Rural Development and Agriculture

At the State University of Ponta Grossa (UEPG), among the extension activities that promote interaction between students and the community is The Ohio Program, started in 1979 to support students seeking international experience. In order to return a systematic study to the communities that welcomed them, the extensionists were challenged by farmers to compare the cost and profit of producing canola (Brassica napus var oleifera) and corn (Zea mays) in the United States of America (USA) and in Brazil. The 2012 canola harvest numbers in the states of North Dakota (USA) and Paraná (Brazil) were compared, while the corn data was collected in the states of Kansas (USA) and Paraná in the 2016/17 harvest. Canola cost and productivity were higher in the USA, however higher profit was achieved on Brazilian land. Regarding corn, higher cost, productivity and profit occurred in Brazil. Our results highlight the Brazilian agricultural vocation and the need for rural extension that includes the peculiarities of the agricultural environment, overcoming geographical and language barriers.
