The Financial Impact Of Animal Related Phosphorus Management On Vermont Dairy Farms, Alyssa Dodd, Catherine Halbrendt, Charles F. Nicholson

Agribusiness

Excessive phosphorus loading has been identified as the primary cause of decreasing water quality in Lake Champlain. Dairy farms are the major source of phosphorus pollution to the lake and are targeted to reduce phosphorus run-off. The goal of this research is to determine the farm-level financial impact of phosphorus management on different sizes of Vermont dairy farms. Farm financial performance following implementation of manure management is simulated by farm size (60 cows, 150 cows, and 350 cows) over a ten-year time horizon using the Farm Level Income and Policy Simulation Modeling System (FLIPSim). Results indicate that implementation of Milking …

Pain In Farm Animals, L. U. Sneddon, Michael J. Gentle

Farm Animal Welfare Collection

This review will address how we can measure pain in farm animals and discuss the major causes of acute pain and also chronically painful conditions, and finally make suggestions for future improvements. Pain is a relatively difficult concept to define since it comprises both a physiological sensory and a psychological or emotional component. Pain is the subjective interpretation of nerve impulses induced by a stimulus that is actually or potentially damaging to tissues. The sensation of pain is a response to a noxious stimulus and should elicit protective motor (e.g. withdrawal reflex, escape) and vegetative responses (e.g. cardiovascular responses, inflammation). …

A Case Study Comparing The Price Of Fresh Produce Sold At Farmers’ Markets And Chain Supermarkets, James J. Ahern, Marianne Mcgarry Wolf

Agribusiness

This exploratory research found that produce purchased at San Luis Obispo County, California farmers’ markets to be an apparent better value than supermarket produce. Prices for most commodities were either the same or lower and the product quality was better at times than the same product offered at the paired supermarket. Fourteen commodities were examined at six farmers’ markets locations, over half of those in the county, conducted across all four seasons in 1999.

Estimating The Off-Farm Labor Supply In Canada, Wayne Howard, Michael Swidinsky

Agribusiness

Off-farm labor supply in Canada is modeled using separate off-farm labor participation and off-farm labor supply equations, which allows variables to affect participation and labor supply differently. The data used in this study are from Statistics Canada’s Agriculture-Population Linkage Database, which links the Population Census for 1986 to a 20% sample from the Census of Agriculture. Results indicate that age, education and wages have large, significant and opposite effects on participation and supply, and that government efforts to stabilize and supplement farm incomes through rural employment programs may have less effect on labor allocation decisions than do the underlying demographic …

Western Australian Agriculture - Key Achievements 1999 - 2000, Agriculture Western Australia

Farm Systems and Economics published reports

Agricultural continue to underpinning employment opportunities and the financial viability of the agricultural sector. While the traditional industries such as cereals, wool exports grow and meat remain the most valuable, the growth in oilseeds, pulses, viticulture and horticulture is significant. The resurgence in the live animal trade has been an important milestone for Western Australia and it is essential that we continue to build on this.

To maintain competitiveness, WA farmers need to be at the cutting edge of new technology, responsive to changing customer needs and actively developing new trade opportunities.
