摘要：

We measure the significance of heterogeneous land quality in determining the efficacy of commodity program acreage reduction requirements in reducing farm output. Field-level analysis isolates the influence of land productivity from other factors to gauge the importance of the land decisions on slippage. Results from six North Carolina counties for 1985-88 show that yield increases from the diversion of low-quality land by individual farmers contribute relatively little to aggregate increases in average yield. The results are consistent with other studies finding that slippage is a result of interregional effects rather than of intraregional or intrafarm effects.
