Abstract
The study on which this analysis is based was concerned with the socio-economic factors that prevented erosion control in western Iowa from coinciding with goals of erosion control programs. Information was obtained by personal interview from 138 farm operators and 49 nonoperating owners of farms in the area in 1957 in a continuing investigation of the obstacles preventing adoption of erosion-control practices and of possible remedies for these obstacles. The same sample of farms had been included in two previous studies in 1949 and 1952. Data from these three studies were used to analyze the effects of changes in obstacles to erosion control on changes in soil loss.
