MILWAUKEE, Jan. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Many studies have considered the relationship between crop insurance and individual conservation practices. A new study considers the relationship between crop insurance and a broad set of conservation practices, as well as developing a unique approach to use survey data to measure the environmental impact of nitrogen that also accounts for a producers' yield goals. The research is one step forward in conducting analysis that looks at the broader set of production and conservation practices on farms, as well as actual environmental impacts.

Key Points: 
  • MILWAUKEE, Jan. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Many studies have considered the relationship between crop insurance and individual conservation practices.
  • In the new article " Farm Heterogeneity and Leveraging Federal Crop Insurance for Conservation Practice Adoption " featured in the Applied Economic Perspectives & Policy, Jennifer Ifft from Kansas State University and Margaret Jodlowski from The Ohio State University, dig into if farm that use crop insurance have different conservation practices and more or less nitrogen use, relative to other farms.
  • The authors say, "Many current and proposed policies aim to use the Federal crop insurance program to leverage adoption of conservation practices.
  • However, our analysis also suggests that farms that more intensively use crop insurance may be more responsive to financial incentives, which could accelerate adoption."
