GRAIN PRICE STABILITY AND FARMER DECISION MAKING IN CHINA [PDF]
In this paper we find that real grain prices in China have displayed increased volatility in the past decade. This is true for rice, wheat, corn, and for most of provinces.

Farm labor scarcity and its uneven impacts on crop producers in the United States
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This study is the first to evaluate the impacts of farm labor scarcity on producers in the United States across different crop production systems. Between 2002 and 2017, we disentangle the effects of labor scarcity from the impacts of rising commodity demand, technological change, and supply of other inputs on labor market outcomes.

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Preserving ecosystem services, along with economic and environmental benefits, will require future landscape policies to identify and incorporate relevant landscape features. In this paper, we investigate the causal effect of agricultural landscape simplification on drought‐related grassland damages.

The Value of Bt Corn in Southwest Kansas: A Monte Carlo Simulation Approach [PDF]
While most Corn Belt farmers consider planting Bt corn to control European corn borer, southwestern Kansas farmers must also take into account an array of other insect pests, including corn rootworm, spider mites, and southwestern corn borer.

PbAT: A user‐friendly R/Shiny platform for data‐driven decision support in crop improvement
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Modern plant breeding requires robust analysis of complex, multi‐environment datasets to identify superior genotypes. Although R offers powerful statistical packages, their use often requires programming expertise. Existing graphical user interface (GUI)‐based tools are either limited in scope or not openly accessible, leaving breeders
