The U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Energyjointly analyzed the economic potential for,and impacts of, large-scale bioenergy cropproduction in the United States. Anagricultural sector model (POLYSYS) wasmodified to include three potential bioenergycrops (switchgrass, hybrid poplar, and willow). ...
Much of the most severe flooding is concentrated in Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, northwest Iowa, southeastern South Dakota and Oklahoma where on Tuesday the governor declared all 77 counties were in a state of emergency. Illinois and Iowa are the top two soybean producing states in the United St...
Thus, the incomplete understanding of the physical processes make it hard to derive certain estimates of drought impact on crop yield. Previous studies have discussed the potential impact of drought on crop production in the United States (Lobell et al., 2014; Troy et al., 2015; Zipper et ...
Crop Production Services (CPS) was established in 1983, but predecessor companies began operating as early as 1859. A lot has changed since then. Advancements i
Although our understanding of the individual and combined impacts of air pollution and climate change factors is improving, the adaptation of crop production to concurrent air pollution and climate change remains challenging to resolve. Here we evaluate recent advances in the adaptation of crop ...
In Republic of Macedonia insurance of agricultural production is a little present because of major risks and consequently high premium rates. Some countries in the European Union and the United States the insurance at farmers stimulate with the subsidizing insurance premiums. With insurance in ...
A key strategy for agriculture to adapt to climate change is by switching crops and relocating crop production. We develop an approach to estimate the economic potential of crop reallocation using a Bayesian hierarchical model of yields. We apply the model to six crops in the United States, and...
Farmers in the United States, however, have grown soybeans for only about a century. Tommy Carter says the soybeans they grow are for the most part genetically similar. More differences could better protect crops against climate changes that can reduce production. Those changes include water ...
Concentration of biofuel feedstock crop production in specific regions of the USA is dependent on the relative comparative advantage of production in a specific region based on several agronomic and economic factors. For the southeastern region of the USA, energy cane and sweet sorghum have been iden...
Demand for diversity and culinary quality in the food supply has surged over the past 20 years, driving a progressively larger acreage of specialty crop farming, processing, and distribution [1]. This demand has placed new pressures on the agricultural systems to enable production, including ...
