Abstract: The economic impacts of the conservation targeting program are analyzed for Harrison and Daviess counties, Missouri. Long-term soil productivity losses associated with erosion are estimated using a productivity index model. Physical losses in productivity are translated into economic losses and evaluated as present values. The present value of alternative conservation practices to farmers and society is estimated as well as the net present value of the conservation targeting program.
