Resumen
Descripción
Leasing of agricultural land is gaining in importance in North America. The impact of
leasing on soil management practices is examined in an area in the Canadan province of
Ontario. Prevailing land contracts are insecure and the rental land market appears to be
imperfect in the area. Under these conditions leasing leads to undesirable soil
management practices and consequently to a lower state of conservation and to lower
crop productivity over time. A difference in soil management and crop productivity has
been observed between owner-operated and rented land.
