Quick Bibliography Series
Bibliographies in the Quick Bibliography series of the
National Agricultural Library (NAL), are intended primarily for
current awareness, and as the title of the series implies, are
not in-depth and exhaustive. However, the citations are a substantial resource
for recent investigations on a given topic. They also serve the purpose of
bringing the literature of agriculture to the interested user who, in many
cases, could not access it by any other means. The bibliographies are derived
from online searches of the AGRICOLA database. Timeliness of topic and
evidence of extensive interest are the selection criteria. Send suggestions
for Quick Bibliography on water-related topics to wqic@nalusda.gov
The author/searcher determines the purpose, length, and search
strategy of the Quick Bibliography. Information regarding
these is available from the author/searcher. The inclusion or omission of a
particular publication or citation should not be construed as endorsement or
disapproval. An author and subject index is provided along with the search
strategy.
PLEASE NOTE: Information on document delivery services,interlibrary loan
requests and copyright restrictions is appended to this bibiiography. If Quick
Bibliography files are copied and/or distributed, please include this

Abstract: Reviews of historical and organizational literature provide the
backdrop for a general discussion of citizen input into land-grant
universities and for a specific case study the Citizens Advisory/Oversight
Council of the Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems (CIAS) at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison. This strong citizens' council, established in
1989, took its form in response to institutionally structured fears among
university personnel, on one hand, and farmers and citizen groups on the
other. Each group's recognition that the other's concerns were legitimate led
to an acceptable resolution. We describe the principal characteristics of the
resulting successful CIAS Council that is composed of farmers and
representatives of the state's environmental community. Such councils
facilitate new approaches to integrating the craft and science of farming, and
for linking the production side of agricultural systems with policy issues.

quality; History; Standards; Water quality; Nutritive value; Purchasing habits
Abstract: The apparent conflict between what is scientifically known and what
is perceived concerning food acceptability by consumers provides an
interesting paradox. Some of the leading international contributions concerned
with organic farming system food products are thus reviewed in the light of
consumer beliefs and attitudes. It is concluded that, in a market economy,
consumer opinion will gradually prevail and that agricultural farming systems
will have to adjust to more extensive lower input farming approaches.

Descriptors: Food safety; Pesticide residues; Communication; Integrated pest
management; Consumer attitudes; Consumer information; Surveys; Demography;
Perception; Risk
Abstract: Risk communication theory is used to address consumer concerns
about food safety and pesticide residues. Risk perception is a function of
actual hazard and "outrage" factors. If concerns are acknowledged and
information is provided on how risks are being addressed, the outrage
component of perception is reduced. Two 2-min videos were prepared to present
information on the environmentally, responsive integrated management (IPM)
approach to farming. The video was shown to a total of 197 consumers in
controlled group settings. Although about 90% of participants expressed
confidence in the safety of produce grown in California and the United States,
40% said they avoided some produce items due to safety concerns. Pre- and
post-attitude assessments and group discussions documented a significant
change in attitudes toward food safety, farming practices, and university
efforts to help farmers. This project indicates that consumer concerns are
significantly reduced when their knowledge of IPM practices is increased.

Farmers' attitudes
Abstract: A survey of farm families in five states was conducted to determine
attitudes and practices regarding pesticide application and protective
clothing. Specific objectives included determining relationships among actual
risk factors, perceived risk, and precautionary activities as well as
identifying practices that needed modification in order to reduce risks
associated with use of pesticides. Some analyses suggested a positive
relationship between actual and perceived risk measures whereas others did
not. For example, the two states reporting the highest use of more toxic
chemicals and greatest incidence of health problems related to pesticide
application also accounted for the highest average ratings on the overall
perceived health risk scale. On the other hand, the majority of growers in
each state assumed that common work clothing protected them from dermal
exposure regardless of the formulation or application method they were using.
Although most growers reported following recommended practices such as wearing
gloves during pesticide application and storing pesticide soiled clothing
separate from other laundry, enough deviation occurred to indicate the need
for continuing education on pesticide hazards.

Abstract: A survey of farm families in five states was conducted to determine
current attitudes and practices regarding the removal of pesticides from
contaminated clothing. There was little evidence that respondents to this
survey have been obtaining available information regarding the care of
pesticide contaminated clothing. Even when the launderers did receive such
information, many did not adopt the recommended procedures with the exception
of storing and washing pesticide contaminated clothing separately and using
hot or warm water for washing. Families in which the launderer was under 30 in
age were least likely to obtain and use recommended care procedures. The
relatively low rate of information requisition and use, especially among
younger respondents, suggests a need for better information delivery systems
as well as more compelling appeals regarding the importance of using the
information once it has been received.

Abstract: Contamination of ground water from agricultural sources has been
documented in a majority of the contiguous United States. In this study, we
examine the potential for voluntary adoption of management practices that
reduce risk of ground water contamination and discuss how farm operators'
attitudes regarding the environment might affect the success of voluntary
programs. Farmers' behavior and attitudes in Rockingham County, Virginia, and
Big Spring Basin, Iowa, reveal that both groups consider the ground water
issue to be a serious problem to which they are contributing. This awareness
is a significant first step in prompting consideration of management practices
that reduce the threat to ground water quality. We also found that the worst
offenders"--that is, farmers applying nitrogen well above agronomic
recommendations--were those with the least concern about the problem. If major
shifts in farming practices are to occur voluntarily, major incentives or
disincentives are needed Even though the concern about ground water quality is
high, the documented risks perceived by farmers are not strongly convincing.
The economic incentives for change are questionable at best. Voluntary
adoption of best management practices is only one of several policy options.
Ultimately, policies designed to reduce ground water contamination may need a
mix of strategies, including economic incentives and disincentives, zoning and
land use restrictions, environmental regulations, and bans on agricultural
chemicals.

Abstract: The paper acknowledges the need for pesticide usage to boost
agricultural production and for disease control in Uganda and elsewhere in
Africa. But drawing from some instances of pesticide pollution so far reported
in Africa, the paper highlights the need for cautious use of the chemicals in
order to avoid further pollution. The need for using pesticides within the
framework of integrated pest management (IPM) is presented, but also presented
are results of a survey which indicates that quantities of pesticides used
continue to increase, and that the attitudes of farmers and extension workers
are still heavily weighted in favour of pesticide application alone. A number
of options that could be taken to inculcate IPM ideals and concepts among the
people are presented, emphasizing education and training, not only for farmers
and extension workers, but also for the youths most of whom are destined to
become the future farmers.

Abstract: This paper analyzes the potential for using a market to shift water
from irrigation to hydropower use in periods of low river flow in the Snake
River basin of Idaho. The water could be used for irrigation in most years but
in dry years would be very valuable for firming up electric power supplies. A
model of crop growth and water use was utilized to estimate farmer responses
and resulting farm income losses due to market-restricted irrigation water
supplies. Results indicate that estimated hydropower benefits are ten times
greater than estimated lost farm income, so the proposed water market should
be economically feasible.

Language: English
Descriptors: U.S.A.; Pesticides; Pest control; Chemical control; Industry;
Public opinion; Public relations; Urban environment
Abstract: The professional pest control industry feels that the public's
concerns about urban/suburban pesticide use must be taken seriously. The
industry is addressing these concerns by using the well-established concept of
risk communication--an approach that consists of giving the public open and
complete information about pesticide applications. As part of the industry's
risk communication program, it is promoting its support of reasonable and
responsible legislation, including a requirement for notifying the public when
pesticides are applied. It is also pursuing regulations requiring additional
education for all pesticide applicators. The industry believes this approach
will lessen the public's fear of pesticides, and make them feel more
comfortable about urban/suburban pesticide use.

Contamination; Health hazards
Abstract: While the hazards of chronic environmental pollution remain
unclear, people are making decisions about their exposure to pollution and its
possible effects on their health. To compare people's concerns about
environmental problems, a systematic, stratified sample was surveyed. The
sample was made up of residents, ages 25 through 74 years, of three areas of
New York State. The three areas were western New York, with a high density of
toxic dump sites; Long island, with a major shallow ground water aquifer; and
the remainder of the State, excluding New York City, as a comparison area. The
sampling list was obtained from records of licensed drivers of the New York
State Department of Motor Vehicles. A 66 percent response rate was obtained to
the mailed survey. As expected, most concerns were greater for western New
York and Long Island, the two areas with highest threat potential for exposure
or contamination, than for the comparison area. The single exception was that
no regional differences were noted for concerns about environmental pollution
and contamination. All concerns were associated with perceived distance
between one's residence and a source of potential exposure. Regardless of
region, women were more concerned than men about exposures, pollution, and
related health effects. No sex differences, however, were noted for economic
concerns.

Abstract: This paper reviews the risk potential of pulp mill pollutants to
humans, risk abatement strategies adopted by the pulp and paper industry and
their socio-enviro-economic implications. The deleterious impact of
dioxin-exposure on experimental animals is well documented worldwide. Though
their impact on humans is yet to be assessed. It is part of today's
conventional wisdom that the reduction and possible elimination of the major
sources of dioxin would be, pragmatically and economically, more
environmentally acceptable.

Abstract: This paper develops a Bayesian framework for discussing the role of
information in the design of non-point-source pollution control mechanisms. An
ambient concentration tax is examined, allowing for spatial transport among
multiple zones. Imposition of the tax requires costly measurement of
concentrations in selected zones, and the selection of zones for measurement
must be undertaken without perfect information regarding several parameters of
the problem. Potentially crucial information issues discussed include: (a) the
impact of asymmetric priors regarding fate and transport. (b) the cost of
measuring ambient concentration, and (c) the optimal acquisition of
information regarding fate and transport.

Abstract: Who do farmers trust? Irrigators in the High Plains are confronted
with a wide range of information source's with respect to water-saving
practices. From a survey of 709 irrigators in 10 countries the most widely
accepted sources are identified, regional variability or information is
examined, the role of irrigator characteristics on source selection is
determined, and the level of association between adoption and source
preference is analyzed. Differences in irrigators' reliance on specific
sources are more associated with location than irrigator characteristics.
Information sources viewed as important by many irrigators frequently
influence adoption decisions less than sources having a wide range of
preference among irrigators. Mass media and advisor-oriented sources are much
more significantly linked to adoption than inter-personal sources such as
friends and neighbors. The three sources that best discriminate adoption
behavior are private agricultural consulting firms, university research
stations, and trade magazines.

Abstract: This paper studies the production and attendant soil depletion
choices of a risk-aversion farmer in two related models. The first is a
two-date model with uncertainty in both production and end-of-period land
price. The second is three-date model in which production and consumption
choices are made in both periods, but there is uncertainty only in the second
period. In both models, the paper identifies plausible conditions under which
a higher level of initial farmer wealth and/or a lower level of production and
land risk lead to a lower level of output and, as a result, a lower level of
output-induced soil depletion.

Abstract: This study developed an intertemporal profit function to determine
optimal conservation adoption strategies under alternative scenarios with
respect to crop prices, relative yields, discount rates, and other
assumptions. Special emphasis was placed on determining from the analysis when
the switchover from conventional to soil-conserving practices should take
place. Technological change was incorporated by allowing crop yields to vary
over time. Our analysis thus provides a new, more precise measurement of the
cumulative net benefit differential. The optimal period for switchover from
conventional to soil-conserving practices was found to vary depending on the
assumptions made about corn Prices and discount rates. Empirical results were
based on an erosion damage function (EDF) for Western Kentucky corn
production.

Abstract: In this paper, data from a 1991 survey of Georgia residents were
used to study people's willingness to pay (WTP) for improvements in drinking
water quality and people's perceptions of potential groundwater contamination.
Results showed that 27% of the respondents served by public water supplies
rated drinking water quality as poor, and 23% were uncertain about their
drinking water quality. The contingent valuation method was used to estimate
WTP using a checklist format. The median estimated WTP was $5.49 per month
above their current water bills for people on public systems and $7.38 for
those using private wells, after rejecting outliers and using the maximum
likelihood method. The aggregate WTP for all of Georgia was estimated to be
about $111.5 million per year for public water users and 42.3 million per year
for private well owners. This aggregate WTP can serve as an estimate of
benefits to consumers from improvements in drinking water quality statewide.
