Development Of New Generation Cooperatives, Mike Turner
Cornhusker Economics
Dr. Mike Cook, Professor of Agricultural Economics at the University of Missouri and his students have interviewed over 50 newly created agricultural cooperatives. The purpose of this study was to determine the steps taken to establish a new business. In each case the newly formed business was to establish a value-added opportunity for agricultural producers. The steps taken included the following:
Factors Affecting The Coordination Of Agricultural Production And Marketing, Jeffrey S. Royer
Factors Affecting The Coordination Of Agricultural Production And Marketing, Jeffrey S. Royer
Cornhusker Economics
Agricultural markets depend considerably less on open market transactions than 40 years ago. Increasingly, the production and marketing of agricultural products have been coordinated by forward contracting, production and marketing contracts, and vertical integration. The degree to which these alternative marketing mechanisms have been employed varies across commodities and products. Production contracts, marketing contracts, and vertical integration dominate in several livestock markets, including broilers, turkeys, eggs and milk, and in most specialty crop markets, including fruits, vegetables and sugar beets. Market transactions have continued to be more important for field crops and the cattle and hog markets although contract production …

Optimal Hedge Ratios For Corn Marketing In Eastern South Dakota, Karen Brovold, Bashir Qasmi
Economics Research Reports
In the past, few South Dakota agricultural producers have made use of the futures market to manage their risk exposure. According to a survey, conducted in 1970, only eleven percent of South Dakota producers used futures contracts and five percent used options to market their grain (Shane). The need for producers to become more market-oriented has increased with the passage of the 1996 Freedom to Farm Act. The Freedom to Farm Act gives producers increased flexibility to adjust production based on market incentives. Prices are expected to become more volatile due to changing market conditions over the next few years. …

Research Reports and Research Bulletins
There has been growing interest among nations in the western hemisphere in preferential trading arrangements (Taylor et al., 1995; Schuh and Junguita, 1993). Since 1990, 33 regional agreements have been registered with the World Trade Organization — the supranational organization that sets the rules for international trade (Blandford, 1995). One of the most important of these trading arrangements is the Mercado Comun del Sur (Common Market of the South), commonly referred to by its acronym, the MERCOSUR. (See Table 1 for a definition of acronyms and technical terms.) The MERCOSUR is a customs union whose member nations are Argentina, Brazil, …

Grain Marketing Patterns In South Dakota: Methods Of Purchase, Methods Of Sale, Grain Destinations, And Modes Of Transportation, Bashir Qasmi, Kelly Mcdaniel
Economics Research Reports
The U.S. Agriculture is going through a transition. Federal spending on farm programs are being curtailed and agricultural policies are being modified to make production of farm commodities responsive to the market forces. In this competitive environment, efforts on the part of the commodity groups for market development are becoming increasingly more important. However, in order to devise any market development plan for a commodity, the understanding of the present status of the marketing system is important. At the minimum, one needs to know the methods of purchase and sale, types of buyers, shipment destinations, and transportation modes for the …

Production And Financial Standards For The Pork Industry, Allen Prosch, Larry Bitney
Production And Financial Standards For The Pork Industry, Allen Prosch, Larry Bitney
Cornhusker Economics
The 1996 summary for the Nebraska Swine Enterprise and Analysis Program shows that there is a lot of difference between average, the high 1/3 and the low 1/3 of producers when it comes to a profit. Producers in the average group showed a 27% rate of return on capital, while those in the top 1/3 showed a return of 49%. Total cost per cwt. for an average producer on the records program was $50.71 while the producers in the high profit 1/3 produced that pork for $44.96 per cwt.

Coping With Potholes In Your Farm Transition Pathway, Part Ii*, Paul H. Gessaman
Cornhusker Economics
Transferring a family-operated farm or ranch between generations presents many challenges. Typically, the transfer requires inter-generational transitions in management, ownership, and control of the operating unit. These transitions can occur a little at a time over a period of years. Or, they can happen very quickly when a divorce, a death, a disability, a dispute, or a departure quickly remove a person from production unit activities. Whether the transition is slow or quick, the life situations of two or more generations of individuals and families are changed.
Multi-Year Hedging Of Corn, 1973-1995, Dennis M. Conley
Multi-Year Hedging Of Corn, 1973-1995, Dennis M. Conley
Cornhusker Economics
Multi-year hedging involves placing a hedge for more than one year and then unwinding it as physical product is sold. A recent study analyzed two-year hedges for corn in an attempt to capture the higher prices that occurred over the 23-year period of 1973- 1995. Cash prices were for No. 2 yellow corn at Omaha on October 15, or the nearest business day. Futures prices were from the December contract month at the Chicago Board of Trade.

Sooner or later transitions emerge in personal and business life. Some are based on opportunities: land or other resources become available at an affordable cost, family members acquire and use new skills, new markets open, new technology is released, someone joins the family through marriage or adoption, or another form of good fortune occurs.

Future Horizons: Recent Literature In Sustainable Agriculture, Gabriel Hegyes, Charles A. Francis
CARI Extension and Education Materials for Sustainable Agriculture
Here is one building block in the foundation for a future agriculture. Increasing trainer literacy in sustainable agriculture can be defined on several levels. At its most literal, it is an anthology of reviews familiarizing the reader with some of the authors, topics, and titles that have composed the sustainable agriculture literature over the last decade or more. It also serves as an annotated bibliography where the dry abstracts of many such works are replaced with insightful essays. Most importantly, this primer is a language text, exposing the user to the semantics, symbols, and syntax of sustainable agriculture. This collection …
