While the farming community is facing a heavy loss in the cultivation of crops such as paddy, sugarcane and turmeric, vegetables, particularly the small onions, give them a significant return. The income from the vegetables helps the farmers to meet their living expenses. This study is purposefully conducted as termed as Case Study in Thiru. Duraimurugan, [Mobile No: 078454 16243] farmer in Village of Kanmaniyapuram, Kadayanallur Taluk, Tirunelveli District. The case study revealed that, the benefit-cost ratio is 1:1.4 that means, if the farmer will spend one rupee the profit is rupee 1.4. In fact, that the farmer has been really struggling with the Break-Even Point. They face huge loss owing to poor yield. He must modify their production pattern and verify each cost component, which component to be minimize and which inputs might add to get higher profit with lower cost production.

Abstract Both artificial and living snowfences are used to protect roads from blowing and drifting snow. This article evaluates and compares the economic performance of three snowfence designs--the Wyoming and double-row slatted artificial snowfences and a three-row living snowfence. The economic analysis evaluates the snowfences by applying four economic performance indicators: total net benefits, present net value, benefit/cost ratio, and annual breakeven benefits. The study uses snow removal savings and accident reduction benefit information from a case study in the state of Wyoming. The case study results show all the designs are economically efficient when used for road protection. However, the living snowfence outperformed the other designs in three of the four economic performance indicator categories. The largest proportion of total costs of the Wyoming and living snowfence are establishment costs whereas the bulk of total cost of the double-row slatted snowfence is for maintenance. The economic performance of all the snowfences is most sensitive to changes in their useful or effective lives. The procedures and general conclusions of the study can be applied to similar cases elsewhere. West. J. Appl. For. 15(2):70-74.

The economic assessment of transportation projects is evolving from a reliance on user benefits (travel time, cost, or safety) to encompass a wider spectrum of potential benefits, fostered by advances in economics and recognition that different project modes deliver different portfolios of benefits. Sponsors develop projects to address specific problems in their communities. This progression in how investments are evaluated opens the door for projects whose outcomes span a variety of benefit categories rather than concentrating on traditional user benefits and permits an improved intermodal comparison of candidate investments. Transit and intercity rail projects are particular beneficiaries of the broader project assessment approach. This paper presents a case study of how a comprehensive approach to project assessment was applied to the Northern Lights Express project that would reintroduce passenger rail service between the cities of Minneapolis and Duluth, Minnesota, the state's largest economies. Owned and operated by BNSF Railway, Amtrak's service in the corridor ended in 1985. Six stations are planned: Target Field in Minneapolis; stations in Coon Rapids, Cambridge, and Hinckley, Minnesota; a station in Superior, Wisconsin; and Union Depot in Duluth. The goal for the analysis was threefold: ( a) to confirm that the investment would yield a positive return; ( b) to communicate with partners, stakeholders, and the public about the project's expected outcomes; and ( c) to contribute to the selection of an alternative. The benefit–cost ratio was estimated for eight alternatives that varied by physical alignment and service plan.

<p>Penguasaan lahan dan produktivitas kakao di tingkat petani masih sangat rendah sehingga berdampak pada rendahnya pendapatan petani. Kabupaten Kolaka merupakan salah satu sentra utama kakao dengan jumlah petani kakao sangat besar di Sulawesi Tenggara. Penelitian bertujuan mengetahui profil dan kelayakan usahatani kakao di tingkat petani. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Desa Atula dan Desa Dangia, Kecamatan Ladongi, Kabupaten Kolaka Sulawesi Tenggara pada bulan April sampai Juli 2012. Pengambilan data menggunakan metode survei dengan wawancara langsung terhadap 30 orang petani kakao yang diambil secara acak sederhana. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif dan kelayakan usahatani melalui analisis benefit cost ratio (B/C ratio), net present value (NPV), dan internal rate of return (IRR). Hasil analisis dengan discount factor 18% per tahun diketahui nilai NPV Rp19.646.384,00; B/C ratio 2,87; dan IRR 51% sehingga diketahui usahatani layak untuk diusahakan. Pendapatan petani Rp7.697.674,00/tahun (Rp641.743,00/bulan). Jika produktivitas tetap (773 kg/ha) diperoleh break even point (BEP) harga sebesar Rp8.043,00/kg. Jika harga tetap (Rp18.000,00/kg), BEP produktivitas adalah 345,5 kg/ha/tahun. Periode pengembalian modal pada tahun keenam. Hal ini menunjukkan usahatani kakao di lokasi penelitian dapat memberikan sumbangan pendapatan ke petani, meskipun dengan keuntungan relatif kecil. Berdasarkan analisis tersebut, luas areal minimal untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidup layak petani adalah 2 ha atau produktivitas di atas 1,5 ton/ha/tahun.</p><p>Kata kunci: Profil usahatani, pendapatan petani, kelayakan usahatani, kakao</p><p>Limitation of land tenure and productivity in farmers’ level causing lower farmers income. Kolaka District is one of cocoa main producers in Southeast Sulawesi with a large number of farmers. The objective of this study was to investigate the profile and feasibility of cocoa farming system in farmers level. The research was conducted at Atula and Dangia Village, Ladongi Subdistrict, Kolaka Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, in April to July 2012. Data was collected by survey method and direct interview with 30 farmers. Data was analyzed descriptively and feasibility analysis method with criteria of benefit cost ratio (B/C ratio), net present value (NPV), and internal rate of return (IRR). The result showed that cocoa farming system is feasible (NPV of IDR19,646,384.00; B/C ratio of 2,87 and IRR of 51%). Farmers income was of IDR7,697,674.00 per year (IDR641,743.00 per month). If the yield is constant (773 kg/ha), then price break even point (BEP) is IDR8,043.00/kg. If the price is constant (IDR18,000.00/kg), then BEP of yield is 345,5 kg/ha/year. This result showed that cocoa farming gives a relatively low level of income for farmers, eventhough it is feasible. Based on those analysis, minimum area of 2 ha per households of productivity or 1.5 ton/ha/yr required to meet income decent life.</p>
