Abstract
This paper develops the methodology used to investigate the
pricing efficiency of farm level corn prices in a minor surplus
production area (Western New York) located Within a much
larger regionally deficit, producing area. The results Indicate that
from January 1975-June 1976, farm level corn prices in Western
New York were not competitively efficient. However, Western
New York corn prices were competitively efficient after mid
June 1976. A conclusion is that Western New York corn prices
became competitively efficient after two new relatively large
buyers located in the area.
