TY - JOUR T1 - Soil erosion control on owner-operated and rented cropland JF - Journal of Soil and Water Conservation SP - 285 LP - 288 VL - 37 IS - 5 AU - David E. Ervin Y1 - 1982/09/01 UR - http://www.jswconline.org/content/37/5/285.abstract N2 - Soil erosion control on rented cropland can present special problems for existing and new conservation programs. A variety of reasons may combine to constrain landlords and tenants from practicing soil conservation to the same degree that owner operators do. Data from Monroe County, Missouri, show clearly that there is less erosion control on rented cropland than on cropland operated by the owner. Effective erosion control on rented cropland, therefore, will require special features in new conservation programs, such as differential cost-sharing provisions for tenants. ER -
