abstract

  • The value of improved climate forecasts to winter wheat producers is estimated. Two El Nio/Southern Oscillation based forecasting methods are compared.In most regions, a five phase approach is more valuable than the more commonly used three phase approach. Economic value and distributional aspects have implications for producers, policy makers, and meteorologists.
