A clear, data-driven look at a general cropland retirement plan and what it could mean for farmers, land, and markets.
This analysis explains how retiring cropland could reduce production at a lower cost and what that would mean for prices, land values, and farm incentives. It focuses on costs, location of retired land, and how production would shift across crops and regions, using modeled scenarios and existing data.
- Learn how retirement could be implemented, including annual versus longer-term options and how costs are estimated.
- See which regions and crops would be affected most, and how remaining production might shift with new incentives.
- Understand potential impacts on land values, farmer behavior, and the development of new land.
- Get a grounded view of assumptions, limits, and what changes would be needed in current programs to enable such a retirement approach.
Ideal for readers of agricultural economics and policy, this edition helps readers weigh the practical and economic implications of a large-scale land retirement approach.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book assesses how a general cropland retirement program would alleviate the problem of agricultural surpluses by taking less productive land out of production at a minimum cost. The author examines the impacts of retiring either 50 million or 70 million acres of cropland. The analysis reveals that 50 million retired acres would cost $700 million to maintain annually, while 70 million would cost $1.2 billion. The author highlights the resistance to bringing new land into production which would undermine the efficacy of such a program, and the need for special provisions to ensure a balanced reduction of wheat, feed grains, and cotton. Overall, this book offers valuable insights into the complexities of agricultural land retirement programs and their potential consequences for farmers and consumers alike.
