Non Technical Summary
Representative beef cattle ranches and dairy farms maintained at Texas A&M will be simulated under historical risk conditions for alternative farm policy scenarios to indicate the effects of proposed farm policies on producers. Purpose of the project is to provide information to Congress, producers, consumers, and commodity groups as to the consequences of alternative options for the 2008 farm bill and increased production of biofuels.

Goals / Objectives
The primary objective for FY09 is to use the representative farm data base to analyze questions from the House and Senate Agricultural Committees related to implementing the 2008 Farm Bill. Specific objectives are: - Analyze the economic consequences of implementing the 2008 Farm Bill on the continued competitiveness of the U.S. livestock and dairy industries and respond to questions from the House and Senate Agriculture Committees. - Analyze the economic consequences of implementing NAFTA, GATT, and other trade agreements on the U.S. livestock and dairy industries, as well as providing analysis of new trade proposals (at the farm level). - Analyze the economic consequences of changing agricultural policies in the European Union, Mexico and South American countries on the U.S. livestock and dairy industries. - Analyze the farm level impacts of alternative risk management programs and management/marketing strategies proposed for dealing with the increased price risk resulting from the Farm Bill. - Continue the process of updating and maintaining the representative dairy and beef farms and the AFPC farm simulation model so they remain useful for farm policy analyses. - Host a conference to communicate the results of analyses to policy makers, producers, producer organizations, policy researchers, extension specialists, and the general public.
Project Methods
Representative beef cattle ranches and dairy farms data base maintained at Texas A&M will be used with the farm level income and policy simulation model (FLIPSIM) to analyze the effects of policy changes. The FLIPSIM model is the recognized model for conducting Monte Carlo simulation analyses of policy impacts. The policy analyses will be done in a risk context so probabilities of economic viability can be estimated. Results will be stated in terms of the change in economic viability given a policy change.

Progress 09/01/09 to 08/31/12

Impacts
The Agricultural and Food Policy Center (AFPC) at Texas A&M University develops and maintains data to simulate 97 representative crop, dairy, and livestock operations in major production areas in 27 states. The chief purpose of this research is to project those farms' economic viability by region and commodity for 2012 through 2017. The data necessary to simulate the economic activity of these operations is developed through ongoing cooperation with panels of agricultural producers in selected states. The Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) provided projected prices, policy variables, and input inflation rates in their January 2012 Baseline - DAIRY FARMS: Thirteen of the 22 dairy farms are in good overall financial condition. Six are considered to be in marginal condition and three are in poor condition. BEEF CATTLE RANCHES: Ten of the 12 cattle ranches are classified in good financial condition, one is in marginal condition, and one is projected to be in poor condition. The 2012 baseline shows a slight deterioration in the financial conditions of the representative dairies; however, the majority (62 percent) of the representative dairies are classified as good in 2017. The percentage of cattle ranches classified as good increased slightly under the 2012 baseline.

The 2011 baseline shows a slight deterioration in the financial conditions of the representative dairies; however, the majority (52 percent) of the representative dairies are classified as good in 2016. Milk prices are projected to rebound significantly from a low of $12.83/cwt in 2009 to 16.31/cwt in 2010. Milk is expected to reach a study period high of $18.87/cwt in 2016. The percentage of cattle ranches classified as good increased slightly under the 2011 baseline. Feeder cattle prices are projected to steadily increase from a low of $1.02/lb, reaching $1.36/lb by 2014.

Impacts
Under the January 2010 Baseline 16 of the 34 representative livestock and dairy farms modeled were in good financial shape. Higher milk and beef prices relative to 2009 contributed to the improved economic health of the representative livestock operations. The financial rankings relative to their liquidity and equity are presented here. - Dairy farms: Sixteen of the 22 dairy farms are in good overall financial condition. Five are considered to be in marginal condition, and one is in poor condition. - Beef cattle ranches: Six of the 12 cattle ranches are classified in good financial condition, five are in marginal condition, and one is projected to be in poor condition. An analysis of the economic impacts of the House bill for Cap and Trade (HR 2454) was conducted for the 34 representative livestock farms. The results showed that dairy farms and beef cattle ranches would be worse off financially unless they sell large quantities of feedgrains as a secondary enterprise. The study considered that farms could receive carbon credits if they switched to no-till farming practices, or put in methane digestors for treating animal waste, and that crop prices will change due to land use changes, energy input prices will increase, and the production costs of no-till farming will change due to using more chemicals and reducing diesel consumption. Higher grain prices led to higher feed costs and lower profits for dairy farms and cattle ranches. Income from carbon credits did not offset the effects of higher energy and feed costs. The full report is available on the www.afpc.tamu.edu website.
