open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We unpack the impact of expansions in ethanol production—as measured by proximity to newly constructed ethanol plants and capacity expansions—on farmland values using land transaction data from Kansas in combination with modern causal inference techniques.

Zero tillage: A potential technology to improve cotton yield

open access: yesGenetika, 2016
Zero tillage technology revealed with no use of any soil inverting technique to grow crops. The crop plant seed is planted in the soil directly after irrigation to make the soil soft without any replenishing in soil layers. A study was conducted to evaluate cotton genotypes FH-114 and FH-142 for the consecutive three years of growing ...

Remarks on soil structure in relation to zero-tillage.

open access: yesNetherlands Journal of Agricultural Science, 1970
Effects of tillage on density and structural homogeneity, requirements for good root penetration and growth in soil, and types of soil structure most suitable for plant growth are discussed. It is suggested that tillage normally creates a sufficiently heterogeneous soil structure, while soil structure after zero-tillage gradually becomes more ...

Determinants of local food producer participation in state‐sponsored marketing programs: Evidence from Missouri

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines producer participation choices considering a variety of potential benefits linked to state‐sponsored marketing programs, using a real choice dataset of farmers in Missouri. Multinomial logit models are employed to predict determinants of farmer enrollment in three tiers of the Missouri Grown local food marketing program ...
