      abstract = {This empirical study of conservation tillage adoption  relies on the logit model applied to fieldlevel
information  on agents’ attributes and county-aggregated measures of  agents’ choices. The
methodology treats the aggregated data  as an expected value—the area-weighted group average  of
individual probabilities of choosing conservation  tillage—subject to a measurement error. Using
2002 and 2004  data for Iowa, we estimate field-level costs of the  adoption of conservation tillage.
The results indicate that  adoption is significantly affected by soil characteristics  and crop rotation
and highlight the heterogeneity in  adoption costs when controlling for these characteristics.},
