Extract: This study examines a comprehensive sample of farm and ranch landowners in seven Western Great Plains States. The sample is classified by land conversion activity between 1975 and 1977. More than 40,000 landowners (18 percent) in this area added cropland. The Northern Plains accounted for two-thirds of owners adding cropland. Operations adding cropland were of two types: new, expanding operations owned by younger, better educated, full-time farmers and established, speculative operations owned by older, less educated operators with a variety of nonfarm occupations. Soil erosion on land owned by those who converted land is little different than erosion on all land.
