Ag & Environmental Potpourri

by Levi Russell

As the cow herd in the US has expanded over the past few years, it's interesting to look at these changes at the macro level. David Widmar over at AgEconomists.com has a great discussion of the size of beef cattle operations in the US. Carl Zulauf at FarmDoc Daily looks at economies of size in the dairy industry and its implications for dairy support policies.

My UGA colleague Adam Rabinowitz discusses some important issues on row crop policy over at our new Food, Agriculture, and Resource Economics blog.

Matt Bogard summarizes some research on the effects of speculators on commodity markets.

Bruce Yandle provides a discussion of the situations in which businesses actually prefer more stringent regulations, specifically environmental regulations.
