Mark your answer. a) T F Wisconsin s processing vegetable industry may be important in the state, but nationally it ranks quite low. b) T F To be eligible for Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE), the federal crop disaster aid program, farmers have to buy crop insurance. c) T F Crop insurance has become popular recently, but in 2010 it was still used for less than 50% of all corn and soybeans planted acres in Wisconsin. d) T F GRP is the most popular crop insurance policy in Wisconsin for corn and soybeans, especially for small farms. e) T F Average milk production per cow has been on an increasing trend in the U.S. since about 1930; for decades before then it changed little. f) T F People, Partners and Planet is a simple way mentioned in class to describe the three aspects of sustainability. g) T F Real (not nominal) prices for crops in the U.S. have been on a steady increasing trend since about h) T F The majority of those the USDA considers farmers receive commodity support payments, but they are a very small part of their annual income. i) T F A Life Cycle Assessment primarily estimates how much profit goes to each business entity along the supply chain during a product s life cycle. j) T F In Strategic Management, a goal should be specific, measurable, and have a deadline. 2) (3 pts.) Of the business entities discussed in class (sole proprietor, general partnership, limited partnership, C-corporation, S-Corporation, limited liability company), which do not provide some limited liability to the owners? 1
2 3) (17 pts. total) Provide short answers to each of the following questions. Mable and Patrick own a farm, with all assets owned as marital property with a right of survivorship under Wisconsin s marital property law. Among their assets are 50 raised beef cows currently worth $25,000 with a zero income tax basis because they deducted all the costs of raising them. Use this information to answer each question below. Give a brief explanation for each answer. 3a) (2 pts.) If Mable and Patrick gave the cows to George, what is George s income tax basis in the cows? 3b) (2 pts.) If George put the cows in his breeding herd for 24 months and then sold them for $20,000, how much gain or loss must he report on his income tax return? 3c) (3 pts.) Would George s gain or loss from the sale of the cows be ordinary income or capital gain and would it be subject to self-employment tax? 3d) (3 pts.) If Patrick died and then Mable gave the cows to George, how much income would George have to report if he sold them the next day for $25,000? 3e) (3 pts.) If Mable and Patrick contributed the cows to a C-Corporation in exchange for an ownership interest in the C-Corporation and the C-Corporation sold the cows the next day for $25,000, how much gain would the C-Corporation realize? i) (2 pts.) If the C-Corporation realizes gain from the sale, does it pay income tax on that gain? 2
3 ii) (2 pts.) If instead the C-Corporation returned the cows back to Mable and Patrick before the cows were sold, would the C-Corporation and/or Mable and Patrick have to pay income tax as a result of this transfer? 4) (5 pts) Explain what is meant by the theory called Cochrane s Treadmill as discussed in class. In particular, discuss the effect of new technology on real crop prices and farmer options to respond. 5) (5 pts.) In class we discussed the Cool Farm Tool, the Field-to-Market Field Print Calculator, and Healthy Grown as examples of agricultural sustainability assessment tools or standards currently used by farmers. Briefly describe the types of questions farmers answer or the types of information they provide and the sorts of output generated by these tools or standards. 3

6 8b) (6 pts.) A farm has 50 acres of wheat insured as one unit with an average yield of 70 bu/ac. i) (3 pts.) Suppose the farmer buys Yield Protection with a 60% coverage level. What is the per acre yield guarantee? What is the total yield guarantee for the entire 50 acre unit? ii) (3 pts.) Suppose half the unit yields 20 bu/ac and the other half yields 70 bu/ac.
