An investigation into the mechanics of agricultural discs [PDF]
, 1989 A prediction model based upon Mohr-Coulomb soil mechanics theory has been developed to predict the interaction between the soil and agricultural discs of different geometries and operating angles to both vertical and tilted discs.

Ban Glyphosate—Does It Affect the Swedish Farmers' Willingness to Grow Cover Crops?
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The cultivation of cover crops is one of the new Eco‐scheme practices introduced in Sweden. This study examines how the design of policy attributes of these schemes influences farmers' willingness to grow cover crops on arable land, with particular focus on the potential impact of a glyphosate ban.

Soil erosion as an indicator of agricultural sustainability in tropical watersheds
, 2010 A systems approach was utilised for operationalisation of the concept of agricultural sustainability. The process was prerequisite to deriving case- and site- specific sustainability indicators for agriculture-based tropical watersheds.

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.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, EarlyView.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.

On the Economics of US Agricultural Policy
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents an economic analysis of US agricultural policy, building on a modified version of Gardner's efficient redistribution. We argue that agricultural policy is motivated as an attempt to implement an efficient redistribution scheme that redistributes income toward farmers who, as a group, have been adversely affected by ...
