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.

Effect of High Nighttime Temperatures on Growth, Yield, and Quality of Two Wheat Cultivars During the Whole Growth Period

Plants
It is a consensus that Earth’s climate has been warming. The impact of global warming is asymmetric, that is, there is more substantial warming in the daily minimum surface air temperature and lower warming in the maximum surface air temperature ...

Temporary Programs, Lasting Questions: Ad Hoc Assistance in the U.S. Farm Safety Net

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large ad hoc assistance programs have returned to U.S. farm policy since 2017, operating alongside a more developed safety net built around federally subsidized crop insurance, Title I commodity programs, and standing disaster assistance. This paper reviews the renewed use of ad hoc assistance, documents its recent scale using USDA data, and ...

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.

U.S. Agriculture, Biofuel Markets, and Trade: Challenges and Opportunities

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using an enhanced Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model (GTAP‐BIO), this study assesses how the expansion in demand for Electric Vehicles (EVs) and the reduction in exports of agricultural products induced by trade disputes negatively affect US agriculture.

Enhanced radiation use efficiency and grain filling rate as the main drivers of grain yield genetic gains in the CIMMYT elite spring wheat yield trial

Scientific Reports
Common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major staple food crop, providing a fifth of food calories and proteins to the world’s human population. Despite the impressive growth in global wheat production in recent decades, further increases in grain yield

Integrating Perennial Groundcover in Corn and Soybean Acres: Impacts on U.S. Agriculture

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable agricultural practices such as cover cropping can improve soil health, water quality, and carbon sequestration, yet U.S. adoption remains limited due to economic and operational barriers. We evaluate market and economic impacts of integrating perennial groundcover into U.S.

Ex‐Ante Assessment of Farm Resilience to Institutional Shocks: A Modeling Approach

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using the agent‐based model SWISSland, we simulate farm‐level responses and interactions under two institutional shocks: tariff reductions and direct payment reductions. Using a framework we developed, we assess resilience capacities, resilience attributes, and the provision of private and public goods, following the shock.

Expanded Farm Safety Net Payments Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) strengthens the agricultural risk coverage (ARC) and price loss coverage (PLC) programs by aligning program parameters more closely with recent market dynamics and allows for an expansion in program acres. This study projects the increases in ARC‐County and PLC payments for corn, soybeans, and wheat under

Constructing and Validating New County‐Level Cultural Capital Indices for Applied Policy Analysis: Evidence From SNAP Take‐Up

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cultural capital influences a wide range of social and economic outcomes, yet quantitative measures suitable for policy analysis remain limited. We develop county‐level cultural capital indices for the US based on Bourdieu's framework of objectified, embodied, and institutionalized cultural capital.
