Agriculture and its Impact on Financial Institutions
[ send me this paper ]
15 pages.
Because of the uncertainty in the agricultural markets there is a
definite impact on the lending institutions that service them.
There are so many variables in the farming industry that there is
no guarantee from year to year that agribusinesses will be able
to keep up with loan payments if they have one or more years of
losses in a row. There is currently widespread controversy among
the agribusinesses and lending institutions on Capitol Hill as to
how best to cope with the problem. One such solution would be to
privatize lenders dealing with farm loans, and other solutions
run the gamut from asking farm lenders to diversify their
businesses to suggesting more emergency funding from the
government. It is the purpose of this paper to prove that while
farm lending can be a risky business it would serve no good
purpose and would be unfair to other businesses for government
emergency funding to be increased; lending institutions will need
to work out ways to deal with the agribusiness risk.
Bibliography lists 36 sources.

Alfalfa and 'Yellow Rocket' (Barbarea vulgaris)
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses the interaction between alfalfa crops and a common weed. The weed chosen for examination is Barbarea vulgaris, most commonly known as 'yellow rocket.' Yellow rocket is usually biennial or perennial with some plants flowering, setting seed and dying after their first growing season; reproducing only by seed but the seeds are notable for their ability to germinate with minimal soil requirements. Yellow rocket and other weeds reduce alfalfa production during establishment by competing with and choking out young alfalfa seedlings, invade established alfalfa fields, and reducing forage quality and yield. Several aspects of intervention and eradication are discussed. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
