Managing Risk in Farming: Concepts, Research, and Analysis
TL;DR: The authors provides a rigorous, yet accessible, description of risk and risk management tools and strategies at the farm level and provides never-before-published data on farmers' assessments of the risks they face, their use of alternative risk management strategies, and the changes they would make if faced with financial difficulty.

The Acquisition of Information and the Adoption of New Technology
Gershon Feder,Roger Slade +1 more
TL;DR: A dynamic model of diffusion of a new technology involving a variable input highlights the role of active information accumulation, which entails costs, and provides a possible explanation to the often observed lag in adoption of innovations by smaller farmers.
