Abstract

A previous study of the problems of controlling soil erosion losses on a sample of 144 farms in western Iowa indicated that several factors, largely economic in nature, were usually responsible for the failure of farm operators to use the practice necessary to reduce soil losses. Built upon the findings of this earlier research, the purpose of this second study was to examine further each farm situation and to determine whether changes in these obstacle factors were responsible for corresponding changes in the rate of soil loss.
