Action: Statistical procedures are being employed to estimate statistical significant factors for adoption of the trichomoniasis vaccine by Nevada ranchers. Reports on adoption rates are being developed. A journal article is being developed. (Assignment continues.) 4: Client: University of Nevada NSF-EPSCoR group. Location of Project: State of Nevada Nature of Project: The development proposal for NSF-EPSCoR Solar Nexus Project has been accepted and research has been initiated. Action: The proposal was accepted and fourth year of a five year project is underway. A master’s thesis estimating the economic impact of restricted development due to Sage Hen habitat designation was completed. Two journal articles from this research are being developed. (Assignment continues.) Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute 5: Client: Location of Project: U.S., Western U.S., and State of Nevada Nature of Project: 1. Completed updating and re-estimating international crops model. Model re-estimation with current supply/demand, price, macroeconomic, and policy data. 2. November 2016 Preliminary International Crops Baseline. This is the annual fall preliminary run of the FAPRI baseline projections. Detailed tables are on the UCED website. 3. In October, the Nevada cow-calf, dairy, hay and grains outlook was developed by incorporating output from the August 2016 baseline update. The results of the outlook were disseminated via a series of podcasts on the University Center for Economic Development facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/ucedunr/ Nevada Agricultural Outlook Fall 2016: Intro Nevada Agricultural Outlook Fall 2016: Segment 1 (International and national economic trends) Nevada Agricultural Outlook Fall 2016: Segment 2 (Nevada’s hay and grains sectors) Nevada Agricultural Outlook Fall 2016: Segment 3 (Nevada’s cow-calf industry) Nevada Agricultural Outlook Fall 2016: Segment 4 (Nevada’s dairy industry) 4. We are also updating the Nevada state enterprise budgets that are utilized in creating input/output cost matrices and production functions that better reflect the Silver State’s true agricultural economy. These have been updated with cost data through 2014 and were utilized in water analysis this summer. Action: Continued updating FAPRI international crops model equations with recent data on supply/utilization, trade, prices, and policies. The new data was used to re-estimate the model. Price linkages were re-estimated to reflect recent prices. Individual country models were all revamped.
