who respect the importance of investment in building rapport and in establishing credibility. If that environment is present, morale should be good and faculty development will occur.

Do Management Profiles Matter? An Analysis of Belgian Dairy Farmers
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Vandermersch,   Mieke; Mathijs,   Erik.
To assess the performance of a farmer and to identify best practice among a group of farmers, the assumption is often made that all farmers maximize profits and thus share the same business goals. However, performance differs due to personal characteristics, objectives and strategies. A survey carried out among 73 Belgian dairy farmers revealed that for only 34% of the farmers "profit maximization" is a primary objective. A regression analysis revealed that self-declared profit maximizers only obtained a higher farm income per liter, not per labour unit. Through cluster analysis, four main groups of farmers were found with similar objectives and management ideas: (A) risk-taking and progressive cow farmers, (B) riskaverse and progressive labour savers, (C)...

A New Look at the Agricultural Community as Extension Clientele in the West
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tranel,   Jeffrey E.; Hewlett,   John P.; Weigel,   Randolph R.; Rahman,   Tauhidur; Teegerstrom,   Trent; Ehmke,   Cole.
This report presents the preliminary results of a statistically valid 2006 survey of small agricultural producers (sales of less than $50,000) in three Western states (Wyoming, Colorado and Arizona). The West has undergone significant change, and the composition of farm managers has changed with it. This report provides information from farm operators in the rural West  on their perceived threats as well as characteristics of themselves and their operations. Topics of interest were demographics, reasons for involvement in agriculture, income, resource management (crops and livestock), and preferences for information delivery. The project was supported by the Western Center for Risk Management Education.

Autores: Mullally,   Conner.
This essay is an evaluation of year one of the Rural Business Development (RBD) program for small rice farmers in León, Nicaragua. The RBD program is administered by the Millennium Challenge Corporation, and is designed to deliver agricultural extension advice and affordable credit in the form of inputs to farm households. This essay estimates the average impact of the program on rice yields and revenues utilizing inverse propensity score weighting combined with linear regression. In conducting statistical inference, it also accounts for the fact that agricultural outcomes are likely correlated over space in a small area such as the one studied here. The results suggest that the program had no impact on average, likely due to the presence of a severe...

Autores: Jones,   Rodney D.; Goheen,   Alicia; Dhuyvetter,   Kevin C.; Kastens,   Terry L.; Amanor-Boadu,   Vincent.
This paper provides an overview of the development of the Management Analysis and Strategic Thinking (MAST) program conducted by Kansas State University. This intensive management training course for progressive farm and agribusiness operators is being delivered successfully using a combination of face-to-face and distance extension delivery techniques. We find that some parts of the program are best delivered face to face and other parts are best delivered via distance. Of participants surveyed, 94% would recommend the MAST program to their peers, and 100% believe the program will have a positive impact on their businesses' bottom line.

SELECTING DELIVERY METHODS FOR OUTREACH EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Carter,   Bryson R.; Batte,   Marvin T.
Farmer perceptions of extension program delivery methods and an analysis of the relationships of method and farmer characteristics to evaluation scores are presented.  Evaluation scores tend to increase with written, interactive and variable-scheduled methods and methods where users determine the agenda.  Evaluations tend to be lower for high user cost and "high-tech" methods.  Substantial similarity of results exists across groups of farmers differing by age, education levels, farm size and farm type.  There are differences, however, in absolute valuation of the method characteristics across the groups.

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.

The adoption of water saving irrigation practices in the Region of West Macedonia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Michailidis,   Anastasios; Nastis,   Stefanos A.; Loizou,   Efstratios; Mattas,   Konstadinos.
The use of irrigation water for agricultural production requires innovative and sustainable research and an appropriate transfer of water saving technologies. The main aim of this paper is to explore the irrigating behaviour of farmers examining factors affecting their decision to adopt novel water saving practices. In order to achieve the above aim both summary statistics and multivariate methodologies are employed. In particular, a two-step cluster analysis was used to explore the different adoption levels of water saving practices and a categorical regression model was estimated to explain this variation. Data were collected through a survey addressing 400 irrigators, carried out in 2008 in a typical Greek rural area. Results show that although...

Effectiveness of agricultural extension with respect to farm size: The case of Uganda
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Betz,   Michael R.
Raising the incomes of agricultural households is central to reducing poverty in Uganda. In many areas of the country agriculture has encroached into marginal or fragile lands, leaving little room for the expansion of agricultural lands (Kraybill, Bashaasha, and Betz 2009). Additionally, soil degradation has become a barrier to agricultural productivity (Pender et al. 2004), especially in the Eastern region of the country. Farmers now look for alternatives that will increase output without further depleting soil fertility or expanding into fragile lands. Agricultural extension is the primary government mechanism through which developing country governments attempt to improve the knowledge and methods that farmers use to increase output; However, many...

While the demand for traditional agricultural economics is diminishing, there is a growing need for the economics and management of the food sector and the environment. Departments of agricultural economics have shown great flexibility in including agribusiness in their Bachelor's and Master's teaching programs. Ph.D and research programs appear to adjust more slowly to changing demand. Although agricultural economics programs are providing a variety of service course offerings, opportunities for joint programs with biological, physical, and natural sciences, particularly resource management, are not being exploited. If business schools decide to compete for agribusiness students in the future, missed opportunities with other departments and schools may...

STRUCTURAL CHANGE IN HIGHER EDUCATION: IMPLICATIONS FOR AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS EXTENSION; OR DOES DIFFEDENCE, DECADENCE AND DISSONANCE MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: McDowell,   George R.
Discussion of changes taking place in American agriculture followed by a review of the traditional model of extension suggests there is dissonance between what is needed to inform contemporary agriculture and what extension actually does.  The paper further suggests that difficulty in packaging the newly needed information in ways that achieve the institutional maintenance objectives of extension explain a part of the system's decadence and reluctance to charge.  Since the intellectual problems of market failure, even political market failure, are within the domain of economists, diffidence by agricultural economists to those issues within the Land-Grant system can make a difference.

Cash Wheat Marketing: Strategies for Real People
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brorsen,   B. Wade; Anderson,   Kim B.
A new paradigm is needed in extension marketing programs. Attempts to help producers time the market, either through cask sales or futures trading, appear to be of little benefit. Marketing extension programs need to place less emphasis on outlook and futures trading and more emphasis on simple marketing strategies that people really use. An empirical example of strategies for Oklahoma wheat producers shows selling cash wheat at harvest and participating in government programs as the preferred marketing strategy.  Implications for extension programs in other states are that extension programs can help producers decide whether to store their grain and whether to participate in farm programs.

This article examines farmers’ preferences for various risk management information sources. Our results suggest that information from risk management experts, in-depth materials studied on their own, and popular press outlets tend to be preferred and are ranked highly by producers. Using a regression model to investigate farmer/farm attributes that affect preference for a particular risk management information source, we find that younger farmers with college education, higher leverage, assets greater than $1 million, risk-loving attitudes, and who have used professional services (marketing consultants) tend to prefer information from risk management experts, the Internet, and marketing clubs/other producers. On the other hand, producers who prefer...

The organics sector is expanding rapidly and the Board of Organics Aotearoa New Zealand considers that the future provision of an extension service is needed to underpin the ability of producers to efficiently convert to organic systems and then to further develop the sustainability of their systems. This project commissioned by Organics Aotearoa New Zealand in 2008 considers four possible organisational structures for delivering such a service. The first possible structure is a complete extension service for organic producers that combines national coordination, standard setting and information management with a local problem-solving and sector development service. Option 2 is a more centralised option, especially useful for producers at the beginning of...

Autores: Jenkins,   Amanda; Velandia,   Margarita M.; Lambert,   Dayton M.; Roberts,   Roland K.; Larson,   James A.; English,   Burton C.; Martin,   Steven W.
Precision farming information demanded by cotton producers is provided by various suppliers, including consultants, farm input dealerships, University Extension systems, and media sources. Factors associated with the decisions to select among information sources to search for precision farming information are analyzed using a multivariate probit regression accounting for correlation among the different selection decisions. Factors influencing these decisions are age, education, and income. These findings should be valuable to precision farming information providers who may be able to better meet their target clientele needs.

The development of Hungarian agricultural business economics and management used to evolve in accordance with international leaders of the sector. On the other hand, a paradox situation has emerged in Hungary in the last two decades, in which such knowledge is only partially applied as a consequence of insufficient knowledge transfer and highly restructured agriculture.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Singh,   Rajinder Pal; Brennan,   John P.; Lacy,   John; Steel,   Felicity.
Ricecheck, a best management practices extension program for rice production in Australia, was developed by the NSW Department of Primary Industries advisory staff, Finley, in 1986. The program is based on eight best management practice recommendations called ‘Key Checks’ that are considered essential for achieving high yields. Economic analysis of the program reveals that there are significant financial, social and environment benefits from the adoption of the program. The results further reveal that the funds invested since 1986 by both NSW Department of Primary Industries and the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation have been sound investments.

Does It Matter Who Scouts?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lichtenberg,   Erik; Berlind,   Ayesha Velderman.
Scouting is the most widely used integrated pest management technique adopted by U.S. growers. This study applies an implicit demand formulation of the Lichtenberg-Zilberman damage abatement model to data from a survey of Maryland field crop growers to examine differences in pesticide demand between growers using scouts trained and supervised by extension and those using chemical dealer employees or scouting themselves. The results give partial support to those skeptical of the quality of scouting by farmers themselves and by consultants working for chemical dealers. Soybean growers using extension-trained scouts had significantly lower pesticide demand than those using chemical dealer employees or scouting themselves. However, no significant differences...

THE ROLE OF PROFESSIONAL AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS ASSOCIATIONS IN SHAPING NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL POLICY: THE CASE OF SERiA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Florkowski,   Wojciech J.
This paper describes the establishment of the professional organization of agricultural economists in Poland as the response of the profession to uncertainties associated with the transition to a market economy and the demand for socio-emotional goods. This demand and the accumulated social capital were essential for the successful functioning of the SERiA. The example of establishing a similar organization can be repeated if adequate social capital and the desire for distinction, self-regard and validation coincide.
