Abstract: That farmers impose uncompensated costs on other members of the society is not news. The list is familiar: water quality impaired by eroded soil, fertilizers and pesticides and, in irrigated areas, salts carried by irrigation return flow; air pollution from wind erosion; and, perhaps, diminished productivity because of erosion.
