North Dakota corn efficiency frontier: Stochastic frontier analysis
Crop, Forage & Turfgrass ManagementAbstractAccording to climate studies in North Dakota, the state's crop‐growing season has been extended. In addition, many studies have shown technological advances in crop production. However, the state has not addressed how crop yield has been affected by weather changes.
