Abstract

Over the past several decades, an increasing share of the agricultural supply chain is located beyond the farmgate, implying that some set of economic factors are influencing the location decisions of food and agricultural establishments. We explore the location decisions of several food and agricultural industries for employer and non-employer establishments by expanding on the empirical implications of Carpenter et al. (2021)’s demand threshold models. While Carpenter et al. (2021) focus on methods to estimate these industries’ demand thresholds using restricted access data, we focus on expanding the interpretations of their empirical research and explore additional industries along the agricultural supply chain using their refined methods. Results highlight the influential role of the Land Grant University system for specific establishment types, the importance of diverse industries within local economies, and the changing rurality of the agricultural supply chain.
