INTERPAKS, Study examines the contribution of education to production both as an "allocative effect" and as a "worker effect". An allocative effect is based on the decision making process and refers to an individual's ability to acquire, decode, and sort market and technical information efficiently. Worker effect reflects education's effect on technical efficiency, or the ability of the more educated worker to produce more from a given set of inputs. The study focuses on a single aspect of allocative ability - adjustment of Midwestern U.S. farmers to the changing optimum quantity of nitrogen fertilizer in corn production. The hypothesis is that rate of adjustment can be explained by economic variables: the rate is positively related to education of farmers, availability of information (extensio), and scale incentive to be informed (acres of corn) is supported by the results. It is also noted that education and extension serve as substitute sources of allocative efficiency.

Notes:
Presented at the annual meeting of the American Agricultural Economics Association, Denver, Colorado, August 1-4, 2004. 24 pages., High increases in media advertising costs have caused a shift away from generic advertising to other promotional activities. A relatively new retail-level promotional activity is the Dairy Case Management Program aimed at improving the management, appearance, and operation of the dairy case. An evaluation of the Northwestern Hudson Valley Market program demonstrated increases in sales volume for both supermarkets/mass merchants and convenience/drug stores. However, the value of volume gains compared with program costs indicates a cost recovery time of over two years. Therefore, program success depends on the implementation of a long-run strategy with continual evaluation.

13 pages., Paper presented at the Southern Agricultural Economics Association annual meeting, Mobile, Alabama, February 4-7, 2017., Researchers analyzed the market of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in the United States and its linkages with the soft drink market. Results showed that soft drinks are the main driver behind the growing demand for HFCS. Also, negative news on HFCS had a negative effect on the growth of demand for soft drinks. However, per capita advertising on soft drinks had a positive effect on the growth of demand for soft drinks and more than offset the effect of negative news.

Found that an advertising campaign increased/improved consumers' awareness of farm-raised catfish (15%) , attitudes toward it (3-6%) and purchases of it (12-13%). Factual content of the ads had less impact on behavior than the mere presence of the ads.
