Integrated Approach to Financial Management in Agriculture
No full textThe purpose of this study was to develop a financial management system for agricultural lenders and farm managers. Its goals were to make lenders and farmers aware of the need for adequate financial records, financial statements, and analyses in order to retain control of the farm financial structure. Several case farms were analyzed using the Integrated Farm Financial Statements program which was developed on the microcomputer.Agricultural Economic

Full text linkIMPACT OF PRODUCTION CHANGES ON INCOME AND ENVIRONMENTAL RISK IN THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS
Full text linkRegional and farm-level analyses are conducted to evaluate the economic and environmental impacts of water quality protection policies. The regional analysis evaluates reducing nitrate losses by reducing per-acre nitrogen use, taxing nitrogen use, taxing irrigation water use, and reducing furrow irrigation. Incentives to convert furrow systems to sprinkler and LEPA systems outperform the other policies. The firm-level analysis derives farm plans that limit the expected values of environmental indices for nitrates and pesticides, and reduce the probability that specified targets will be exceeded. The analysis demonstrates the importance of evaluating environmental risk as stochastic process
IRRIGATED AGRICULTURE ON THE HIGH PLAINS: AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE
Full text linkRecent declines in irrigated acres in the High Plains and shifts to crops which use less water are likely to continue, with an eventual return to dryland production in many regions. Declining groundwater levels and depletion of the Ogallala aquifer are secondary causes of this decline. Primary causes are high irrigation costs and low profitability of irrigated crops relative to dryland crops produced within and outside the region. Continued low commodity prices will speed the transition to dryland production as many current irrigators are unable to replace fully depreciated irrigation systems. Adoption of new technology will slow but not reverse the reduction in irrigated production
