Abstract:
The article defines the boundaries of a livestock farm in terms of corn production as the percentage of home grown corn to the total corn required. The results support the theoretical model: domestic corn production is increasing not only due to higher prices, but also due to higher price volatility.
Keywords:
farm boundary; make-or-buy; supply chain; transaction cost; vertical integration
