Single-pass baling productivity and grain logistics analysis
, 2012 Corn stover harvest in Iowa was studied using a single-pass combine and baler configuration over the last three years. The combine experienced a productivity loss from pulling a baler through the field of 6-10% depending on field conditions and speed ...

Climate Change, Risk and Grain Production in China
This paper employs the production function-based method proposed by Just and Pope (1978, 1979) to explicitly analyze production risk in the context of Chinese grain farming and climate change, and test for a potential endogeneity of climate factors in ...

Does Urban Proximity Enhance Agricultural Productivity in China? [PDF]
We study whether rural areas close to urban centers enjoy a more productive agricultural sector than remote ones. We try to answer three questions: (1) Do rural areas close to urban centers and remote areas share the same agricultural technology? (2) Are

Estimating crop-specific production technologies in Chinese agriculture: a generalized maximum entropy approach [PDF]
A Generalized Maximum Entropy (GME) approach is adapted to empirically estimate crop-specific production technologies in Chinese agriculture. Despite a modest behavior assumption about equal marginal returns of non-land inputs among crops, this method ...
