Over the past decade researchers and extension specialists
with the Columbia Plateau Wind Erosion/Air Quality Project and associated
agencies have identified and promoted adoption of best management practices
(BMPs) to reduce wind erosion and dust emissions in the Columbia Plateau.
This purpose of this study is to characterize the adoption of BMPs by
farmers, providing information not only on the level of adoption of
specific practices, but on the impact of other influences in the adoption
of BMPs, such as rainfall zone, crop rotation, and farm size.
