This paper presents a dynamic optimization model used to derive nitrogen fertilizer optimal decision rules for irrigated cotton production in the Southern High Plains of Texas. Components of the dynamic optimization model ...

The Production response of a farm in the High Plains of Texas to the elimination of support programs for certain agricultural commodities in the Unites States is estimated using duality theory. Linear programming methods ...

A county-wide dynamic optimization model is used to evaluate the potential contributions associated with the adoption of sophisticated irrigation system technology and anticipated biotechnological advances in crop production ...

This paper uses an ordered logit model to examine the relationship between lint attributes and water and nitrogen inputs in cotton production. The ordered logit model is used because lint attributes are valued by grade and ...

A dynamic optimization model which introduces an intertemporal nitrate-nitrogen residual function is used to derive and evaluate nitrogen fertilizer optimal decision rules for irrigated cotton production in the Southern ...

The retention of soil productivity is a genuine facet of sustainable agriculture and an essential issue for producers and land owners. The objective of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity of the optimal decision ...

This research represents the first attempt to identify the economically feasible transportation distance for feedlot manure utilization in the Texas High Plains (THP). This analysis incorporates the residual benefits from ...

Four policy alternatives for CRP lands upon expiration of the current contracts in Hale county, Texas are evaluated using chance-constrained programming. It was found that if CRP contracts are extended at the current average ...

In this study the farm level economic feasibility of converting a center pivot low-pressure irrigation system to a low-energy precision application (LEPA) irrigation system for cotton production in the Southern High Plains ...
