National and Regional Implications of Conservation Compliance
分析1985年《粮食安全法》中保护合规政策对国家和区域的影响，探讨土壤侵蚀标准与农场收入之间的权衡，为政策制定者和农业经济学家提供参考。
Soil erosion as an on-site problem received much attention in the 1985 Food Security Act (FSA), which established programs for the Conservation Reserve and conservation compliance. The 1985 FSA explicitly linked farmers' resource use and conservation activities to benefits received from commodity programs. Much debate has ensued on erosion standards for compliance and farm income trade-offs. Farm-level uncertainties about meeting conservation compliance standards and about the trade-offs between limiting soil loss and maintaining farm income are evident. The objective of the analysis described herein was to provide information on national and regional implications of conservation compliance.
