Land Tenure and the Adoption of Conservation Practices: Do Renters Make Operating Decisions Like Owners?

Abstract: Agricultural land is a primary asset in a farm operation, and whether operators own or rent may affect their decisions to adopt conservation practices. For example, operators on rented fields might approach soil conservation differently because the lease might be terminated before they see the long-term effects and benefits of those practices on soil health.
