      abstract = {A Heckman's two-stage method is used in conjunction with  data from the 1998 Agricultural Resource Management Study  to estimate the likelihood of adopting a variable rate  application technology (VRT) and the impact of such  adoption on the per-acre costs of fertilizers and lime in  cash grain production. Results highlight the importance of  operator's level of human capital and attitude toward risk,  along with size and location of farm in impacting VRT  adoption decisions. Results also indicate no significant  cost-savings attributable to VRT adoption.},
