摘要： A method is provided for use of an information management system to produce quotations and related information on optimized inputs and services for the production of food, feed, fiber, livestock, and the like, and to execute customized commercial service agreements including a performance guaranty or insurance policy. The system includes a database of historical input and service performance and a decision support system to optimize future performance. The commercial service agreement includes protocols for applying inputs, performing services, and assessing performance. Related information includes input management plans; savings, rebate or cost-share information, applications or credits; information or forms for permits or regulatory compliance; and emissions trading credits or executed trades. The system administers a remedy if performance standards are not met. This method has broad application to plant and livestock production in reducing nutrient and pesticide inputs and pollution, and in reducing economic risks for producers and input/service providers.

摘要： An insurance or warranty method protects financial interests of producers, such as farmers planting transgenic varieties of seed as a primary asset, who use proper refuges of similar but non-transgenic, secondary assets for maintaining a non-resistant pest population. Refuge acre methods, now sometimes called “refugia”, as such are recently known in crop pest management, but producers have had no effective incentive and much risk in using them. That is, losses in the refuge from pests, as to corn from European Corn Borers and others, are immediate and could be severe, whereas build-up of resistance to the related control technique is a long-term problem. Providing insurance as part of the cost of the primary production input, or as an add-on “technology fee” or the like, for protecting a set amount of the similar, secondary asset, removes the risks from the pest in producing secondary assets in the refuge. This method helps enforce refuge plan conditions such as size and location of the refuge in relation to that of the primary asset. This insurance or warranty method has broad application in pest control technique management, to genetically modified crops such as corn, soybeans, cotton, and the like and in animal husbandry such as in fish and shellfish farms and disease control in livestock management. It applies to other control techniques such as spraying with insecticides, and to many pests such as European Corn Borer, corn rootworm, corn ear worm, cotton boll weevil, Colorado potato beetle, and the like. When a claim for damage to a secondary asset in a refuge is to be adjusted, the insurance or warranty adjuster may check first for refuge condition compliance (and also can assess development of resistance of the pest species in the primary asset), and will then assess damage from the pest to the secondary asset. The decrease in yield times the crop price is determined and paid to the producer in cash at harvest time, in seed the following season, or in another agreeable fashion in accordance with the insurance policy or warranty terms.
