Impact of Hail Suppression on Nebraska Crop Production: A Simulation Study

Abstract

A linear programming analysis was used to simulate effects of hail suppression on Nebraska crop production. Production costs and crop patterns in ten major land resource areas (LRAs) were estimated for 10%, 25%, and 50% levels of hail suppression effectiveness, and compared to costs and production distribution patterns without hail suppression. With hail suppression effectiveness of 50%, total production costs in the State would have increased less than ½ %. Corn production would have been 2% higher; wheat production, 3.7% higher. With hail suppression, production shifts of the same crop between LRAs were less than 2%. Hail suppression would not have caused substantial shifts of land use from one crop to another within an LRA. If hail suppression technology were widely used it could influence production of some crops enough to change price.
