Modeling No-till Adoption by Corn and Soybean Producers: Insights into Sustained Adoption
No-till acreage has increased in recent years, but many farmers alternate no-till with other tillage practices, limiting public and private benefits from sustained no-till adoption. Revealed preference data are used in an ordered logit regression analysis to determine the effect of soil characteristics, climate, regions, farm characteristics, and producer demographics on producers’ choices to u...
متن کاملEx post evidence on adoption of transgenic crops: US soybeans
Transgenic crops offer a complex new technology that is not universally dominant over alternatives. Instead, adoption decisions are conditional on incentives associated with alternative technologies and local conditions. These characteristics imply that transgenic crops can be expected to be adopted on a wide scale in existing cultural areas, if incentives are appropriate. Further, considerable...
متن کاملIntensity of Precision Agriculture Technology Adoption by Cotton Producers
Many studies on the adoption of precision technologies have generally used logit models to explain the adoption behavior of individuals. This study investigates factors affecting the intensity of precision agriculture technologies adopted by cotton farmers. Particular attention is given to the role of spatial yield variability on the number of precision farming technologies adopted, using a cou...
متن کاملExplaining the Adoption and Disadoption of Sustainable Agriculture: The Case of Cover Crops in Northern Honduras
Although technology adoption has been the subject of a great deal of economic research, that focused on the economics of adoption of low-input "sustainable" systems has been much more limited and recent. This paper attempts to explain the recent decline in the use of cover crops using in maize farming in the Department of Athlntida, Honduras. In the early 1970s, farmers in the region began rota...
متن کاملThe Potential Role of Insect Suppression in Increasing the Adoption of Cover Crops
We used a survey of attendees of an organic farming conference in Minnesota, U.S.A., to determine whether farmers would be more likely to adopt a fall-seeded winter rye cover crop preceding soybeans if doing so could aid in the suppression of soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura (Homoptera: Aphididae). Of the 24 soybean growers that responded to our survey, 22 indicated that they would be mo...
