      abstract = {South Dakota has one-third of the 410, 000 wetland  acres
enrolled in the u.s. Conservation Reserve Program in  the 8th and
9th signup periods in 1989. The major  objectives are: (1) to
examine the major characteristics of  CRP wetland tracts, and
(2) to determine post-CRP contract  land use plans for CRP wetland
tracts. The major data  sources are the USDA CRP contract file
database for South  Dakota and a 1993 CRP survey of a random sample
of South  Dakota CRP contract holders.
The major physical, location,  and crop base characteristics of
2429 CRP wetland contracts  in South Dakota indicates a profile
conducive for returning  CRP wetlands to crop production after
contract  expiration.
Post-contract land use intentions are obtained  from a 1993 CRP
survey completed by South Dakota CRP  contract holders. Nearly 30%
(160 of 556) of respondents  have CRP wetland acres. Respondents
with CRP wetlands  intend to return 65% of their CRP acres and
nearly 40% of  their CRP wetland acres to crop production.  Several
implications for management, public policy and  research are
discussed.},
