Agricultural Conservation: Status of Programs That Provide Financial Incentives

  Premium   Download PDF Now (52 pages)
Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date April 28, 1995
Report No. RCED-95-169
Subject
Summary:

The Agriculture Department (USDA) administers 17 programs that provide financial incentives to farmers and ranchers who use conservation measures. Under 10 of the programs, USDA helps defray the cost of implementing conservation practices through direct payments or low-cost loans. Under the other seven programs, USDA purchases easements or rents land in order to retire it from agricultural production. The incentive-based conservation programs are intended to encourage voluntary efforts to reduce soil erosion, lessen water pollution, enhance fish and wildlife habitat, and address other conservation concerns. This report provides information on these incentive-based programs since fiscal year 1992, including information on their budget and level of activity and on the primary purpose of the conservation measures taken under the programs. GAO also identifies potential options for consolidating these programs.
