- Beef and the Bottom Line: The Effect of Value-Added Certification on Feeder Cattle ProfitabilityGarber, Ben; Alwang, Jeffrey R.; Norton, George W.; Bovay, John (Cambridge University Press, 2022-02-15)Data from 1,422 feeder cattle teleauction lots were used to assess the impacts on profitability of the Virginia quality assured (VQA) feeder cattle program. The analysis finds higher profits for VQA cattle due to their faster turnover and lower feed costs; however, certification does not have a significant effect on price received by producers. The analysis further suggests that the cost associated with production under VQA should be considered in addition to price effects studied in previous literature.

- Outstanding in the Field: Impacts of Public Small Grains Breeding in VirginiaGarber, Ben; Alwang, Jeffrey R.; Norton, George W. (Cambridge University Press, 2022-11)New production from public and exclusive varieties released by the small grains breeding program at Virginia Tech generated cumulative discounted benefits of $41 million from 2000 to 2018. Fitted yields from field trials were combined with acreage estimates to generate weighted average yields based on adoption of new varieties. Benefits were estimated as the value of additional production from the release and adoption of improved varieties. Public varieties were responsible for most program benefits. The program was found to have a significant impact in Virginia and out-of-state, with much of these benefits due to public-private collaboration.
