ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF AGRICULTURAL POLICY REFORM: AN INTERREGIONAL COMPARISON [PDF]
Mathematical programming results revealed that moving toward more flexible agricultural policies would generate substantial economic and environmental gains in a North Carolina diversified cropping region. But in a Washington-Idaho dryland grains region,

Non-inversion tillage in organic arable cropping [PDF]
, 2008 The opportunities for using an non-inversion tillage (NI) approach in organic systems has not been well investigated by research and what research has been done has not perhaps been sufficiently long-term.

GOVERNMENT POLICY, WIND EROSION, AND ECONOMIC VIABILITY IN SEMI-ARID AGRICULTURE: THE CASE OF THE SOUTHERN TEXAS HIGH PLAINS [PDF]
The 1996 farm bill challenges agricultural producers to pursue conservation objectives while allowing flexibility and reducing subsidies. The nature of this challenge for semi-arid rainfed, wind-erosion-prone agriculture is explored via a behavioral ...

Mathematical optimisation of drainage and economic land use for target water and salt yields [PDF]
Land managers in upper catchments are being asked to make expensive changes in land use, such as by planting trees, to attain environmental service targets, including reduced salt loads in rivers, to meet needs of downstream towns, farms and natural ...

Legacy Effects of Cropping System and Precipitation Influence the Core Camelina sativa Microbiome
Phytobiomes JournalCamelina (Camelina sativa L.) is a potential biofuel crop and beneficial rotation crop in dryland cropping systems. Little is known about camelina microbiota or the legacy effect of soil origin/cropping system zones on camelina-associated microbiome ...

Estimation of USLE crop and management factor values for crop rotation systems in China
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2015 Soil erosion on cropland is a major source of environmental problems in China ranging from the losses of a non-renewable resource and of nutrients at the source to contamination of downstream areas. Regional soil loss assessments using the Universal Soil
