There are relatively few Federal environmental regulations that influence agricultural production in the US. However, many local and state environmental rules may influence the management practices on US farms as might interactions between urban population centers and agricultural producers. Detailed analysis of corn farms gives insight into these relationships and suggests that stringent environmental regulations could increase the likelihood of adoption of certain conservation practices, all else being constant, but that the interaction between urban populations has less of an effect on the adoption decisions.
在美国，影响农业生产的联邦环境法规相对较少。然而，许多地方和州的环境法规可能会影响美国农场的管理实践，城市人口中心与农业生产者之间的相互作用也可能产生影响。对玉米农场的详细分析有助于深入了解这些关系，并表明在其他条件不变的情况下，严格的环境法规可能会增加采用某些保护措施的可能性，但城市人口之间的相互作用对采用决策的影响较小。
