Land Management Programs for Agriculture in Southwest Georgia

Résumé du livre

Extract: Land and water uses for a 32-county area in southwest Georgia in 1979 were identified and projected to 1990. An "ongoing" and an "accelerated" land treatment program to reduce erosion and curb sediment delivery from cropland were evaluated. With a moderate expansion in irrigation, net returns for six major crops plus small grains in 1990 were estimated at $240.7 and $257.9 million per year with the ongoing and accelerated programs, respectively, compared with the 1979 base year net return of $159.4 million
