A Return-Risk Analysis of Southern Row Crop Enterprises and the Sod-Based Rotation

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: This study examined the expected returns and risks for traditional row crop production systems in comparison to a new experimental sod-based rotation system in the Southeastern Gulf Coast region of Alabama. The sod-based rotation system involved a rotation sequence of two years of Bahiagrass with cattle grazing followed by peanuts then cotton. A Target Minimization of Total Absolute Deviations (MOTAD) model was developed to examine the return-risk relationships of six enterprise alternatives. The results of this study indicated that a sod-based rotation system was more risky and produced less returns than the traditional peanut-cotton rotations in the study region.
