Description of Research & Extension program
The main focus of the economics program is to help agricultural producers manage risk. The emphasis is to develop decision-making tools and provide training for agricultural producers who manage the financial, marketing, production, and human resource risks associated with ornamental nursery, Christmas tree, berry, grapes, fruit, nut and vegetable crops. This is accomplished by developing cost of production and cost of establishment studies. This information serves as the foundation to assess the profitability and feasibility of growing and establishing crops and implementing technologies that increase efficiencies and minimizes environmental impacts.
