   A review of the history and some of the evolutionary processes of past soil conservation policies can lead to an improved understanding of the social objectives of the policy and the identification of trends that could affect future policy. The evolution of soil conservation efforts by the US government can be best understood by examining the Soil Conservation Service, the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, and the Environmental Protection Agency. The social objectives of soil conservation have changed significantly since the 1930s, with conservation itself becoming the primary goal, farm income supports secondary. However, policy instruments remain almost unchanged; adherence to technical assistance, conservation measures, and cost-sharing has continued, producing only an incremental evolution of policy. Nevertheless, program inefficiency, concern for water pollution, and fiscal austerity may lead to increased policy effectiveness through the use of targeting. Read less

   For soil and water conservationists this is a time of ferment. Throughout the conservation community old perceptions are being questioned and new policy directions debated. How important is the errosion problem? How much should we spend to deal with it, and how should we spend it? Do soil loss tolerance (T) values tell us what we need to know, either to advise farmers or to make policy? New concepts, or old concepts in new dress, have entered the debate-targeting and cross-compliance-and already they are having an impact on policy. Out of all this will likely come new perceptions of the erosion problem in the United States and how we as a society should respond to it. Here, the author sketches the outlines of these new perceptions and discuss the conditions leading the nation toward them. Read less
