%0 Journal Article %A David E. Ervin %T Soil erosion control on owner-operated and rented cropland %D 1982 %J Journal of Soil and Water Conservation %P 285-288 %V 37 %N 5 %X 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. %U https://www.jswconline.org/content/jswc/37/5/285.full.pdf
