This uncertainty is due in part to the unknown level of acceptability <br /> <br />of the measures planned, as well as the extent of implementation which will occur. The <br /> <br />estimate of the benefits to be derived are based on our past experiences and data <br /> <br />obtained through interviews with landowners and the sponsors within the watershed. <br /> <br />Some of this work will be accomplished with farm labor. The availability of this type of <br /> <br />labor will have an imp3ct on the cost and extent of certain practice application. <br /> <br />The economic atmosohere surrounding agriculture will have a bearing on how much <br /> <br />and how fast conservation treatment is attained.
