Book Description
Texas is the leading U.S. producer of cotton, and the U.S. is the largest international market supplier of cotton. Risks and uncertainties plague Texas cotton producers with unpredictable weather, insects, diseases, and price variability. Risk management studies have examined the risk reducing capabilities of alternative management strategies, but few have looked at the interaction of using several strategies in different combinations. The research in this study focuses on managing risk faced by cotton farmers in Texas using irrigation, put options, and yield insurance. The primary objective was to analyze the interactions of irrigation, put options, and yield insurance as risk management strategies on the economic viability of a 1,000 acre cotton farm in the Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV) of Texas. The secondary objective was to determine the best combination of these strategies for decision makers with alternative preferences for risk aversion. Stochastic values for yields and prices were used in simulating a whole-farm financial statement for a 1000 acre furrow irrigated cotton farm in the LRGV with three types of risk management strategies. Net returns were simulated using a multivariate empirical distribution for 16 risk management scenarios. The scenarios were ranked across a range of risk aversion levels using stochastic efficiency with respect to a function. Analyses for risk averse decision makers showed that multiple irrigations are preferred, and that yield insurance is strongly preferred at lower irrigation levels. The benefits to purchasing put options increase with yields, so they are more beneficial when higher yields are expected from applying more irrigation applications.
Risk Management Strategies Using Seasonal Climate Forecasting in Irrigated Cotton Production

Book Description
Decision-making in agriculture is carried out in an uncertain environment with farmers often seeking information to reduce risk. As a result of the extreme variability of rainfall and stream-flows in north-eastern Australia, water supplies for irrigated agriculture are a limiting factor and a source of risk. The present study examined the use of seasonal climate forecasting (SCF) when calculating planting areas for irrigated cotton in the northern Murray Darling Basin. Results show that minimising risk by adjusting plant areas in response to SCF can lead to significant gains in gross margin returns. However, how farmers respond to SCF is dependent on several other factors including irrigators' attitude towards risk.
