An Economic Analysis of Agricultural Land Use Practices to Control Water Quality

James J. Jacobs and John F. Timmons

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1974, vol. 56, issue 4, 791-798

Abstract: Sediment and phosphorus losses to streams from crop and pasture land can be reduced through production practices. The associated abatement costs to farmers are substantial and increase rapidly as the sediment and phosphorus constraints become more stringent. Distribution of these costs is determined by the type of regulation established.
