Technology, Organization, and Financial Performance in U.S. Broiler Production
ISBN: 9781502862044 / Angielski / Miękka / 54 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Broilers, young chickens bred for meat, account for nearly all U.S. chicken consumption. U.S. production of broilers grew rapidly until the mid-1990s, but growth then began to slow and production declined in 2009, with very modest growth since then. The industry's distinctive organization-with a high degree of vertical integration, nearly complete reliance on contract growers to raise chickens for poultry companies, and grower compensation based on relative performance-helped fuel growth in the early period, and growth provided good returns and low risks for growers. However, slowing growth...

The proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a trade and investment agreement under nego-tiation by 12 countries in the Pacific Rim, including the United States.

Cutting tariffs is only one of the many goals of the TPP negotiations, but it is an important one for agricultural trade. The value of...

Additionality in U.S. Agricultural Conservation and Regulatory Offset Programs
ISBN: 9781505398397 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Conservation payments lead to improvement in environmental quality only if farmers and ranchers who receive them adopt conservation practices that would not have been adopted without the payment. When a voluntary payment causes a change in practice(s) that lead(s) to improved environmental quality, these changes are "additional." We estimate this "additionality" for a number of common conservation practices that are frequently supported by existing conservation programs. We find that the level of additionality varies by practice and that additionality is high for structural and vegeta-tive...
