Human Capital, Producer Education Programs, and the Adoption of Forward‐Pricing Methods
1994
Goodwin, Barry K. | Schroeder, Ted C.
Using a sample of 509 Kansas producers, we evaluate factors affecting adoption of forward pricing methods. We focus on producers' human capital accumulation and its effect on adoption of forward‐pricing techniques. Probit models are employed to evaluate producers' participation in educational programs and their forward‐pricing adoption decisions. Tobit models are employed to evaluate individual levels of adoption of these techniques in the marketing of wheat, corn, grain sorghum, soybeans, and cattle.
