This article finds the optimal choice of tillage method and crop rotation for farmers who correctly anticipate the yield‐decreasing effects of soil erosion. Expected increases in crop prices lead to farming practices that are more conservation oriented. Higher relative prices for hay also lead to more soil conservation. A linear programming model of soil loss is presented for a watershed in Tama County, Iowa.
