TY - JOUR T1 - Cost-sharing to promote use of conservation tillage JF - Journal of Soil and Water Conservation SP - 395 LP - 397 VL - 39 IS - 6 AU - Thomas F. Tice AU - Francis M. Epplin Y1 - 1984/11/01 UR - http://www.jswconline.org/content/39/6/395.abstract N2 - Agricultural Conservation Program cost-sharing for conservation tillage was made available to some Oklahoma winter wheat producers in 1982. Previous studies found that the primary deterrent to adoption of conservation tillage in the region was lower expected wheat yields, resulting in lower expected net returns. An average subsidy of $20/acre ($50/ha) should provide ample incentive to encourage producers to experiment with conservation tillage. ER -
