Marketing Agricultural Commodities Marketing and Price Risk Management in Agricultural Commodities

This book is written for the current and aspiring American farmer. The concept of marketing can be big and complex. However, the way Dr. Wayne Purcell, nationally known authority on agricultural commodities, has written his book is simple and direct. The farmer is the first link in the chain of events that becomes a marketing system. The final link is the consumer. An individual farmer has tremendous potential to improve his or her position by becoming better in marketing (more so than by still further improvements in production). This book is dedicated toward providing the basics and the applications that the individual will need. The focus here is on the marketing decisions of the farm producer: what does it take for that producer to make effective marketing decisions?; how important is it?; is this the way farmers can differentiate themselves from neighbors and make a decent income when others are struggling?; and how much potential is there if the farmer as a decision-maker starts to get as good in making wise marketing decisions as in making smart production decisions? As we become more nearly a global market, it is going to be increasingly important that the individual farmer, and farmers in general, become better marketers than they have ever been before. The potential is huge. The opportunities are before us. The need is to recognize that potential and those opportunities and go after them. This book is dedicated to helping you get there.

Tells how to develop a conservation farming plan. Defines soil compaction, examines its problems, then discusses how to avoid or overcome it. Text also covers erosion - its causes & solutions, with details for conservation compliance. Finishes with a discussion of organic matter & managing crop residue to increase organic content & reduce erosion. CONTENTS: soil fertility, tillage systems, soil compaction, erosion, crop residue management, factors affecting crop yields, conservation planning, managing compaction, erosion control methods, & determining residue cover.

Soil Management

Farming continues to be one of the most rapidly changing businesses. New and larger equipment with technologically advanced systems demand greater expertise from machine operators. Although the new equipment is usually more productive with greater capacity, the manager must be more skillful in order to obtain maximum advantage of the equipment while maintaining profitability. Conservation of farming resources while increasing production and maintaining profitability is a challenge many farm managers face. The natural resources critical to farming are soil and water. Of these, soil is literally the foundation upon which the farm is built. For todays farmer to remain a farmer on the same land tomorrow, he must husband the soil. The price of land has risen and fallen during the past few decades, but the soil itself is priceless and irreplaceable. Once gone, soil is lost, and along with it the farmers hopes of remaining effectively productive and profitable. Topsoil is created very slowly, so the wise farm manager does everything possible to conserve and replenish it. Soil fertility and the amount of topsoil must be maintained. With the basic information in this book you can build a solid foundation of knowledge that can be used to make the most efficient and effective soil management decisions and keep your business competitive. We do not recommend specific tillage practices as the answer, because each practice is not universally beneficial. We do however suggest you consider tillage methods that recent soil science has proven effective. Each farm manager must evaluate this information then create a conservation plan specifically for each individual farming operation.
