Farmland rental and conservation practice adoption
Burnett, J Wesley | Szmurlo, Daniel | Callahan, Scott
This report explores patterns across cropland owner-operators and cropland renters in the adoption of conservation tillage, cover cropping, and six permanent structural practices (riparian buffers, filter strips, field borders, terraces, grass waterways, and contour farming). Data from the Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) (2011-21) on corn, soybeans, cotton, barley, and sorghum growers show little evidence of systemic differences in conservation practice adoption on owner-operated fields compared to cash-rented fields. Differences between owner-operated plots and share-rented plots persist for certain practices and regions of the United States. Using data from the Tenure, Ownership, and Transition of Agricultural Land (TOTAL) Survey, the report also examines how the institutional factors surrounding farmland rental markets challenge the notion that land renters are inclined to exploit long-term soil quality for short-term profits.
