Organic milk production has been one of the fastest growing
segments of organic agriculture in the United States in recent
years. Despite the growing number of organic dairy operations, the
characteristics of organic dairy operations and the relative costs
of organic and conventional milk production have been difficult to
analyze. This study, using 2005 ARMS data for U.S. dairy
operations, which include a targeted sample of organic milk
producers, examines the structure, costs, and challenges of organic
milk production. The analysis addresses economies of size, regional
differences, and pasture use in organic milk production and
compares organic and conventional milk production costs. The
findings suggest that economic forces have made organic operations
more like conventional operations and that the future structure of
the industry may depend on the interpretation and implementation of
new organic pasture rules.
Hog production in 2004 was characterized by wide variation in the
types, sizes, and economic performance of operations. Operations
specializing in a single production phase generated more than three
times the product value, on average, of those using the traditional
farrow-to-finish approach. Low-cost operations tended to be larger,
located in the Heartland, and operated by farmers whose primary
occupation was farming. Small and medium operations far outnumbered
large and very large operations, but large and very large
operations accounted for most of the production. Average production
costs declined as the size of the hog operation increased, a result
of reduced capital costs and more efficient input use. Hog
production was highly concentrated in the Heartland, but the
largest operations were specialized hog finishing units in the
Southern Seaboard.

The chapters in this volume deal with timely issues regarding
democracy in theory and in practice in today's globalized world.
Authored by leading political philosophers of our time, they appear
here for the first time. The essays challenge and defend
assumptions about the role of democracy as a viable political and
legal institution in response to globalization, keeping in focus
the role of rights at the normative foundations of democracy in a
pluralistic world. Through an examination of key topics of current
relevance, with contrasting views of the leading theorists, the
chapters address the most relevant theories and forms of
globalization, traditional democratic paradigms and their limits,
public deliberation and democratic participation, the moral hazards
of imperial democracy, and the future of liberal democracy. In
addition to suggesting new perspectives on democracy, they use the
current debate on justice, human rights, sovereignty, and cultural
relativism to shed light on enduring questions about politics,
culture, and global development. This timely and provocative
collection will be of interest to anyone concerned with democracy,
human rights, global justice, economic development, poverty,
international law, peace, and various aspects of globalization.
