英文文献摘要:
This paper explores how farm programs, watershed groups, and conservation decisions are related. In recent years, watershed groups have become a more important component of the decision process over the allocation of government subsidies focused on environmental improvements, and this research presents one of the first attempts to assess whether watershed groups have had an influence on landowner decisions. Three questions are addressed. First, we explore what factors influence landowner decisions to enter into government conservation programs. Second we consider factors that influence the adoption of conservation tillage. Third, we explore what factors influence farmer decisions to participate in watershed activities occurring near their farms. These questions are addressed with a survey of Ohio farmers conducted during the winter of 2004. The results indicate that watershed groups have had little influence on historically important programs like CRP and conservation tillage adoption, but that they seem to be having a more important influence in more recent programs and state and local programs. The results also indicate that conservation tillage decisions are mainly influenced by age, education, conservation compliance requirements, and attitudes. Surprisingly, owners appear less likely to engage in conservation tillage than renters.
本文探讨了农业计划、流域组织和保护决策之间的关系。近年来,在政府对环境改善的补贴分配决策过程中,流域集团已成为一个更为重要的组成部分。本研究首次尝试评估流域集团是否对土地所有者的决策产生了影响。本文提出了三个问题。首先,我们探讨影响土地所有者参与政府保护计划的因素。其次,我们考虑影响采用保护性耕作的因素。第三,我们探究了哪些因素影响农民参与农场附近的流域活动。这些问题在2004年冬天对俄亥俄州农民进行的调查中得到了解决。研究结果表明,流域组织对CRP和保护性耕作等历史上重要的项目几乎没有影响,但在最近的项目以及州和地方项目中,它们似乎具有更重要的影响。结果还表明,保护性耕作决策主要受年龄、教育程度、保护性遵守要求和态度的影响。令人惊讶的是,与租房者相比,房主似乎不太可能从事保护性耕作。
