Challenges and Opportunities for Extension in Drought Adaptation
Prolonged drought poses significant challenges for food and fiber production in the U.S. Southwest, where range livestock production has great economic and cultural significance. Sustaining rangeland agriculture in the region necessitates swift and nimble uptake of drought adaptations. While the Cooperative Extension Service serves as a promising resource to drought adaptation among ranchers, how Extension staff perceive their capacity to support…
Managing an arid ranch in the 21st century
Rates of ecosystem change are accelerating in rangelands, but development of technologies to detect and react to change is accelerating at the same time. New management frameworks, including novel ecosystems and Resist-Accept-Direct (RAD) provide new ways of thinking about management strategies. We describe how we are integrating several digital tools and new management frameworks on the Jornada Experimental Range as an example to help land manag…
Making research relevant
Public programs, strategies, and incentives to implement rangeland climate adaptation are more effective if they are tailored to local drought exposures, sensitivities, and adaptation opportunities. As such, local rangeland advisers who aid in climate adaptation are pivotal to the development of these resources. We hosted a virtual workshop with rangeland advisors to share results from our climate vulnerability assessment, gain their insight on f…
Snapshot of rancher perspectives on creative cattle management options
Spatio-temporal variation of crop loss in the United States from 2001 to 2016
Crop insurance loss data can illuminate variations in agricultural impacts from exposure to weather and climate-driven events, and can improve our understanding of agricultural vulnerabilities. Here we perform a retrospective analysis of weather and climate-driven reasons for crop loss (i.e. cause of loss) obtained from the Risk Management Agency of the United States Department of Agriculture. The federal crop insurance program has insured over $…
Productivity and Efficiency Analysis of Smallholder Maize Producers in Southern Ethiopia
This study was undertaken in southern Ethiopia to assess productivity and technical efficiency of smallholder farmers and identify factors that determine productivity and technical efficiency. It was based on the data collected from 385 randomly selected farmers. A normalized translog production function was employed to assess maize productivity and factors conditioning productivity. In addition, data envelopment analysis was used to determine th…
