This study evaluated the economic and environmental impacts of crop and land management practices in four watersheds in Manitoba, Canada. It analyzed the costs and benefits of practices like converting cropland to permanent forage, restoring wetlands, constructing small reservoirs and dams, installing holding ponds, and improving nutrient management. While practices like forage conversion and wetland restoration provided water quality benefits, their costs often outweighed private economic benefits to producers. Reduced fertilizer management on manured land did increase farm profits. The study aims to identify economically feasible locations for best management practices to reduce nutrient exports and meet water quality targets.
