Abstract

When a group of farmers joins together to jointly control pests, usual marginal conditions for optimal input use are modified. A study of North Carolina farmers vealed that farmer participation in pest management groups is significantly affected by the percentages of their acres planted in a time-competing crop, farm size, group price, extension service subsidies, expected crop yield, and the deviation between individual and group pest control demand levels. A maximum likelihood logit estimation procedure is used.
