The tables in Appendix B-1 indicate the total value of farming, ranching, and forestry in the region. Table B.1.1 through B.1.3 profile the economics of farming in the BNR region.
Livestock predominates over crop farming, and cattle predominate over other forms of livestock.
These figures are used in chapter 2.3 and 3.3 to compare agribusiness to tourism income, and in chapter 7.5 and 7.6 to estimate the costs to purchase or lease conservation acreage. B.1.4 through B.1.6 profile the economics of forestry in the BNR region. We also derive per acre gross and net income for timber. In addition, we found no direct measures of production expenses in the BNR watershed, so we assumed that the ratio of expenses to gross income was the same as that of livestock farming. We use the average per-trip economic benefits of travel to calculate the economic losses due to BNR pollution in chapter 4.4.
