Progress 02/01/10 to 09/30/14
Outputs
Target Audience: State agency personnel, agricultural producers and landowners, agribusinesses, consumers, taxpayers, faculty members at Oklahoma State University and other universities, extension professionals, and Congressional staff. Efforts include delivery of presentations, answering questions, and disseminating information through publications. Changes/Problems: The passage of the new farm bill was delayed until January 2014 which delayed the completion of the decision tool and the analysis. Commodity program enrollment was also delayed until 2015. As of 9/30/2014, the decision tool has been completed and the farm bill training program is underway. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? Information and training on farm bill programs was provided to OSU extension educators, area agricultural economists, government agency personnel, bankers, crop insurance agents, landowners, and producers. OSU extension educators used the information to help producers understand the new commodity and crop insurance programs. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? Results were disseminated in various professional outlets (conference presentations), fact sheets, websites, webinars, extension presentations, and SUNUP TV interviews. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?

What was accomplished under these goals?
Research on commodity programs in the 2014 farm bill assisted Congressional staff in farm bill deliberations. Analysis was provided to Congressional staff to assist with the development of new farm bill programs and examine the impact of new farm bill programs on producers. Models were developed to analyze the impacts of new commodity and crop insurance programs on the Oklahoma economy. A local, regional, and national level farm bill education program and decision tool was developed to provide information on new farm bill programs and assist producers with commodity and crop insurance decisions. Extension program participants gained additional knowledge about new programs. This research has created a large impact following the implementation of the 2014 farm bill and will likely result in a change of action from producers. Producers can use the decision tool to make decisions regarding commodity program and crop insurance enrollment. After the initial enrollment period for 2014 farm bill commodity and crop insurance programs, the impact of the farm bill decision tool and extension programs will be assessed. Initial outcomes include a potential change in knowledge of these issues in the research community. Further outcomes/impacts will be assessed as the research is disseminated through various extension and research outlets.

Target Audience: State agency personnel, agricultural producers and landowners, agribusinesses, consumers, taxpayers, faculty members at Oklahoma State University and other universities, extension professionals, and Congressional staff. Efforts include delivery of presentations, answering questions, and disseminating information through publications. Changes/Problems: The passage of the new farm bill was delayed until January 2014 which delayed the completion of the decision tool. A large farm bill extension program will take place in 2014. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? Information and training on farm bill programs was provided to OSU extension educators and producers. OSU extension educators used the information to help producers understand the new commodity and crop insurance programs. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? Results were disseminated in various professional outlets (journal articles, conference presentation), fact sheets, webinars, extension presentations, and SUNUP interviews. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals? A local, regional, and national level farm bill education program will be conducted to provide information on new farm bill programs. Decision tools will be developed to assist producers with commodity and crop insurance decisions. Impact Statement Research on potential commodity programs in the new farm bill assisted Congressional staff in farm bill deliberations. Extension program participants gained additional knowledge about potential programs in the new farm bill and key changes from the 2008 farm bill. This research will provide a greater impact following the implementation of the 2014 farm bill and will likely result in a change of action from producers. Producers can use the decision tool to make decisions regarding commodity program and crop insurance enrollment. After the initial enrollment period for 2014 farm bill commodity and crop insurance programs, the impact of the farm bill decision tool and extension programs will be assessed. Initial outcomes include a potential change in knowledge of these issues in the research community.

Progress 10/01/11 to 09/30/12
Outputs
OUTPUTS: The main objectives of this project include: (1) Improve our understanding of the impacts of government policies on the agricultural economy, with a particular focus on the 2012 Farm Bill, the 2008 Farm Bill, Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, and American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009; (2) Analyze the effectiveness of farm policies that are designed to manage risk with particular attention given to the interaction of various commodity policies in the Farm Bill and the economy-wide impacts of the new commodity programs; and (3) Disseminate results in appropriate professional outlets as well as Cooperative Extension programs. Outputs from this project are timely and new analyses were conducted over the past year relating to new proposed programs in the 2012 farm bill and the resulting impacts on the agricultural economy. Another focus during this project stage was the initial development of a web-based decision tool to help producers decide between new programs in the 2012 farm bill. Information relating to new farm bill programs in the 2012 farm bill was provided to producers and landowners at various extension meetings across the state. Information was also disseminated through policy newsletters and OSU SUNUP television interviews. In addition to the research focusing on farm commodity programs, additional research was conducted relating to conservation policy and food/nutrition policy programs. The 2012 farm bill may reduce the annual enrollment cap for Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acreage and many producers/landowners with expiring CRP contracts will be making decisions about the future use of the land. Many studies suggest that producers may decide to return the land to crop production. This research examined the economic feasibility of returning the land to crop production. The CRP research has been presented at the American Agricultural Economics Association annual meeting, extension material will soon be created, and two journal articles will be submitted. On the food policy side, the FDA has recommended that food manufacturers limit the amount of sodium in food products. This research examined the potential impact on Oklahoma food manufacturers if the FDA decides to implement a mandatory sodium reduction policy. The salt reduction policy research has been presented at the Food Distribution Research Society Annual Conference and the American Agricultural Economics Association Food Environment Conference. A journal article will be submitted on the sodium reduction research as well as a policy briefing article to assist policymakers. Additional research also examined the impact of the 2010 dietary guidelines on the agricultural industry. The dietary guideline research was presented at the American Agricultural Economics Association annual meeting. PARTICIPANTS: Others have not worked more than one month each on this project. TARGET AUDIENCES: State agency personnel, agricultural producers and landowners, agribusinesses, consumers, taxpayers, faculty members at Oklahoma State University and other universities, extension professionals, and Congressional staff. Efforts include delivery of presentations, answering questions, and disseminating information through publications. PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: No changes.
Impacts
Research on potential commodity programs in the 2012 farm bill assisted Congressional staff in farm bill deliberations. Extension program participants gained additional knowledge about potential programs in the 2012 farm bill and key changes from the 2009 farm bill. This research will provide a greater impact following the implementation of the 2012 farm bill and will likely result in a change of action from producers. Producers can use the decision tool to make decisions regarding commodity program and crop insurance enrollment. After the initial enrollment period for 2012 farm bill commodity and crop insurance programs, the impact of the farm bill decision tool and extension programs will be assessed. The CRP and food/nutrition research was just completed prior to the end of this project period. Initial outcomes include a potential change in knowledge of these issues in the research community. Further outcomes/impacts will be assessed as the research is disseminated through various extension and research outlets.

Impacts
Producers who enrolled in the ACRE program for the 2010 crop year will start receiving their payments in December 2010. Many Oklahoma producers signed up for the 2011 SURE program due to the extreme weather events in 2011. Producers will likely receive large 2011 SURE payments in 2012. Oklahoma livestock producers have received over $65 million from disaster assistance programs in 2011.

Impacts
Producers who enrolled in the ACRE program for the 2009 crop year received their 2009 ACRE payments in November 2010. The tool was widely used by Oklahoma Area Extension Specialists, County Extension Educators, and producers. For the 2009 ACRE program, Oklahoma had one of the highest participation rates in the country with over 12,000 producers submitting over 60,000 farm applications. ACRE enrollees collected an average of $45.00 per acre in Federal payments for the 2009 crop year, compared to around $15.00 per acre on acres enrolled in the DCP program. Overall, participating producers in Oklahoma received $100 million more income than had they not participated in the new ACRE program (after accounting for the loss in direct payments). This could lead to more than a $200 million increase in economic activity for Oklahoma (about 2.1% of state GDP). Producers and federal agencies have expressed appreciation for the decision tool and willingness of county, area and state extension educators to work individually to understand the alternatives and consequences with objective, scientific information and tools.
