TextPublication details: Winnipeg, MB : 1992. University of Manitoba,Description: ii, 51 p. ; 28 cmSubject(s): Online resources: Abstract: An economic study of land use modification was conducted by the Department of Agricultural Economics and Farm Management, University of Manitoba, during the past summer. Land use modification analyzed included permanent cover set asides, rotational grazing, zero till,minimum till, chemical fallow, green manure fallow, inter-pothole seeding, upland forage and delayed cut corage. This study surveyed 80 farmers in the NAWMP target area. They were selected from lists of farmers known to have adopted one or more of the land use modifications.Each farmer was interviewed to determine their crop and livestock yields and production practices both before and after adopting the land use modifications. An average additional net income of $13.27 per acre was realized on 47,042 surveyed acres for a total income improvement of $624,191. This benefit comes from the combination of an average increase in revenue of $5.14 per acre as well as a $8.13 per acre reduction in costs.
