AbstractResources utilized to alleviate the nation's shift from agriculture to industry are no longer useful because rural and international economic environments have changed dramatically. In rural America, there is no longer a “farm problem”but rural communities with specific problems. In an era of technological change, it is time to create an innovative social and economic contract to implement new food and farm policies with well funded local and state development and credit programs augmented by federal appropriations leading to free market pricing of agricultural produ

摘要:

AbstractThe Common Agricultural Policy of the European Community requires further reform to harmonize the disparate measures taken to date. Political pressures will lead to continued adjustment rather than a major overhaul of policy. Future changes will lead to slower growth in livestock production, but cereal output should continue to advance in line with previous trends. Grain merchandising opportunities will expand and, along with these, further trade conflict with the US. Expected policies of production controls and import restrictions will hit first‐stage food processors and feed manufacturers the hardest, while the long‐term outlook for European input suppliers is mi

摘要:

AbstractThis study identifies and measures effects of household socioeconomic characteristics on consumption for broiler meat based on the 1977–1978 USDA NFCS data. Using the results of the statistical model with census projections of population, a microanalytic simulation procedure was developed for estimating broiler meat consumption among spatially delineated geographic areas. The procedure was designed to capture the specific distributional effects of population characteristics on market consumption estimates. The results provide disaggregated consumption estimates on broiler meat by product forms and by market areas which are valuable to the broiler industry in decision making for seeking potential markets by locatio

摘要:

AbstractTalent assessment is a critical element in agribusiness success. Unless the correct people are identified and rewarded with promotion and other organizational rewards, organizational motivation and leadership will wane. A new efficient and effective talent assessment method called Team Evaluation has been developed by leading agribusiness firms and provides advantages not available with traditional procedures. The Team Evaluation process enhances the firm's information about people. When added to the existing supervisory assessment procedures. Management Systems (MS), the combination of the TE + MS upgrades the quality of human resource decisions, improves rewards equity and the link between pay and performance.

摘要:

AbstractA method for interpreting foreign agricultural policies is outlined which provides an objective assessment of the price discovery process operating in international markets. The technique uses causality tests to determine the operational market characteristics. Then, a supply response model is used to identify variables significantly influencing market behavior.

摘要:

AbstractCross‐sectional data from a 1981 survey of Saskatchewan farmers are used to investigate the determinants of size of long‐term loans from the Canadian Farm Credit Corporation. Heckman's procedure is used to correct for sample selectivity bias, which was shown to be present. The results are tentative due to the cross‐sectional properties of the data. They seem to show that the Farm Credit Corporation is fulfilling its stated aims in lending to new, young, small operators but emphasizing ability to repay the

摘要:

AbstractA random sample of Ohio farm operators was surveyed about the revenue they earned from selling seed to farmers. Approximately 15% of the survey respondents reported selling seed to farmers. For most respondents who sold seed the seed dealership was not an important source of income. However, some sold substantial amounts. Those who sold more than $5000 of seed were more likely to be full‐time farmers than other survey respondents. Lastly, selling seed was associated with a greater discount on seed purchased for the farming operatio

摘要:

AbstractGrowth of sales and assets of large cooperative and proprietary firms in five food industries from 1975 to 1980 were analyzed. Models of firm growth were estimated using data from 32 cooperatives and 35 proprietary corporations. The seven factors included in the model affect the growth of cooperatives and proprietary firms similarly but fail to account for the more rapid growth achieved by cooperatives during the period studied.

摘要:

AbstractThe Japanese–US beef trade issues are discussed and a proposal put forth to feed cattle for 240 days in order to achieve higher quality grades and prices for US beef exported to Japan. Contrary to popular opinion. US grain‐fed beef is not considered higher in quality than chilled grass‐fed beef from Australia in the Japanese market because the Japanese quality grading system places much greater emphasis on marbling. Results indicate the longer fed beef concept may be a better alternative for the US than continuing to seek full liberalization of exports, although further analysis is needed before this can be stated with cert
