MODELING MULTI-FARM SPATIAL INTERDEPENDENCE USING NATIONAL DATA COVERAGES: A REGIONAL APPLICATION TO MANURE MANAGEMENT

Aillery, Marcel P. ; Gollehon, Noel R. ; Ribaudo, Marc ; Breneman, Vincent E. ; Agapoff, Jean

A regional modeling framework using national data series is developed to estimate the net cost of land applying manure under new federal guidelines for manure management. The model, applied to the Chesapeake Bay watershed, integrates GIS spatial data within an optimization model to generate manure hauling distances and costs.
