While simple in concept, attempting to roll the farm income support features of existing commodity programs and conservation payments into a single program raises questions. Exactly how would farm commodity and conservation payments be combined? What difference would it make for environmental gain and farm income support? This report approaches the questions in two ways. First, spending patterns in existing commodity and conservation programs are analyzed to determine the extent to which producers who are currently receiving commodity payments also receive conservation payments. Then, a number of hypothetical program scenarios are devised and analyzed to estimate how emphasis on current income support recipients would differ from a combined program that focuses on achieving cost-effective environmental gain. The results show that policymakers face significant tradeoffs between environmental (conservation) objectives and farm income support objectives in designing a program that provides both income support and environmental gain. 505 0 $a Summary -- Supporting farm income and the environment: can a single program do both? -- Existing conservation and income support programs: different purposes, different payments, different producers -- Green payment program design: a matter of perspective -- Producer participation: doing the math -- Green payment program design tradeoffs: do income support and environmental gain go well together? -- Conclusions. 500 $a Also available on the World Wide Web. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (p. 26-27). 650 0 $a Agriculture $x Environmental aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Agriculture and state $z United States 650 0 $a Agricultural subsidies $z United States. 650 0 $a Agricultural conservation $z United States 650 0 $a Farm produce $x Economic aspects $z United States. 700 1 $a Aillery, Marcel P. 700 1 $a Nickerson, Cynthia J. 710 1 $a United States. $b Economic Research Service. $b Economic Research Service. 830 0 $a Economic research report (United States.
