Thus, soil erosion is now a far worse problem than it has everbeen. This may represent
a significant threat to the future agricultural production in the region.
Increased soil erosion implies lossesboth for the individual and for society.There
are 3 potential sourcesof lossesfor the individual farmer: (1) crop production may be
expectedto decline and consequentlyfarm profit, (2) production costsmay bc expected
to increase, and (3) the value of agricultural land can be expected to decline in
proportion to increasedland dcgradation(Baffoe et al. 1987).Land dcgradalionhas
been shown to influenccthc valuc of land in this area (King and Sindcn l9t{t3).Thc
market has clearly rccognisedland condition,with better- conservcdland sclling for
higher prices.
Crop productivity is a function of soil resourceendowment,and managemcnt
practices.The soil endowmcnl is relativelystable,while the practiccscan oftcn be
changed.Therefore,the farmer is faccd with the problem of choosingwhich managcmcnt practicesto use in
