An assessment of economic damages from ozone to a set of representative midwest farms
1983
Brown, D.J. | Pheasant, J.
Extract: This study uses the Purdue crop budget linear programming model (REPFARM) to model a set of farms for sixteen corn belt regions. At this representative farm level, substitution between crops and the resulting farm income changes in response to yield changes can be clearly observed. Estimates of crop yield changes for six ozone levels in these sixteen regions were provided by the National Crop Loss Assessment Network (NCLAN). The representative farms are described and detailed acreage and income results are given in Part I. In general an increase in air quality above the current base levels associates an increasing soybean to corn price ratio with smaller shifts out of corn. Part II consists of crop price ranges and sensitivity of Iowa and Indiana Crop Acreage Mixes Under Alternative Ozone Levels to Changing Price Assumptions.
