Why Didn't I Get a Payout? Understanding Farmer Choices, Index Insurance, and Basis Risk
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 1135-1145, September 2026.ABSTRACT Index insurance, while heralded as a potential solution to alleviate poverty and food insecurity among agricultural households, has its own set of challenges, notably basis risk. Basis risk is the discrepancy between the insurance payout and losses incurred, posing a significant deterrent to the adoption of index insurance.

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 1119-1134, September 2026.ABSTRACT Increased frequency of extreme weather events, particularly droughts, threatens grassland farming by destabilizing yields and farms' economic viability. We examine, theoretically and through numerical simulations, how sown plant diversity (natural insurance) influences the attractiveness of indemnity and drought index insurance (formal ...

Unpacking the Farmland Capitalization Effect of Ethanol Establishment
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 1185-1200, September 2026.ABSTRACT We unpack the impact of expansions in ethanol production—as measured by proximity to newly constructed ethanol plants and capacity expansions—on farmland values using land transaction data from Kansas in combination with modern causal inference techniques.

Pearl millet demonstrates potential as a forage and cover crop in Wisconsin vegetable systems
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.), a crop that is recognized for heat and drought tolerance and ability to suppress root‐lesion nematode (Pratylenchus penetrans), could serve as a suitable forage and cover crop for potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and vegetable production systems in Wisconsin.

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Southern corn leaf blight (SCLB) is caused by the fungal pathogen Bipolaris maydis (syn. Cochliobolus heterostrophus Drechsler) and is a common disease of fall crops of sweet corn. Phenotyping for SCLB resistance is performed through visual scoring, which is subjective and may limit genetic gain for this quantitative trait.

Maximum water stress is decoupled from climate, traits, and growth in a xeric oak
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2392-2406, September 2026.We sampled sites across the geographic distribution of blue oak (Quercus douglasii) in California, USA, which spans a large range of mean annual precipitation. Summary Our ability to explain and predict the spatial patterns of forest mortality remains limited.

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 11, Page 6348-6364, 30 August 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND Water scarcity and soil salinization are major constraints to irrigated agriculture in semi‐arid regions, affecting crop productivity and fruit quality. Combining deficit irrigation with biostimulant application has emerged as a promising strategy to improve water use efficiency and plant stress tolerance.

Geospatial Foundation Embeddings as Transferable Catchment Descriptors
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract Deep learning hydrological models rely on static catchment attributes to characterize basin heterogeneity, but these traditional descriptors suffer from regional inconsistency and limited temporal representativeness. This study evaluates geospatial foundation model embeddings (from AlphaEarth and StefaLand) as transferable catchment ...
