Abstract: A potential cropland supply function for the Mississippi Delta. Region is constructed under conditions of alternative product prices, crop rotations, factor costs, management levels, and discount rates with special emphasis on the conversion costs of woodland and pasture— land. The research funded by Resources for the Future will help provide a projection of regional resource use in U.S. agriculture and form the basis for projected expanded input use and the resulting environmental pressures of'such expansion.
