  • Crutchfield, Stephen R.

Abstract

Agricultural production in the United States has an off-farm environmental impact. This paper examines the impact of agricultural externalities on U.S. water resources. Also discussed are policy options for controlling agricultural contamination, issues relevant to these policy options, and an agenda for further economic research.
