POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF CHANGES TO GOVERNMENT PAYMENT LIMITS FOR MISSISSIPPI FARMS AgEcon
Miller, J. Corey; Coble, Keith H.; Vergara, Oscar; Broyles, Meredith E..
This paper examines the issue of government payment limits and how changes to these limits could impact program crops producers in Mississippi. Economic factors affecting the incidence of payment limits on various program crops are also discussed. The latest proposed change to payment limits, bill S. 667, is evaluated in contrast to the provisions of the current farm bill. Data from other states are also examined in order to obtain a better understanding of the regional differences in the application of payment limits.

A Comparison of the Great Mississippi River Floods of 1993 and 2011: Implications for Crop Insurance and Reinsurance AgEcon
Vergara, Oscar.
The flooding situation in 2011 is similar in nature to the Great Mississippi Flood of 1993, but different in the particulars. First, the timing of the flood within the growing season is different. Second, the two floods occurred in different regions, with the 1993 flood affecting a portion of the Corn Belt and the 2011 flood affecting a region farther south. While floodwaters have inundated several million acres of cropland in 2011, yield losses from delayed planting are expected to be limited. Furthermore, the affected states from the current flood are primarily Group 2 states under the current SRA, which are provided with greater reinsurance protection by the government than the Group 1 states.

EXTENSION EDUCATORS' SUPPLY OF RISK MANAGEMENT TRAINING TO FARMERS AgEcon
Vergara, Oscar; Martin, Steven W.; Coble, Keith H.; Knight, Thomas O.; Patrick, George F.; Baquet, Alan E..
A univariate Tobit model of extension educators' provision of risk management educational training was conducted in Mississippi, Texas, Indiana, and Nebraska. A complementary relationship exists between percent of time devoted to agricultural responsibilities and the provision of risk management training courses. The results indicate that, as extension educators perceive farmers to be more knowledgeable of risk management tools, their provision of risk management education decreases. On the other hand, the provision of risk management courses increase as extension educators perceive themselves as being more knowledgeable on the use of risk management tools.

FARM PROGRAM PAYMENTS AND ECONOMIES OF SCALE AgEcon
Miller, James C.; Coble, Keith H.; Vergara, Oscar.
Economies of scale are investigated and the impacts of farm payment limitations for producers of cotton and soybeans in Mississippi are evaluated. Limits proposed by the Senate following the recent farm bill debate are overlaid on estimates of the scale economies for the cost of producing these crops to determine the different impacts on farm efficiency and welfare benefits.

Farm Income Variability and the Supply of Off-Farm Labor by Limited-Resource Farmers AgEcon
Vergara, Oscar; Coble, Keith H.; Patrick, George F.; Knight, Thomas O.; Baquet, Alan E..
We study the relationship between the off-farm labor decision and the limited-resource farmers’ and spouses’ off-farm experience, education, and sources of income. We found that farmers’ and spouses’ off-farm experience and wages are significant factors in explaining the off-farm labor supply decision. Contrary to expectations, farm income variability is not significant in the farmers’ and spouses’ decision to see off-farm work. The off-farm labor supply of farmers and their spouses is negatively correlated with income transfers from the government. It was also found that the spouse is a residual supplier of on-farm and off-farm labor.

THE ECONOMIC FACTORS INFLUENCING PRODUCERS' DEMAND FOR FARM MANAGERS AgEcon
Vergara, Oscar; Coble, Keith H.; Knight, Thomas O.; Patrick, George F.; Baquet, Alan E..
Results from a Tobit model showed a complementary relationship between marketing inputs and the decision to hire farm managers. According to the results, as farmers increase expenditure on marketing consultants and information systems, their expenditure on farm managers increase as well.

Using the AIR Weather Index to Estimate the Contribution of Climate to Corn and Soybean Yields in the U.S. AgEcon
Vergara, Oscar; Zuba, Gerhard; Doggett, Tim.
Using historical production data at the county level and statistical analysis, we investigate climate contributions to corn and soybean yields between 1974-2003. Crop yield trends are decomposed into two components: the technology-derived trend and the trend resulting from climate variability. Implications for agricultural risk management and farm policy are discussed.

Target Markets for Grain and Cotton Marketing Consultants and Market Information Systems AgEcon
Vergara, Oscar; Coble, Keith H.; Hudson, Darren; Knight, Thomas O.; Patrick, George F.; Baquet, Alan E..
This paper examines the use of market consultants and market information systems by grain and cotton producers. A model of producer demand for marketing information and consultants is proposed that decomposes price received into exogenous and endogenous components. The analysis is based on a survey of over 1,600 producers. The results suggest that expenditures on market information systems and market consultants are not independent and, more specifically, expenditures on marketing consultants substitute for expenditures on market information systems.

Impact of the New Standard Reinsurance Agreement (SRA) on Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) Gain and Loss Probabilities AgEcon
Vergara, Oscar; Seaquist, Jack; Zuba, Gerhard; Harrigan, Matthew; Lee, Eric.
We utilize an agricultural model that uses crop/weather relationships at the county resolution and fits robust distributions that take into account the impact that weather has on crop production. Once the crop insurance policy conditions and prices are applied to the modeled county yield distributions, the portfolio gain and losses can be calculated by aggregating the gain and losses at the county level, state level, regional level and nationwide level. Portfolio losses are computed under the old and new SRA rules and regulations for comparison purposes.
