Hemp Cultivation and Crop Diversification: Implications for Ecosystem Services in Kentucky

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the ecosystem benefits of expanding hemp cultivation by assessing its impact on crop diversity. Using scenario‐based simulations and fixed‐effect panel regressions with county‐level data in Kentucky, we find that increased hemp acreage tends to enhance crop diversity, improving water quality and bird diversity.

Rural Labor Supply and Economic Opportunities: Commuting, Migration, Tariffs, and Immigration

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Some rural counties remain dependent on agricultural or manufacturing jobs, but an increasing proportion have diversified economics. Rural counties also differ in their abilities to commute to an urban market characterized by higher wages and labor productivity.

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.

Evaluating the inactivation of a surrogate ASFV-like algal virus in a pilot solvent extraction soybean processing facility

Frontiers in Animal Science
IntroductionAfrican swine fever virus (ASFV) is extremely stable in the environment, and previous laboratory experiments and simulations have also shown it to be highly stable in animal feed ingredients.

Voluntary Collective Action to Address Growing Agricultural Challenges in Two Countries: Experimental Insights and Commonalities

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We conducted two framed field economic experiments with citrus farmers in Florida, United States and soybean farmers in Argentina to investigate their willingness to coordinate pest and weed management efforts. Despite the contrast between these two agricultural contexts, we find striking behavioral commonalities.

Nitrogen Addition Mitigates Drought by Promoting Soybean (Glycine Max (Linn.) Merr) Flowering and Podding and Affecting Related Enzyme Activities

Agriculture
Drought at the flower and pod stage, which is the most moisture-sensitive stage of soybean development, is the main cause of yield loss in soybean. Nitrogen is a vital nutrient for soybeans. The objective of this study was to assess the potential of post-

Low Participation and Risk Reduction Potential of Supplemental Crop Insurance in the United States

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Federally subsidized crop insurance is a cornerstone of U.S. farm risk management, yet policies with the greatest share of participation only trigger indemnities after losses exceed 15%. Supplemental insurance was introduced to cover part of this deductible, but participation remains largely unchanged.
