英文文献摘要:
America’s agricultural producers continue to age. According to the U.S. Census of Agriculture, the average age of farm operators increased from 55.3 in 2002 to 57.1 in 2007. During the same period, the Census shows a thirty percent decrease in the number of farmers under the age of 25. Young and beginning producers (YBPs) entering agriculture can be faced with high startup costs and the lack of land to own or rent. To address this potential shortage of future farmers, we propose a program for the Farm Credit System to assist YBPs by offering Farm Service Agency guaranteed loans. In this program YBPs are given concessionary interest rates in consideration for adopting conservation and recommended “best” practices. To gauge the impact of the loan program, crop budgets were developed for corn, cotton, rice, soybeans, and wheat prior to participation in the loan program and then budgets were developed to determine the impact on a YBP’s profitability on these five crops from the adoption of no-till, a crop rotation, or a no-till crop rotation. Results found that a YBP’s profitability per acre can be improved by participating in the loan program and the adopting either no-till, a crop rotation, or a no-till crop rotation.
美国的农业生产者继续老化。根据美国农业普查,农场经营者的平均年龄从2002年的55.3岁增加到2007年的57.1岁。在同一时期,人口普查显示25岁以下的农民数量减少了30%。年轻和刚起步的生产者(YBPs)进入农业可能面临高昂的启动成本和缺乏土地拥有或租用。为了解决未来潜在的农民短缺问题,我们提出了一个农业信贷系统项目,通过提供农业服务机构担保贷款来帮助YBPs。在这个计划中,ybbps可获优惠利率,以考虑采用保育及建议的“最佳”做法。来衡量贷款计划的影响,作物预算是对玉米、棉花、水稻、大豆、小麦之前参与贷款项目,然后预算是确定影响YBP的盈利能力这五个作物采用免耕,轮作或免耕轮作。结果发现,通过参与贷款项目和采用免耕、轮作或免耕轮作,YBP的每英亩盈利能力可以得到提高。
