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 ...

Drivers of Precision Agriculture Adoption in Italian Viticulture

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the main drivers influencing the adoption of two types of precision farming technologies in the viticultural sector: Decision Support Systems (DSSs) and Variable Rate Technologies (VRTs). We apply a partial proportional odds model and find that socio‐demographic characteristics are not significant determinants of adoption ...

Effect of amount and timing of subsurface drip irrigation on corn yield

Irrigation Science, 2012
A field study was conducted at North Platte, Nebraska in 2007–2009, imposing eight irrigation treatments, ranging from dryland to fully irrigated. Four of the eight treatments allowed for various degrees of water stress only after tasseling and silking. In 2007, corn yield ranged from 8.9 Mg ha−1 with a season total of 41 mm of irrigation water to 11.5

Farmers' Preferences for Gene Editing Crops and Influencing Factors

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gene editing (GE) is gaining momentum worldwide, but limited data on UK farmers' preferences hinders our understanding of its potential impact amid deregulation debates. Based on a survey of 200 English arable farmers, we employ a Latent Class Analysis and Multinomial Logit regressions to investigate current preferences for GE crops.

Differentiated Impacts of EU Rural Development Measures: A Finite Mixture Evaluation of Italian Olive Farms

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the relationship between participation in the EU Rural Development Program and the economic performance of Italian olive farms using a finite‐mixture model with inverse‐probability‐weighted regression adjustment. Based on 2010–2022 FADN panel data, it estimates heterogeneous treatment effects while correcting for selection ...

Effect of Irrigation Amount on Cotton Growth and Optimization of Irrigation Regime Using AquaCrop in Southern XinJiang

Agronomy
The cotton-growing region in Southern Xinjiang is plagued by perennial drought and water scarcity, and there is a lack of research on the irrigation mechanism for the “one film, three tubes, four rows” new model of dry sowing and wet emergence of cotton.
