| The paper demonstrates a group incentive program to encourage farmer adoption of best management practices. It is demonstrated that the best management practices may not actually reduce farm profits but may increase farm profits and reduce environmental pollution. This may bring about a win-win situation for sponsor, the farmer participating in the program, and the society as a whole. The results show that the farmers subjective beliefs about response of corn yields and profits to nitrogen application differ from the simulated responses which in turn results in the willingness-to-Accept for adoption best management practices significantly higher than the expected program payments. The program could be implemented as an educational effort to... |

| The level of a country's long-term food-supply and agricultural export is basically determined by the agricultural and food industrial investments. In Hungary the level of the agricultural output have decreased considerably in the previous years, and the investments have dropped drastically at the beginning and in the middle of the 1990s. In the following years it is an important task to realize the missing developments, especially as our agriculture needs significant projects to comply with the increasing demands. It is necessary not only to increase the output, but also to improve the quality of the production and the products, because it is more and more important to supply the custumers with good-quality product both in the export and in the internal... |

| In the beef industry, as in many agricultural industries in Australia, there is a wealth of high quality capacity building available in topics such as animal breeding, nutrition, grazing land management, record keeping, property planning etc. However there are very few capacity building opportunities targeting (1) the higher level knowledge and skills needed to achieve both rapid and sustainable improvement and innovation, and (2) the knowledge and skills needed to lead and manage sustainable industry improvement and innovation. The BPP Capacity, Capability and Competency Strategy is designed to equip all BPP partners, teams and networkers with the knowledge, skills, resources and support to achieve and sustain beef business and industry improvement and... |

| The transition of East German agriculture led to major structural adjustments that showed some very particular phenomena. For instance, most of the successors of the former agricultural production cooperatives (LPGs) make slight losses and they operate at a higher employment level than new and re-established farms. In this paper we try to explain these phenomena with the farms' history prior to the transition period. Particular attention is given to sunk costs, the identity of members and employees, and old debts. A Data Envelopment Analysis of 210 financial statements distributed over the financial years 1992/93 to 1995/96 gives evidence that these historical arguments had a decisive impact on the farms' behaviour. However, this impact decreases over... |

| This paper examines the present use of resources which have left the dairy industry on the Far North Coast of New South Wales in recent years. The number of suppliers to dairy factories in the Richmond-Tweed area has declined by approximately 9 per cent per annum over the last four years. This decline is not simply a result of the economic position of the small dairy farmer; many other factors are also involved. Beef production is the dominant land use replacing dairying, and there is an associated decline in the intensity of labour use on farms. Many former dairy farmers have accepted a lower income as a result of leaving the industry. Non-farm employment has played a part in most increases in income which have occurred. |

| Kérdőíves felmérésünkből megállapítható, hogy a válaszadók főfoglalkozásként végzik tevékenységüket, de mindenképpen tartanak mellette más – többnyire hagyományos – haszonállatot is. Többen jól felismerték a lehetőséget – a fajta jellegéből, látványosságából adódóan – falusi turizmus létrehozására. A háztáji termékfeldolgozással, annak törvényi szabályozása miatt nem foglalkoznak, pedig az ízvilág megismertetése a fogyasztókkal remekül beilleszthető a vendégfogadásba. Jelenleg értékesítési nehézségekkel küzdenek a termelők. Ha történik is eladás, akkor is kizárólag belföldre, pedig ezzekkel a termékekkel a külföldi piacokat is meg lehetne célozni, kihasználva ezzel hazánk komparatív előnyeit. -------------------------------------------------------- Our... |

| This study analyzes farm labor management strategies of organic farms by employing Heckan selection model. Econometric results present interesting relationships between foreign worker-related variables and the hiring of non-family seasonal part-time workers. First, the extent of hiring is inversely related to the population of illegal residents. Second, the outcome variable (extent of hiring) is directly related to the number of H2A permits (foreign guest farm worker visas for temporary, contractual work) issued. The results also indicate that higher wages, corporate farms, and more educated, younger and full-time farm operators are associated with greater tendencies to hire non-family seasonal part-time workers. Family labor is used to supplement the... |

| In this paper the conceptual framework of individual farmers' adoption decisions of new agricultural technologies is used to identify factors that influence adoption modified fanya juu terraces in semi-arid eastern Kenya. The adoption decision model was specified using farm and farmers' characteristics and technology characteristics though likely to influence farmers' adoption behaviour. To test intensity of adoption a Torbit model was specified and estimated. Results of logit regression analysis reveal that access to markets, education, costs, technology attributes, labour, credit and risk preferences significantly influenced adoption decisions. Results from the estimated intensity of adoption model (tobit) show that variation in the proportion of land... |

| Farm adjustment is a complex process involving decisions by farmers about a wide range of economic and non-economic factors which influence the farm business and farm family. The economics literature emphasises the importance of economic factors in the adjustment behaviour of farmers. However, the observed adjustment behaviour of farmers does not correspond very closely to that predicted by that literature. Insights from the rural sociology and psychology literature offer new perspectives on farmer behaviour which are of relevance and use to both economic researchers and policy makers concerned with farm adjustment. |
