Última Farming Options for Ameliorating Acidifying Soils in South - Eastern Australia: An Economic Assessment. AgEcon Islam, Q.; Mullen, John D.; Brennan, John P.; Li, G.D.; Helyar, K.R.; Jones, Randall E.. Acid and acidifying soils occur extensively in Australia. Currently, some 90 million hectares of agricultural land in Australia is considered to be acidic and around 35 million hectares are considered to be highly acidic which is both a serious agricultural and environmental problem. The nature, impact, and causes of soil acidification vary across Australia, as do farming systems and the institutional and socioeconomic issues relating to land management. In high-rainfall areas of south-eastern Australia, managing acid soils is particularly difficult in permanent pasture systems. In this paper, an economic analysis is made of the results of a long-term trial (MASTER – Managing Acid Soils Through Efficient Rotations) aimed at developing a sustainable...

Ano: 1999 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/123818 An Economic Evaluation of Research into the Improved Management of the Annual Grass Weed Vulpia in Temperate Pastures in South-Eastern Australia AgEcon Vere, David T.; Jones, Randall E.; Dowling, Peter. NSW Agriculture has a history of research investment in managing weed problems in the temperate pasture areas. One focus of that research has been on the development of improved management practices for the major annual grass weed vulpia. Recent surveys have found that weeds comprised up to 80% of pasture biomass in some temperate areas and that typical vulpia contents are between 30 and 40% of pasture biomass. Temperate pasture degradation is recognised as being a major contributor to the wider environmental problems of soil erosion, salinity and acidity. This evaluation related to a project (1996-2002) that focussed on the vulpia problem in the New South Wales temperate pasture areas. The benefits of that research were measured as the difference in the...

Ano: 2004 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/42503 A Dynamic Optimisation Model of Weed Control AgEcon Jones, Randall E.; Cacho, Oscar J.. It is argued in this paper that static approaches to weed management, where the benefits and costs are only considered within a single season, are inappropriate for assessing the economic benefits of weed control technologies. There are carryover effects from weed management as weeds that escape control in one season may reproduce and replenish weed populations in following seasons. Consequently, it is appropriate to view weed control in the context of a resource management problem where the goal is to determine the optimal inter-temporal level of weed control that maximises economic benefits over some pre-determined period of time. A dynamic optimisation model for weed control is presented. Using the tools of comparative static analysis and Pontryagin's... Tipo: Presentation Palavras-chave: Crop Production/Industries.

Ano: 2005 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/118440 A bioeconomic model for determining the optimal response to a new weed incursion in Australian cropping systems AgEcon Jayasuriya, Rohan T.; Jones, Randall E.. Invasions by non-indigenous plant species pose serious economic threats to Australian agricultural industries. When an invasion is discovered a decision has to be made as to whether to attempt to eradicate it, contain it or do nothing. These decisions should be based on long term benefits and costs. This paper describes a bioeconomic simulation framework with a mathematical model representing weed spread linked to a dynamic programming model to provide a means of determining the economically optimal weed management strategies over time. The modelling framework is used to evaluate case study invasive weed control problems in the Australian grains industry.

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/6015 The economic cost of weeds in dryland cotton production systems of Australia AgEcon Hoque, Ziaul; Farquharson, Robert J.; Taylor, Ian; Walker, Steve; Osten, Vikki; Jones, Randall E.. Economic losses and costs associated with weeds in dryland cotton production are important, both for growers and for industry bodies when making decisions about research priorities and research and development funding. A survey was conducted to provide information on weed types, control strategies and estimated costs to growers. We used information from the survey to estimate conventional financial losses due to weeds, and as a basis for evaluating aggregate economic (society) impacts. An economic surplus model was used to estimate the aggregate societal impact of weeds for three production regions in north-eastern Australia. The annual economic costs associated with weeds were estimated to be $41 million, and the on-farm financial costs were $25 million....

Ano: 2003 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/57893 Land Salinisation, Waterlogging and the Agricultural Benefits of a Surface Drainage Scheme in Benerembah Irrigation District AgEcon Jones, Randall E.; Marshall, Graham R.. Soil salinisation and waterlogging are significant problems in the Irrigation Areas and Districts of southern New South Wales. Various actions can be taken at either a regional or farm level to alleviate these problems. District surface drainage, sub-surface drainage, pumping from deep aquifers and changes to water pricing policies are regional options, while possible on-farm options include laser controlled landforming, pumping groundwater from shallow aquifers, recycling drainage water, changes to crops and rotations and the adoption of improved irrigation systems. The purpose of this study was to analyse the agricultural benefits of a surface drainage scheme proposed for an Irrigation District in the Murrumbidgee Valley. The objective of the analysis...

Ano: 1992 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/7423 On-farm Economics of Laser Landforming for Rice Farmers AgEcon Marshall, Graham R.; Jones, Randall E.. The whole farm financial effects of laser land forming were analysed using a two stage modelling procedure. In the first stage, linear programming models of representative Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area (MIA) rice farms were used to predict the profit-maximising activity mixes with and without successive increments of land forming. In the second stage, the profit-maximising activity mixes with and without an increment became inputs into a spreadsheet model designed to undertake discounted cash flow analysis of investment in the increment. The transition over time of yields to the achievable levels for land formed layouts was accounted for in the spreadsheet model, as were the effects of taxation (including taxation concessions for land forming) and access to...

Ano: 1993 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/10323 Valuing the benefits from preserving threatened native fauna and flora from invasive animal pests AgEcon Gong, Wendy; Sinden, Jack A.; Jones, Randall E.. Invasive animal pests inflict many kinds of damage on the environment, and threaten native fauna and flora. We attempt to value the benefits from the extra biodiversity that is protected if these threats were removed. The NSW Rural Lands Protection Board is a major agency that undertakes pest control, and is organised into 48 districts across the state. A cross-sectional set of data on Board expenditures, pest abundance, and environmental and climatic characteristics, was compiled by district and analysed. The number of threatened native plant and animal species increases with pest abundance and with the total number of native species present in the district. But the number of threatened species decreases as Board expenditures on pest control increase. The...

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/5995 Economics of Integrated Catchment Management AgEcon Marshall, Graham R.; Wall, Lisa M.; Jones, Randall E.. Integrated Catchment Management (ICM) can be viewed as an institutional instrument designed to ameliorate losses of economic efficiency that have arisen due to incomplete specification of the privileges and restrictions attached to property rights. If applied appropriately ICM can facilitate the emergence of a market in which parties disadvantaged by incomplete specification attempt to bribe those advantaged, with the aim of obtaining the latter's agreement to more complete specification. The instrument provides potential for transactions costs of bargaining to be reduced substantially by reducing the number of parties eligible to participate in, and installing the state as broker and arbiter of, the bargaining process. Participation by sub-catchment... Tipo: Journal Article Palavras-chave: Resource /Energy Economics and Policy.

Ano: 2000 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/12902 An Economic Evaluation of a Pest Management Control Program: "Outfox the Fox" AgEcon Jones, Randall E.; Saunders, Glen; Balogh, Suzy. Foxes are regarded as a serious pest of environmental and grazing systems in Australia. The fox is a recognised predator of native wildlife and has been a significant contributor to the population decline of many native mammal, bird and reptile species. There are also claims that foxes may account for up to 30% of lamb mortalities in some areas, while mortality due to predation of 2 to 5% is more likely in most regions. The ‘Outfox the Fox’ program was established by NSW Agriculture in conjunction with a number of Rural Land Protection Boards to achieve a more strategic and coordinated fox baiting program. This program relies on a community driven and integrated management approach to the problem. The main features are to synchronise baiting across...

Ano: 2005 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/42653 Sheep CRC Renewal Proposal: Economic Evaluation of the Proposed Scientific Themes AgEcon Griffith, Garry R.; Vere, David T.; Jones, Randall E.. The Australian sheep industry and its associated research and development agencies have developed a proposal for the CRC for Sheep Industry Innovation. “Top-down” and “bottomup” procedures were used to assess the expected economic benefits from this proposal. Formal “with-CRC” and “without-CRC” scenarios were defined for each product and each research theme. Relevant costs were similarly defined. The requested investment by the Commonwealth and the Australian sheep industry in the CRC is assessed relative to a scenario where an alternative, lower cost research program into this industry is implemented. These extra resources have a discounted value of about $34 million over the 25-year period of this evaluation. These resources are sufficient to allow some...

Ano: 2006 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/42656 Sustainability, Externalities and Economics: The Case of Temperate Perennial Grazing Systems in NSW AgEcon Jones, Randall E.; Dowling, Peter. The replacement of perennial grass species by undesirable annual grass weeds not only results in lower productivity but is also contributes to a range of external costs. In particular, shallow rooted annuals result in greater deep drainage and therefore a greater potential for salinity, and greater volumes of runoff of poor quality water to streams. In this paper an economic framework for examining the sustainability issues of a perennial grazing system on the NSW Central Tablelands is presented. This involves a combination of simulation and dynamic programming models, with the state of the system represented by variables for the perennial grass composition and soil fertility. The paper examines a range of management strategies that increase the perennial...

Ano: 2004 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/42504 Dynamic general equilibrium analysis of improved weed management in Australia's winter cropping systems AgEcon Wittwer, Glyn; Vere, David T.; Jones, Randall E.; Griffith, Garry R.. A recent analysis indicated that the direct financial cost of weeds to Australia’s winter grain sectorwas approximately $A1.2bn in 1998–1999. Costs of thismagnitude represent a large recurring productivity loss in an agricultural sector that is sufficient to impact significantly on regional economies.Using amulti-regional dynamic computable general equilibrium model, we simulate the general equilibrium effects of a hypothetical successful campaign to reduce the economic costs of weeds. We assume that an additional $50m of R&D spread over five years is targeted at reducing the additional costs and reduced yields arising from weeds in various broadacre crops. Following this R&D effort, one-tenth of the losses arising from weeds is temporarily... Tipo: Article Palavras-chave: CGE modelling; Dynamics; Weed management; Crop Production/Industries. Ano: 2005 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/118584 Water Allocation and Supply Reliability in the Murrumbidgee Valley AgEcon Jones, Randall E.; Musgrave, Warren F.; Bryant, Mike. The objective of this study is to determine the average annual income and income variance of alternative irrigation water allocations and associated supply reliabilities in the Murrumbidgee Valley. Traditionally, water supply authorities have aimed to supply irrigators with their full allocations in all but the most severe drought years. This means that a substantial amount of water is held in storage as a reserve and in most years it is not utilised for irrigation or other, including environmental, purposes. In a climate where maximum economic returns for resources are required, water supply authorities are now reconsidering this policy of high reliability with a view to expanding water use for agricultural and environmental purposes. This study uses... Tipo: Journal Article Palavras-chave: Resource /Energy Economics and Policy. Ano: 1992 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/7422 Economic benefits of public investment in weed management: the case of vulpia in south-eastern Australia’s temperate pasture areas AgEcon Vere, David T.; Jones, Randall E.; Griffith, Garry R.. The present paper reports an economic evaluation of the long-term benefits to Australia of research by the Cooperative Research Centre for Weed Management Systems (CRC) into the improved management of vulpia , the major annual grass weed of temperate pastures in New South Wales and Victoria. Vulpia reduces livestock production by competition with more desirable pasture species, by the production of low quality feed at critical times of the grazing cycle, and by injury to animals. A 20-year stochastic benefit-cost analysis indicated that reducing the impacts of vulpia in these pastures produced a mean net present value of # A58.3 million and a mean benefit-cost ratio of 33:1. Temperate pasture zone wool producers would capture the largest shares of these... Tipo: Journal Article Palavras-chave: Agricultural and Food Policy; Farm Management. Ano: 2003 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/118162 Economic cost of environmental flows in an unregulated river system AgEcon Jones, Randall E.; Crean, Jason; Aluwihare, Parakrama B.; Letcher, Rebecca A.. This paper applies a stochastic dynamic programming framework, incorporating links to hydrological and biophysical models, to assess the economic costs of environmental flows in an unregulated river system in the Namoi Valley of northern New South Wales, Australia. Structural adjustment decisions are included in the model to account for farmer responses to changes in environmental flows through the introduction of a water sharing plan. The results of the analysis indicate that the proposed level of environmental flows reduces water extractions by around 6 per cent, and imposes an opportunity cost of less than 1 per cent in terms of reduced net income over a 20-year period.

Ano: 2007 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/118334 The on-farm impact of alternative grazing management options to improve sustainability in western Chinese grasslands AgEcon Jones, Randall E.; Kemp, David R.; Michalk, David; Takahashi, Taro. Chinese grasslands are suffering considerable pressures from human and livestock populations. It has been estimated that 90% of Chinese grasslands are suffering from light to heavy levels of degradation. Allied to this is the low household income of herders and farmers dependant upon livestock products for their livelihood. Although a range of reasons have been proposed for the high levels of grassland degradation, principal among these are the high stocking rates adopted by farmers. This not only results in high utilisation rates of the pasture biomass, leading to bare areas and soil erosion, but individual animal productivity rates also decline. This paper presents the results of a modelling study of a grassland system in Gansu Province and Inner...
