Optimal Grazing Termination Date for Dual-Purpose Winter Wheat Production

Taylor, Karen W.; Epplin, Francis M.; Brorsen, B. Wade; … - In: Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics 42 (2010) 01

Dual-purpose winter wheat (fall-winter forage plus grain) production is an important economic enterprise in the southern Great Plains. Grazing termination to enable grain production is a critical decision. The objective is to determine the optimal grazing termination date for dual-purpose wheat....

Impact of Environmental Values on the Breakeven Price of Switchgrass

Debnath, Deepayan; Stoecker, Arthur L.; Epplin, Francis M. - Southern Agricultural Economics Association - SAEA - 2013

This study estimates the farm-gate breakeven price of switchgrass relative to wheat in Oklahoma. The breakeven price of switchgrass is determined for two situations: when external consequences are ignored and when the environment costs of changes in soil erosion, fertilizer (nitrogen and...

Energy Sugar Beets to Biofuel: Field to Fuel Production System and Cost Estimates

Haankuku, Choolwe; Epplin, Francis M.; Kakani, Gopal V. - Southern Agricultural Economics Association - SAEA - 2015

Energy beets (Beta vulgaris L.) meet the requirements for advanced biofuel feedstocks under the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. A mixed-integer programming model was constructed to determine the breakeven price of ethanol from energy beets, and to determine the optimal size and...

Fungicides for Winter Wheat

Thompson, Nathanael M.; Epplin, Francis M.; Edwards, … - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2013

Topic Relevance Foliar diseases often reduce grain yields of winter wheat in the southern Great Plains, with some individual year yield losses in excess of 10%. At current prices, the gross value of these losses for the region could exceed a quarter of a billion dollars annually. Historically,...

Switchgrass to Ethanol: A Field to Fuel Approach

Haque, Mohua; Epplin, Francis M. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2010

The U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 mandates the production of 16 billion gallons of cellulosic biofuels by 2022. Desirable feedstock properties, biomass to biofuel conversion rate, and investment required in plant and equipment differs depending on which of several competing...

OPTIMAL STOCKING DENSITY AND FOOD SAFETY RISKS IN STEER PRODUCTION ENTERPRISE

Nganje, William E.; Kaitibie, Simeon; Brorsen, B. Wade; … - Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics, Texas … - 2003

Reasonably high stocking densities generally lead to high profit for steer grazing enterprises. However, higher stocking densities result in high microbial counts, creating food safety concerns, especially with the advent of BSE in recent years. This study explores the impact of production and...

Impacts of land fragmentation on the cost of producing wheat in the rain-fed region of northern Jordan

Jabarin, Amer S.; Epplin, Francis M. - In: Agricultural Economics of Agricultural Economists 11 (1994) 2-3

In some cultures inheritance customs results in land fragmentation such that over time operating farms become composed of a collection of spatially dispersed fields rather than a contiguous land unit. This study was conducted to determine the impact of land fragmentation as measured by average...
