Notes:
6 pages., Authors from the Center for Commercial Agriculture, Purdue University, discuss the adoption of precision agriculture technologies. Findings of cited research among farmers indicated that the average net benefit was almost $90 per acre, and the benefit cost ratio averaged 9.7 to 1. "These results suggest a much higher payoff of precision farming than previous studies. This higher payoff is a result of the whole-farm system benefits of the interactions among individual tools and technologies which result in a new way of farming."
Online via AgEconSearch., Through a case analysis, authors examined factors involved in successful land circulation (i.e., transfer of land use rights whereby farmers transfer land management rights through subcontracting, leasing or other means. Communications aspects such as expanding leadership talents and use of the Internet platform were among the recommendations offered in such efforts to alleviate poverty and improve lives.
23 pages, This study aimed to uncover the values that underlie farmers’ strategic choices for business development. In particular, we uncovered farmers’ values related to business development through farm diversification and compared these with values regarding business development through non-diversified farm activities.
