Abstract
  • This study compares and evaluates wheat acreage responses among production systems in Oregon and Washington and between this region and estimated national average wheat acreage response. Oregon and Washington are disaggregated into five regions each on the basis of general similarity in soil, climate, substi­tute crops and production structures. Regional acreage response models that allow differential inter-structural and inter-regional impacts of the major provisions for wheat price support and wheat acreage set-aside and diversion are developed. Parameters of three functions (one each for total, irrigated, and dryland planted wheat acreage) utilizing pooled time-series and cross­-sectional data are estimated for each state. Government programs have little impact in Oregon, and only slightly more in Washington. The elasticity of acreage response with respect to market price differs from the national aver­age in all but one case. Finally, the implications of using the national acreage model, influenced by the preponderance of red wheat grown in the Wheat Belt, to predict Northwest regional white wheat acreage response are addressed.
