Resumen
Descripción
This study uses a bivariate probit model with partial observability to examine Louisiana
beef producers’ awareness of the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and
how awareness translates to application to the program. Results indicate that awareness of
and application to the EQIP depend on portion of income derived from off-farm sources,
extent of previous best management practice adoption at one’s own expense, household
income, farmed land that is highly erodible, contact with Natural Resource Conservation
Service and extension service personnel, and producer age.
