Abstract
Erosion and sedimentation in agriculture has traditionally been thought to result in substantial costs to the producer implying that voluntary measures at soil conservation would be in the individual's and society's interest. The research reported here indicates that off-site sediment damages are far greater than the on-site productivity effects of erosion and that there is considerable justification for stronger public policies in this area. The development of the efficient production frontier reveals that conventional production techniques are quite inefficient compared to procedures that could be adopted.
