retail dairy prices fluctuate with the Farm Value of milk
Agricultural and Resource Economics Review, 2011Co-Authors: Hayden Stewart, Donald P BlayneyAbstract:Farm milk prices tend to be volatile. Dairy Farmers, industry pundits, and policymakers further tend to react to price volatility with alarm. One point of concern is the response of retail prices. This study investigates Farm-to-retail price transmission in the 2000s for whole milk and cheddar cheese. Results show that price shocks at the Farm gate are transmitted with delay and asymmetry to retail. Differences in the nature of price transmission for whole milk and cheddar cheese prices are also identified.

retail dairy prices fluctuate with the Farm Value of milk
Amber Waves, 2010Co-Authors: Hayden Stewart, Donald P BlayneyAbstract:Farm milk prices in the United States fluctuated throughout the 2000-2009 decade. Dairy Farmers, industry pundits, and policymakers all reacted with much alarm. One point of concern has been the response of retail prices to Farm price volatility. This study investigates Farm-to-retail price transmission for two major dairy products – whole milk and Cheddar cheese – in the 2000s. Results show that price shocks at the Farm gate were transmitted asymmetrically to retail. However, in order to best identify the nature of the transmission process, it is important to fit alternative model specifications.

a comparison of methods to assess the likely on Farm Value for meat production systems of pasture traits and genetic gain through plant breeding using phalaris phalaris aquatica l as an example
Grass and Forage Science, 2016Co-Authors: C I Ludema, K F SmithAbstract:The emphasis plant breeders place on improving seasonal dry-matter (DM) yield of pasture plants may increase Farm profitability through greater supply of DM for livestock in critical seasons. Economic Values (EV) for traits can be used to guide plant breeders when selecting ‘top’ pasture plants. Two methods of calculating economic Value (EV) for seasonal DM traits were evaluated. These were based on the cost of otherwise acquiring or replacing the unit change in DM (‘replacement cost method’) and the opportunity cost of not having the unit change in DM, based on changes in livestock production either as a change in stocking rate or a change in liveweight gains of growing livestock (‘change in livestock production method’). Using barley replacement cost, the EV of a 1-kg increase in phalaris DM on Australian sheep and beef Farms ranged between AUD0·234 in summer and AUD0·303 in winter. In contrast, the EV for seasonal DM using the change in weaner beef calf liveweight gains ranged between AUD0·256 in summer and AUD0·515 in winter. The change in livestock production method highlighted in this study offers an alternative to the replacement cost method, or more detailed Farm system modelling or experimentations designed to estimate pasture EV.

climate impacts on aggregate Farm Value accounting for adaptation
Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 1996Co-Authors: Robert Mendelsohn, William D Nordhaus, Daigee ShawAbstract:Abstract This paper explains a Ricardian method which compares actual Farmer behavior across different climates. The method incorporates Farmer's adaptation because it captures the outcome of each Farmer matching his behavior to local climate conditions. This paper explores a new application of the Ricardian method capturing how climate effects both the per acre Value of Farms and how much land is Farmed. These empirical relationships are used to predict the agricultural impacts of simple climate warming scenarios.
