Abstract: Many Americans believe that farmers place great value on stewardship and accordingly follow sound environmental practices. This belief has become a stumbling block to developing policies that address environmental issues. The stewardship myth, having evolved from the earliest days of our nation has many outmoded elements. Belief and behavior diverge for several reasons, none of which is unique to agriculture.
