Notes:
Presented at a symposium sponsored by the Economic Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Farm Foundation January 27-28, 2003. 11 pages., Suggests that biotechnology, environmental regulaton and product traceability act like pull-factors, increasing the benefits that would accrue from being better able to track food additive throughout the food system. The technologies associated with precision agriculture and internet communications act as push factors, making it less costly to provide those system tracking capabilities.
17 pages., Analysis revealed that the United Sorghum Checkoff Program (USCP) promotion programs, 1975-76 to 2015-16, resulted in a 4% increase in the sales value of sorghum for food and industrial uses and a 1% increase in total sorghum farm revenue. The farm-level benefit-cost ratio was estimated at between 5.8 and 7.1 in terms of producer profit per dollar spent on promotion.
