    Agricultural Leasing Study
    (2015-07) Haynes, George W.; Smith, Vincent H.
    This study describes crop-share and cash leasing arrangements in Montana for calendar year 2013 by surveying land owners, who own dry and irrigated cropland and grazing land. A dataset containing names and address of all land owners in Montana was provided by the Department of Revenue’s Property Assessment Division. A sample of 880 land owners selected from this population completed the telephone implemented by the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at the University of Montana. Faculty members in the Department of Agricultural Economics and Economics at Montana State University were responsible for developing the questionnaire; conducting personal interviews with landlords, tenants, and real estate agents; and, analyzing these data.

    (2014-10) Fuller, Kate B.; Smith, Vincent H.; Haynes, George W.
    The 2014 Agricultural Act was signed into law on February 17, 2014 by President Obama. The Act, widely referred to as the 2014 farm bill, introduces major changes in many aspects of U.S. farm programs that have important implications for farm owners and farm managers in Montana. Under the provisions of the 2014 farm bill, several long- standing farm programs related to farmers’ risk management, which have been widely used by Montana farmers and ranchers, have been terminated or are being phased out, while several new programs have been introduced.

    The 2007 Farm Bill: Montana Producer Preferences for Agricultural, Food, and Public Policy
    (2007-02) Johnson, James B.; Haynes, George W.; Brester, Gary W.
    The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 provides the direction for federal agricultural, food, and public policy through September of 2007. The 2002 Act is the most recent in a series of comprehensive farm bills that have authorized federal farm programs. When the 2002 Act expires, new legislation will guide future programs. In the absence of new legislation, federal farm programs could revert to permanent legislation dating from 1949. The presence of permanent legislation helps provide the impetus needed to insure that agriculture, food, and rural policy issues will be addressed by Congress and by United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) programs.
