The importance of timeliness is investigated in the selection of machinery complements for double-crop wheat and soybean production in the southeastern coastal plain. An intertemporal stochastic simulation model was developed to generate probability distributions that were evaluated with...

A conceptual link among mean-variance (EV), stochastic dominance (SD), and mean-risk (ET), and Gini mean difference (EG) is established for determining risk efficient decision sets. The theoretical relations among the various efficiency criteria are then empirically demonstrated with a soybean...

Georgia peanut farmers have adopted Integrated pest management (lPM) on only a limited basis, although objective data indicate that IPM technology may be more efficient than conventional pest control strategies Users and nonusers of IPM hold different views pertaining to the consequences of...
