Motivation:
Paper was sent out for review quite fast. We received two review reports from external reviewers and a third one from an associate editor. Although the response was negative, all comments were very professional, well informed and fair. Definitely one of the best journals in the field of agricultural economics. However handling time could be faster. Waiting half a year for two review reports seems too long.

Motivation:
The paper was sent to 3 reviewers first. The reports were largely positive. However, the editor was not happy about the quality of these reports. So he decided to send the paper to 2 more reviewers, who later had negative opinion on the topic (largely not how the topic was handled by us) of the paper. Got a rejection at last. However, the entire process was relatively fast.
