| When all strategies received conventional market prices, 4-year cropping sequences had greater net returns than 2-year sequences, and the organic input, 4-year strategy had the highest net return. Adding 50% of the estimated organic premium, the 4-year, organic strategy dominated all low- and high-purchased input strategies. |

| The objective of this paper is to improve our knowledge of how the traditional goals of income and risk reduction may affect farmers' choice of production methods especially those that are more environmentally sensitive. The distribution of net cash flows for alternative crop production methods or strategies were estimated. These distributions were compared to predict whether the traditional goals of income level and risk avoidance will be at odds with environmental goals or whether farmers can find production strategies that support both types of goals. Previous studies have used average yields and conditions to find that alternative tillage systems have lower costs that conventional systems (e.g., Smolik, Dobbs, and Rickerl; Weersink et al.) Salin,... |
