| A pooled cross-sectional, time series econometric model is used to examine factors affecting farmland values in Oregon from 1954-1978. Value of sales per acre (a proxy used to represent income per acre), average farm size, and the percentage of farmland were found to have a significant effect on farmland values for the entire state during the study period. However, the results also indicate that structural changes in agricultural land markets occurred across time and across subregions. Population density was shown to be a significant factor in the Willamette Valley. A positive intercept shifter for 1969-74 and a negative slope shifter for the value of product sales in the same period may reflect a temporal diminishment in buyers tendencies to be... |

| A mathematical decision model is used to examine producers' decisions in selecting the optimum slaughter age for domestic deer and the subsequent impact of these decisions on aggregate stock numbers. Under current returns from velvet, producers are shown to be rational in keeping both male (stags) and female (hinds) animals in the herd until they approach their maximum biological age. A reduction in returns from velvet of 66% is needed to alter this age significantly for males. Data from the optimum slaughter age decision are used to project medium-term future venison production and herd numbers. The unique features of attempting to project future supplies in a newly developed livestock industry are discussed. |

| Reforms of agricultural marketing structures have been a major feature of agriculture in New Zealand and South Africa over the past two decades. The reforms in New Zealand varied, and were often measured and considered, with export control either officially or de facto existing in some sectors while others were cut adrift very quickly. Not surprisingly, the results have been mixed. In South Africa all controls were effectively cut adrift, and the jury is still out on the results. A feature of the New Zealand experience has been the adoption of new technologies and even new farming sectors. Productivity showed a distinctive break at 1984, the year of the reforms; up to that date an average of 1.5 percent, past that date an average of 2.5 percent. A similar... |
