      abstract = {This study investigates reasons for adoption of best  management practices (BMP), crawfish farmers’ participation  in the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), and  economic impacts of BMP adoption using data from a 2008  survey of crawfish producers. Most-cited reasons for BMP  adoption are farmers’ perceptions of increases in profit  and long-run productivity. Land tenancy, education,  double-cropping or crop rotation, and proximity to a stream  influence EQIP participation. Perceptions of economic  profits depend on the practices used. Participation in EQIP  negatively impacts farmers’ perceptions of profitability  from adopting BMPs. The results underscore the importance  of economic incentives in promoting BMP adoption.},
