In addition to the BSI, a parallel project funded by the Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR) implemented a study of the best practices for incorporating beef cattle onto cropping systems while improving ecosystem services to ensure sustainability.
As a component of the FFAR project, an agricultural lenders panel was formed to provide input and feedback to UNL researchers on the …

U.S. Trade And Investment Restrictions: Laudable But Costly Goals, 2023 Yeutter Institute
U.S. Trade And Investment Restrictions: Laudable But Costly Goals, Christine Mcdaniel
Yeutter Institute International Trade Policy Review
U.S. Commerce Secretary Raimondo’s recent visit to China resulted in the announcement of a new “export control enforcement information exchange” between the United States and China. The laudable goal is to prevent China from using U.S. technology for military purposes against the United States or our allies. An information exchange may be a way to explain things to each other, but the fact remains that the export controls are indeed in place. China represents large revenue streams for three of the largest US chip producers—about 20% for Nvidia, 60% for Qualcomm, and 20-30% for Intel. If these U.S. companies cannot …

Tax Accounting Vs. Managerial Accounting: What Is The Difference And Why Does It Matter?, Shannon Sand, Matt Stockton
Center for Agricultural Profitability
Understanding your farm's finances is critical to making sound decisions and positioning your operation for success. But the accounting methods used for tax purposes don't always provide the information needed to properly manage your business.
This article lays out how tax accounting focuses on external reporting and follows rules aimed at calculating taxable income. In contrast, managerial accounting looks inward, capturing the data needed to analyze production costs, cash flows, capital investments, and overall profitability.

Expanding On Basis Risk Estimates For Pasture, Rangeland, And Forage Insurance, 2023 Utah State University
Expanding On Basis Risk Estimates For Pasture, Rangeland, And Forage Insurance, Ryan Feuz, Ryan Bosworth, Ryan Larsen, Royce Larsen, Sean Klein, Matthew W.K. Shapero, Devii R. Rao, Lynnedee Althouse, Karl Striby
Journal of Applied Farm Economics
Basis risk or residual risk arising from disparity between an index’s estimate of losses and actual losses is inherent in index-based insurance products. We approximate basis risk as the false negative probability (FNP) within pasture, rangeland, and forage (PRF) rainfall index insurance for the south-central coastal region of California. We estimate the FNP on average that at least one of two selected coverage intervals will fail to provide an indemnity when a loss is realized at 48%. The average FNP is reduced to only 11% when considering whether both selected intervals fail to provide an indemnity when a loss is …
Do Fas Large Export Sales Reports Move Commodity Futures Markets?, 2023 University of Arkansas-Fayetteville
Do Fas Large Export Sales Reports Move Commodity Futures Markets?, William Johnson
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This study sought to determine if the Large Export Reports from the USDA Foreign Agriculture Service have any discernible market-moving impact on particular commodity futures markets. The effect of the reports on futures markets is investigated using four different methods: the average return event study approach, the multiple regression with binary variables model, the autoregressive time series model, and the event spline model. The average returns showed that the FAS's Large Export Sales Reports had no influence on the pricing of wheat futures, but did have a considerable impact on the returns from days before and after the release of …

Higher Education Exports Before And After Covid, 2023 University of Nebraska - Lincoln
Higher Education Exports Before And After Covid, John C. Beghin, Byungyul Park
Yeutter Institute International Trade Policy Review
Historically, the higher education system in countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Developing (OECD), a grouping of advanced economies, and especially in the United States, has been a magnet for foreign students, both graduate and undergraduates. Graduate students tend to be supported by teaching and research assistantships from the hosting university and do not generate direct revenues for the hosting institution. They do contribute to the economy with their productivity in research projects and with their private consumption. In contrast, most undergraduate foreign students pay fees and tuition which are often higher than those paid by local …

The Purpose Of Education: Dewey And Maritain Re-Visited, 2023 CESA Dean
The Purpose Of Education: Dewey And Maritain Re-Visited, Tony Shannon
International Journal for Business Education
This paper touches on the views of John Dewey and Jacques Maritain on the purpose of the process of formal education, particularly its social dimension in relation to the environment, which for Dewey means “those conditions that promote or hinder, stimulate or inhibit, the characteristic activities of a living being”. Dewey is concerned with communication and the conditions of growth of the child from every point of view. He was very opposed to those who see education as preparation for something else: he focused on what he saw as the existential needs of the student. Some of Dewey’s views are …

Recent controversaries at universities in Queensland have raised questions about mandating the French Review in Australian higher education as the review deals with the related issues of academic freedom and integrity.
