Accomplishments

The SERA35 group engaged in formal presentation and discussion of current farm management research and extension activities in each of the states represented. Formal topics of discussion included: economics of rice drying, effectiveness of efficient irrigation practices for profitability and groundwater conservation, marginal cost of carbon abatement through afforestation of agricultural land , application of environmental clustering in crop insurance, estimation of irrigation water use efficiencies, agricultural economics extension programming, as well as a presentation on the Mozambique UA Service Learning Project.

Impacts

The basic goal of this activity is to foster increased communication and collaboration among agricultural economists in the mid-South working in the area of farm management. Impacts of this effort result in better information and analysis of issues impacting farm finances being made available to producer clientele groups in the region.
