Economic Analysis Prepared For The Environmental Impact Statement On Black-Tailed Prairie Dog Conservation And Management On The Nebraska National Forest And Associated Units, Martin Beutler

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

This limited analysis resulted from a request by the Nebraska National Forest to provide some economic estimates to the value of changes in forage availability that would result from three proposed levels of rodenticide use in the management of black-tailed prairie dogs (BTPD) on the Nebraska National Forest (NNF) and associated units managed by NNF (i.e. Buffalo Gap National Grasslands, Ft. Pierre National Grasslands in South Dakota, and the Oglala National Grasslands in Nebraska.) The values of changes in forage availability were determined based on three alternatives of rodenticide use. These alternatives include: (1) limit use of rodenticides to only …

Farmland values, cash rental rates, and federal farm program payments steadily increased in the Northern Plains from 1991 - 2001. Econometric models are used to examine the impacts of Federal farm payments on cropland values and rental rates, statewide and regional, in South Dakota during this time period.

Comparison Of 'Organic' And 'Conventional' Grains And Soybean Prices In The Northern Great Plains And Upper Midwest: 1995 Through 2003, Nicholas Streff, Thomas L. Dobbs Jun 2004

Comparison Of 'Organic' And 'Conventional' Grains And Soybean Prices In The Northern Great Plains And Upper Midwest: 1995 Through 2003, Nicholas Streff, Thomas L. Dobbs

Economics Pamphlet Series (1985-2016)

Price premiums for organic crops drew the attention of an increasing number of farmers throughout the 1990s. Premiums contributed to the expansion of U.S. farmland managed under organic farming systems during that time period. Expansion of organic farming systems continued at least through 2001. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Economic Research Service's most recent data on organic farming systems, U.S. farmers and ranchers added almost one million acres of certified organic farmland between 1997 and 2001, an increase of 74 percent. Over that same time frame, certified organic cropland increased by 53 percent). The USDA implemented national …

The Role Of Industry Attributes In Determining The Pattern Of U.S.-Canada Intra-Industry Trade In 1997, Bashir Qasmi, Scott Fausti Mar 2004

The Role Of Industry Attributes In Determining The Pattern Of U.S.-Canada Intra-Industry Trade In 1997, Bashir Qasmi, Scott Fausti

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

Trade flow patterns associated with U.S. - Canada bilateral trade by industry groups are investigated (Food and live animal products, manufacturing products, chemical products, and machinery and transportation products). The analysis uses the OECD data for 1997 U.S.-Canada bilateral trade flows combined with the U.S. industry characteristics data from the U.S. Economic Census. Levels of intra-industry trade, measured by the Grubel Lloyd Index, were regressed on a number of industry characteristics using OLS techniques. Empirical results indicate that selected measures of product differentiation, market power, and market structure are important influences upon U.S.-Canada bilateral trade in the selected industries. Finally, …

Discontinued Voluntary Price Reports For Live Cattle: Will They Be Missed By Producers?, Scott Fausti, He Sun, Matthew Diersen Jan 2004

Discontinued Voluntary Price Reports For Live Cattle: Will They Be Missed By Producers?, Scott Fausti, He Sun, Matthew Diersen

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

One consequence of federal mandatory livestock price reporting regulations for the cattle industry was the discontinuation of eight regional voluntary price reports for slaughter cattle. The economic implication for market transparency in those affected regional markets is investigated. Agricultural Marketing News Services data were collected from discontinued price reports for a five-year period, along with aggregated regional price reports that were not eliminated under the new price reporting regime. Both sets of price reports were analyzed to determine if any of the price series, which continued to be published as mandatory reports, could be used by producers as a replacement …

Examining Economic Impact And Recovery In South Dakota From The 2002 Drought, Matthew Diersen, Gary Taylor Dec 2003

Examining Economic Impact And Recovery In South Dakota From The 2002 Drought, Matthew Diersen, Gary Taylor

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

During the 2002 drought, farm sector economic factors were monitored to assess the likely statewide economic impacts. Timely moisture during the spring of 2003 resulted in a sizeable wheat harvest relative to recent years. Prices in the fall of 2003 have also been significantly higher for cattle and soybeans compared to prices in recent years. As a result, there have been inquiries as to the extent of economic recovery in the farm sector of South Dakota. The purpose of this paper is to outline the estimation procedure used to assess the drought in 2002, validate the extent of the impact, …

French Quality And Eco-Labeling Schemes: Do They Also Benefit The Environment?, Thomas Dobbs, Genevieve Nquyen, Sherry Bertramsen, Bruno Legagneux

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

In this paper, results are reported for analyses we recently conducted to examine the environmental effects of major 'quality' and 'eco-labeling' schemes in use in the Midi-Pyrenees region of the south of France. Schemes analyzed are described in the next section. Following that, the data and methods of analysis are explained. Next, results of statistical analyses are presented. These results are complemented by qualitative results drawn from in-depth case studies of three food quality schemes. Conclusions and policy implications are presented in the last section of the paper.

Risk And The Economic Incentive To Retain Ownership Of Steer Calves, Scott Fausti, Brad Johnson, William Epperson, Nancy Grathwohl Jun 2003

Risk And The Economic Incentive To Retain Ownership Of Steer Calves, Scott Fausti, Brad Johnson, William Epperson, Nancy Grathwohl

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

Retained ownership of steer calves is an investment decision for cow/calf producers. Data collected over a three-year period on 845 steer calves reveals that retaining ownership of steer calves is, on average, profitable. Systematic and unsystematic risks associated with retaining ownership of steer calves are identified. Empirical results indicate that unsystematic risk account for 67% of the variability in the rate of return to retained ownership. Empirical evidence also suggests that retaining ownership is a riskier investment decision than assumed in the earlier literature. This suggests that the lack of enthusiasm for retaining ownership by cow/calf producers is the result …

Did The Voluntary Price Reporting System Fail To Provide Price Transparency In The Cash Market For Dressed Steers: Evidence From South Dakota, Scott Fausti, Matthew Diersen Jun 2003

Did The Voluntary Price Reporting System Fail To Provide Price Transparency In The Cash Market For Dressed Steers: Evidence From South Dakota, Scott Fausti, Matthew Diersen

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

The information value of the former USDA voluntary price reporting system is investigated for dressed weight slaughter steers. The ability of the former system to promote market transparency and price discovery in the cash market is evaluated with state level mandatory price reporting data collected from September 1999 to April 2001. The empirical framework evaluates the informational value of public price reports according to the criteria established in the market integration literature. The empirical results indicate that in the cash market for dressed weight steers, in South Dakota and Nebraska the former voluntary price reporting system did foster market transparency …
