The Simple Script Wrapper for OpenMI: Enabling interdisciplinary modeling studies

Bulatewicz, Tom; Allen, A.; Peterson, Jeffrey M.; Staggenborg, Scott A.; Welch, Stephen M.; Steward, David R. (2013-02-04)

Integrated environmental modeling enables the development of comprehensive simulations by compositing individual models within and across disciplines. The Simple Script Wrapper (SSW), developed here, provides a foundation ...
A simulation of factors impeding water quality trading

Smith, Craig M.; Peterson, Jeffrey M.; Leatherman, John C.; Williams, Jeffery R. (2013-03-21)

While there is substantial evidence that nonpoint sources have lower nutrient reduction costs than point sources, experience with water quality trading (WQT) reveals a common theme: little or no trading activity. The success ...
Structural change in forward contracting costs for Kansas wheat

Taylor, Mykel R.; Tonsor, Glynn T.; Dhuyvetter, Kevin (2015-03-18)

Farmers use forward contracts to eliminate adverse price and basis movements prior to harvest. Since late 2007, the local basis for Kansas wheat has changed dramatically relative to historic levels, causing greater risk ...
Subsidy Incidence and Inertia in Farmland Rental Markets: Estimates from a Dynamic Panel

Hendricks, Nathan P.; Janzen, Joseph P.; Dhuyvetter, Kevin C. (2012-12)

Recent econometric studies indicate that the effect of government farm subsidies on farmland rental rates may be smaller than once thought. This literature has corrected for bias due to expectation error in measured subsidy ...
The determinants of household-level well-being in Northern Ghana

Zereyesus, Yacob A.; Shanoyan, Aleksan; Ross, Kara; Amanor-Boadu, Vincent

Empirical analysis of the physical well-being at the household level was conducted for a sample of households in Northern Ghana using a Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes model. Physical well-being was indicated by the ...
The environmental effects of crop price increases: Nitrogen losses in the U.S. Corn Belt

Hendricks, Nathan P.; Sinnathamby, Sumathy; Douglas-Mankin, Kyle; Smith, Aaron; Sumner, Daniel A.; Earnhart, Dietrich H. (2014-11)

High corn prices cause farmers to plant more corn on fields that were planted to corn in the previous year, rather than alternating between corn and soybeans. Cultivating corn after corn requires greater nitrogen fertilizer ...
The impact of extreme weather on cattle feeding profits

Belasco, E. J.; Cheng, Y.; Schroeder, Ted C.
The Production of Food and Fiber: An Adaptation of CoP Features for Sustainable Water Use in Agribusiness

Harris, Keith D.; James, H. S.

Fresh water and arable land are essential for agricultural production and food processing. However, managing conflicting demands over water and land can be challenging for business leaders, environmentalists and other ...
Transaction Costs in Payment of Environmental Service Contracts

Payment for environmental service contracts commonly require actions beyond adoption of a practice, such as undergoing specified enrollment procedures, granting consent to being monitored, and paying penalties for violations. ...
Using numerical methods to address water supply and reliability issues: discussion

Peterson, Jeffrey M.; Schoengold, Karina (2012-10-16)
Weather, disease, and wheat breeding effects on Kansas wheat varietal yields, 1985 to 2011.

Barkley, Andrew P.; Tack, Jesse; Nalley, Lawton Lanier; Bergtold, Jason S.; Bowden, Robert L.; Fritz, Allan K. (2014-12-04)

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yields in Kansas have increased due to wheat breeding and improved agronomic practices, but are subject to climate and disease challenges. The objective of this research is to quantify the ...
