Boggess, W.G. | Heady, E.O.
Extract: This study assesses the potential of alternative policies to achieve simultaneously the dual goals of increased farm income and reduced soil erosion. Following the method outlined by Duloy and Norton, a national interregional separable programming model of the U.S. agricultural sector is formulated. Four alternative combinations of supply control and soil conservation policies are analyzed to ascertain their impact on regional farm prices and incomes, farm output, farm input use, and gross soil erosion.
