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.

traditional knowledge, Evans, cited reference, This article argues that concern with technical knowledge, which is indigenous to disadvantaged rule groups, must go beyond, an interest in extracting fragments of it to make marginal improvements to existing types of R and D project. The main issue must be beats to which such groups are involved in, and have influence upon, the technical change which affects their lives. Arrange a potential uses for indigenous technical knowledge is therefore far wider than those involved in Rand D, and the central concern must be with augmenting the whole spectrum of indigenous capabilities to create, transform and use technical knowledge. This implies there must be a shift from the dominant approach to the rule of technical change, which really seeks to introduce into roll society techniques conceived and developed outside it. Rather, one must seek the technical development of roll society, which enables it more effectively to pursue and control its own path of technical change.

Via ProQuest Historical Newspapers. 1 page., Cites a reader who emphasizes the value of weather reports and forecasts to farmers. "Since the advent of the rural delivery, all up-to-date farmers get a daily paper, and its value can be made immeasurably greater by a careful study of the weather report."
Purpose: The impact of agricultural knowledge transfer (KT) is related to the access to and the quality of services available. Within this context, the allocation of resources in terms of KT offices and the number of advisers are important considerations for understanding KT impact. This quantitative study evaluates the impact of KT resources on farm profitability for clients in Ireland during the recessionary period 2008–2014.
Design/Methodology: Teagasc, the public KT service provider in Ireland, experienced significant office closures (43%) and a reduction in advisers (38%) during the economic crisis, yet client numbers declined only slightly (4.5%). Administrative data are merged with a panel data set on farm-level performance to evaluate the impact through Random Effects estimation.
Findings: The results show that clients gained a 12.3% benefit to their margin per hectare over the period. However, there was a negative effect of 0.2% for each additional client assigned to the adviser which averaged at 9.6%.
Practical Implications: The quantitative findings provide a measure of impact that represents the value for money for the KT service. The key implication is that the client ratio for advisers should be considered when allocating resources and lower ratios would positively impact client margins.
Theoretical Implications: This article outlines the value of quantitative studies to estimate impact in a clear translatable manner which can aid the policy discussion around resource deployment.
Originality/Value: This study evaluates the impact of KT during a recessionary period when resources were constrained, and uses client ratios to examine the spatial effects.
This study presents an efficient version of test for the hypothesis that education plays a key role in influencing agricultural productivity based on a switching regression model. In the present setting, farmers’ ability to deal with disequilibria is allowed to change with education, which thereby provides a concrete evidence of the effect of education on selected East Asian production agriculture. The results suggest that there exists a threshold for education to be influential to agricultural productivity change when the selected East-Asian economies are categoried by their degree of economic development. Moreover, for the group of economies where education constitutes a major determinant of productivity growth in both the technological progression and/or stagnation/recession regimes, the effect of education is found to vary from economy to economy and from regime to regime. Generally speaking, however, those East-Asian economies tend to reach their turning point in short time despite of the mentioned differences. This result therefore leads to important policy implications concerning giving an impetus to human capital investment in the agriculture sector.

Henry, have shown that when development is both indivisible and irreversible, a developer who ignores the possibility of obtaining new information about the outcome of such development will invariably underestimate the benefits of preservation and hence favor development. In this note, I extend the AFH analysis in two directions. I model the land development problem in a dynamic framework, explicitly specifying an information production function. In such a setting, I then ask and answer the question concerning when development should take place. JEL Classification: D82, Q20 Key words: development, dynamic, information, uncertainty
