    Implications of adopting soil health practices on the economic performance of Minnesota row crop operations
    (2021-02) Wilts Johnson, Katherine
    Production agriculture has a large dependency on Earth’s resources, resulting in a strong endorsement of reduced tillage and cover cropping systems on row crop farms from conservationists and soil health specialists. Despite this endorsement, there are low adoption rates of these conservation practices which directly affect agriculture production and profitability. Part one of this study uses an ordinary least squares model to determine the impact of conservation and conventional tillage systems on yield for Minnesota corn, soybean, and spring wheat farms. Part two of this study uses the yield estimates from part one to estimate the impact of cover crop adoption on field-level profitability, considering cover crops as both a single-year and multi-year decision. Results indicate that many cover crop scenarios do not show positive cash flows unless used with cost-share assistance. Results also indicate that the profitable cover crop scenarios incorporate the lowest cost options of cover crop seed, planting, and termination methods.

    Producer Attitudes and Farm Management Education
    (2011) Holcomb, Charles R (Rob); Hyman, Randy; Ryan, Cindy
    The results of this study indicated that education level does not influence net farm income per operator. However, the education level of the farm operator spouse did have an impact on net farm income per operator. Regarding the level of importance the farm operator places on participation in agricultural risk management programs and the level of importance the farm operator places on the financial management of the operation with respect to net farm income were both inconclusive. While several survey components tied to those research questions did have a positive impact on net farm income, the results for both of these research questions was inconclusive. The most revealing part of the study showed that farm managers valued the educational components of this study that were tied directly to the farm management instructor much more than those educational components that were not tied directly to the farm management instructor.
