  • Osteen, Craig

Abstract

Some farm programs. may encourage farmers to plant crops more likely to induce erosion without encouraging soil conservation practices. If that is true, the long-term productivity of the soil may be in jeopardy. This report examines the effects of agricultural programs dealing with foreign trade, price support and production adjustment, Federal crop insurance; dairy, and Farmers Home Administration loans on erosion and presents an agenda for empirical studies of the incentives.
