NORTHEAST SOYBEAN ACREAGE RESPONSE USING EXPECTED NET RETURNS

Northeastern Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 1991, vol. 20, issue 01, 9

Abstract: Expected prices and expected net returns from cropping activities are used to estimate soybean acreage response in the Northeast. Futures prices and lagged cash prices constitute proxies for price expectations. Expected net returns appear as good or better than expected prices for estimating acreage response. Short-run and long-run elasticities of soybean acreage with respect to expected net returns from soybeans are estimated as 0.5 and 1.6 for the northeast region. Soybean acreage appears less responsive to changes in expected net returns than to expected changes in prices.
