Abstract
  • This research analyzed the relationships of agricultural field burning policies, and other economic factors, with the quantity of land devoted to grass seed production in counties of the Willamette Valley, Oregon. The thesis describes the background of the grass seed industry, field burning and government policies concerning field burning in the Willamette Valley. Econometric models of acreage response to grass seed prices, prices of production alternatives, field burning limitations, and burning fees were developed for eight grass seed crops. A technique of pooling time-series and cross-sectional data was used to estimate the parameters of the models. Expost predictions of acreages were made for the purposes of model verification. The estimated parameters are discussed and some explanations are offered for the relationships.
