Irrigation Management, Environment, And Profits: Who Wins?, Emily O'Donnell

Department of Agricultural Economics: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

The impact of irrigation technology on farmers’ management strategies and resulting environmental benefits depends upon agronomic properties and market forces. We evaluate the role of deficit irrigation using soil moisture probe technology on corn yield and evapotranspiration, which is a measure of water use efficiency. Evapotranspiration represents the water that transits through the plant during planting to harvest (transpiration) and the evaporation from the soil into the environment, or the displaced water in the production process. We develop yield and evapotranspiration response functions to inform a constrained profit maximization model used to identify the optimal irrigation level across a variety …

2012 Kentucky Equine Survey, College Of Agriculture, Food And Environment, University Of Kentucky, Kentucky Agricultural Development Fund, Kentucky Horse Council, Ag Equine Programs, University Of Kentucky

Kentucky Equine Survey

The last thorough equine inventory in Kentucky was undertaken in 1977, leaving the state’s equine industry with 35 years of changes, growth and con­traction that were neither measured nor analyzed.

In response to these needs, in 2011, the University of Kentucky and the Kentucky Horse Council, with support by industry organizations spearheaded by the Kentucky Quarter Horse Association, the Kentucky Thoroughbred Farm Managers’ Club and Kentucky Thoroughbred Association/Kentucky Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders, and initial support from the University of Louisville, succeeded in securing fund­ing for a large-scale, comprehensive equine survey upon which future industry plans could be built.

The 2005/06 South Dakota Grain Marketing Patterns Study: A Grain Elevator Survey Report, Bashir Qasmi, Yonas Hamda, Scott Fausti

Economics Research Reports

U.S. agriculture is going through a transition and agricultural policies are being modified to make production of farm commodities more responsive to market forces.
