Understanding Potential Profitability Estimates for Western Kentucky Grain Production
No full textThe objective of this project is to develop a model to predict profitability within the Western Kentucky grain markets, with a particular focus on corn and soybeans. The research was conducted utilizing historical data on production budgets, yields, and market prices spanning from 2007 to 2021. Through the course of this study, a series of simulations were conducted, which generated a broad range of potential profit outcomes. These profit ranges were subsequently converted into Probability Distribution Functions, offering a spectrum of probabilities ranging from 0% to 100%. The resulting outcomes , along with the supplementary simulation data, have the potential to serve as valuable tools for grain producers, helping them navigate external factors that may influence profitability during any given growing season
Comparing the hydrology of newly established and remnant wetlands over time
No full textThe Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) was developed by the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) of the USDA to reverse the conversion of wetlands to cropland that has occurred in the past two centuries. The importance of wetlands is something that is more understood in recent years, inspiring the efforts to restore and protect wetlands that were previously destroyed. Landowners can participate in the WRP to allow those wetlands to be restored and provide the ecosystem services that they once offered. These pieces of land can then be studied to investigate the functioning of these restored wetlands. Monitoring two WRP sites along the Obion Creek and two along the Bayou de Chien in Western Kentucky, we studied how hydrology differs in remnant bottomland forests compared to newly established forests. Remnant areas are those that contain secondary forests while newly established areas contain younger tree plantings (within the last 10 years). Hydrology is an important aspect of wetlands and can alter the biotic communities present and how the wetland functions. We examined water level data from four different WRP sites and calculated hydrologic metrics including median water level, mean monthly water level, stage duration, return time, hydrologic flashiness, and stage excursion frequency. We found that there was a statistically significant difference in the hydrology between the remnant and newly established forests at all four sites. There was also a significant difference in the hydrology at each site based on the time of year the sample was taken. This indicates that hydrology differs between remnant and newly established forests, creating a variable environment within restored wetlands. It also shows that hydrology changes seasonally in the restored wetlands
The Price of Applause: Analyzing the Impact of Tony Awards on Broadway Show Revenue
No full textThis project evaluates the potential difference in weekly gross revenue between shows that won a Tony Award – the theatre industry’s most prestigious honor – and shows that were nominated for a Tony Award but did not win. This research has the potential to offer analysis of if winning a Tony Award tends to indicate more revenue and also some insight into the elasticity of the Broadway show market
