Abstract: A methodology is presented for developing a soil loss damage function to measure the on-site damage from soil erosion resulting from agricultural practices. The soil loss damage function is applied to evaluate a conventional farming practice and a conservation practice in the dry land wheat area of Idaho and Washington.
