| A brief review of the beef and cattle market following the diagnosis of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) in Canada and U.S. in 2003 is conducted. The focus is on the recent changes in the beef market experienced by major exporting and importing countries with special emphasis on the beef trade and cattle industry in the U.S. A single case of BSE in the U.S. has significantly disrupted global beef trade. Many countries banned beef imports from the U.S. and Canada. Continuation of these bans through 2004, particularly for the U.S., resulted in reduced beef exports. Brazil has become the number one beef exporter with estimated exports of 1.47 million tons in 2004 and is forecast to export 1.62 million tons in 2005. U.S. is the largest beef... |

| Beef cattle enterprises for the 91% of Texas producers with less than 100 cows represent secondary or supplemental enterprises. In most cases the operator is depending on surplus or discretional labor and the alternate use of the physical resources is limited due to topography or environmental factors. These characteristics transform the decision making process from a variable resource allocation problem to a fixed resource problem. Monthly average prices for 300-900 lb stocker steers, divided into 50 lb intervals, are analyzed for three market locations for the period 1992-1999. Consistent price roll back is observed as the price per cwt decreases as the weight increases. However, as the reduction in price is more than offset by the increase in value due... |

| Production data provided by commercial producers of grain sorghum is used to estimate response functions for three alternative management decision models. The evaluation of yield to the total water availability, irrigation, and water application as a percent of potential evapotranspiration. The three methods provide similar results, but each provides unique information and adds valuable information to the decision process. The value product functions and the energy cost function are used to determine the profit maximizing level of water application where adequate water to fully meet the crop needs is available and to determine the irrigation vs. no irrigation decision where water availability is limiting. |

| The Texas Panhandle is one of the most unique and diversified agricultural areas in the world. Production agriculture contributes $3.41 billion in value-added production and more than $6.32 billion in economic activity annually. Eighty-five percent of the states fed beef, 45.8 percent of the wheat, 61.9 percent of the corn, and 23.0 percent of the sorghum are produced in the region. The growing livestock industry has accelerated the demand for feed grains in the area and has increased irrigation water demand. The Ogallala Aquifer is the primary source of irrigation water in the region. The depletion of the Ogallala by the excessive pumping of water is threatening the rural economy of the area. There is a critical need for developing sound water... |

| Agricultural producers in the Texas High Plains are facing the worst comparative economic conditions since 1913. Under these circumstances it is desirable to evaluate which programs are beneficial to agricultural producers and which ones are not. The concept of Integrated Pest Management was introduced to the Texas High Plains in 1976 and since then many IPM practices have been adopted for the four major crops; corn, cotton, sorghum, and wheat. The reduction in production cost is used as a measure of economic benefit and contingent valuation is used to estimate the value of the environmental benefits. The IPM practices, which have been adopted, reduce the production cost by more than $173 million per year. In addition the practices reduce... |

| The beef cattle enterprises for most of the 91% of producers in Texas with less than 100 cows represent secondary or supplemental enterprises utilizing discretionary labor and fixed physical resources. The decision making process is transformed from a variable resource allocation problem to a fixed resource problem. Reliable price and revenue expectation models are critical to selecting marketing alternatives that maximize the return to the fixed resource allocation. Price expectation models using expected values, price and revenue indexes, and conditional probabilities are developed using monthly average prices for 300-900 lb stocker steers at Amarillo, TX from 1992 to 2002. |
