Abstract

Excerpt from the report: Controlling erosion on the Nation's most erodible cropland and reducing the acreage of surplus crops depends more on how the Conservation Reserve Program is implemented than on the actual number of acres enrolled in the program. Choices must be made on how enrollment acreage is selected: choosing a definition of which lands are eligible, choosing the acreage allotment any given area (region, State, or substate) may seek to enroll, and choosing the most desirable cropland characteristics. How these three choices interact will determine the levels of erosion reduction, surplus reduction, and program cost.
