Emphasis on finding the most cost-effective ways to reduce reservoir sedimentation is increasing. Biophysical and economic models for a large agricultural watershed are integrated to estimate the average and marginal costs of reducing sedimentation with an optimal combination of land management...

This study examines the economic potential of producing a wheat (Triticum aesitivum) and grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) rotation with three different tillage strategies compared to the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) in a semi-arid region. This research uses stochastic efficiency...

The economic potential of no-tillage versus conventional tillage to sequester soil carbon using either commercial nitrogen or manure for continuous corn production is evaluated. Results indicate which system provides the highest net returns, which system is preferred by risk averse decision...
