Substitutability of Livestock Manure for Chemical Fertilizer: A Contingent Valuation Analysis of Crop Producers

Luter, Ryan L. ; Norwood, F. Bailey ; Massey, Raymond E.

The impact of new manure management regulations depends on the willingness of crop producers to accept manure. A contingent valuation analysis of crop producers was used to estimate the willingness of crop producers to accept or pay for manure. Results indicate that producers will pay a positive price on average, but some would require a payment before accepting manure.
