Because of production’s dependence on increasingly erratic rainfall conditions, total market
conditions for maize tend to follow the direct impact of these rainfall conditions on production.
The situation is exacerbated frequently by the poor or non‐existent post‐harvest management
infrastructure and conditions in the country. The situation is such that even in periods of good
moisture conditions, inefficient storage systems often result in price pressures arising from glut
at harvest time and non‐availability towards the end of the season. …

KFMA Newsletters
As I write this, there are piles of grain on the ground in many areas of the state, market prices for grain below the cost of
production, uncertainty in the tax laws as we plan for the end of the year, reduced working capital and eroding debt
repayment capacity for many farms... all part of the current agriculture management environment. These are also
reminders to each of us of the importance of careful planning and consideration as management decisions are made.
Those of us working within the KFMA program and in the Agricultural Economics Department greatly appreciate the
efforts of those working on the farms and ranches of Kansas. We are thankful for the opportunity to provide farm
management information to farm decision makers through this newsletter and through delivery of the KFMA Program.
The KFMA motto is “Building Strong Relationships…Producing Excellence” and we desire to use this newsletter as a way
of building our relationship with you and to provide you with information that helps you achieve excellence. The KFMA
E‐Newsletter is sent quarterly throughout the year. This issue provides information on farm profitability, measuring
financial health, and the importance of understanding your farm’s current financial position and debt repayment ability.
Finally, we provide you with some guidance toward year‐end tax planning and management.
Further information can be found on the extension agricultural economics website at www.agmanager.info and the
KFMA website at www.agmanager.info/kfma. I would welcome any comments that you feel will be helpful for the KFMA
program to excel in our work with the farm families of Kansas as we seek to help you know your numbers, use your
numbers, and reach your goals. Till next time…

WRITTEN BY: NICOLAS E. QUINTANA‐ASHWELL … Introduction
Productivity measures the ability of producers to convert inputs into outputs. Productivity
growth occurs when more output can be produced with the same level of inputs, the same output can
be produced using less inputs, or a combination of the two. In general, productivity growth is linked to
competitiveness, economic growth and improved welfare. In particular, in a context of rapid global
population growth and economic expansion, coupled with increased environmental concerns and an
increasingly more limited ability to incorporate more acres into agricultural production; agricultural
productivity growth is one of the most important factors that will determine food availability and the
global ability to fight hunger among other issues. Productivity is closely linked to farm profitability,
which at the regional level has significant economic development implications. Productivity and
efficiency are closely related because improvements in efficiency result, necessarily, in improvements
in productivity. However, productivity may also improve “inefficiently'' due to technical progress.
The study conducted by Quintana‐Ashwell and Featherstone measures productivity growth
among KFMA members between the years 1993 and 2011 and analyzes to what extent the changes in
productivity are due to improvements in (operation) efficiency or due to technical progress.
Data and Methods
