Abstract
This study investigates the determinants affecting producers’ adoption of some Best Management
Practices (BMPs). Priors about the signs of certain variables are explicitly accounted
for by testing for inequality restrictions through importance sampling. Education, gender,
age, and on-farm residence are found to have significant effects on the adoption of some
BMPs. Farms with larger animal production are more apt to implement manure management
practices, crop rotation, and riparian buffer strips. Also, farms with larger cultivated acres are
more inclined to implement herbicide control practices, crop rotation, and riparian buffer
strips. Belonging to an agro-environment club has a positive impact for most BMPs.
