      abstract = {By making adoption decisions on soil conservation  practices, agricultural producers play a key role in  reversing unintended consequences caused by soil  degradation. This paper studies two soil conservation  practices—diversified crop rotation (DCR) and integrated  cropping and livestock system (ICLS)—using survey data  collected from Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota  producers. We estimate a bivariate probit model to identify  factors affecting adoption decisions. Farmers’ requirements  for monetary incentives and values on soil health were  found to be important determinants of adoption behavior.  Geographic location matters, as North Dakota had the  highest DCR adoption rate yet the lowest ICLS adoption  rate.},
