Abstract: One option for addressing agricultural NPS pollution is to retire cropland in problem areas. The USARM model is used to analyze national welfare costs of a retirement program. The results indicate that efficiency is increased if certain types of cropland are retired, rather than all cropland in designated problem areas.
