Abstract

The financial impacts of a hypothetical cross-compliance program were estimated for seventy-six farmers in Gibson County, Tennessee. Several federal program benefits were compared to the least-cost method of achieving one of four different soil displacement limits to determine if the costs of voluntarily participating in a cross-compliance program were greater than the benefits. If cost-sharing were available, farmers would have a positive incentive to cross comply to 5 tons per acre per year on 57.3 percent of all fields. This figure rises to 90.9 percent compliance at 20 tons per acre per year.
