Abstract: This article finds the optimal choice of tillage method and crop rotation for farmers who correctly anticipate the yield-decreasing effects of soil erosion. Expected increases in crop prices lead to farming practices that are more conservation oriented. Higher relative prices for hay also lead to more soil conservation. A linear programming model of soil loss is presented for a watershed in Tama County, Iowa.
