Resumo: | The effects of cropland slope, distance to surface water, farmers' risk attitudes, and farmers' nitrogen (N) fertilizer applications on potential N delivery to streams and costs of reducing N delivery were evaluated for a representative Virginia peanut-cotton farm.  Target MOTAD and generalized stochastic dominance were used to select preferred plans for different levels of risk aversion.  Costs of reducing N delivery were lower on farms where fields were located close to surface water, where N was overapplied relative to extension fertilizer recommendations, and where the operator was risk averse.  Cropland slope had less effect on cost of reducing N delivery relative to other factors.
