Answer to Question 1

The land must be used within its capability. This determines the most intensive use to which the land can be
safely farmed

Answer to Question 2

Business decisions sometimes must be made for short-term purposes; making mortgage payments and paying the
bills require money in the form of profits. Maximizing short-term profits seldom results in ideal conservation
efforts. There is no simple answer to the last part of this questionit requires value judgments. The farmer
whose choice is between feeding the family and minimizing erosion is in a predicament. Farming for the future is
important. This approach will have the greater impact in the long run, but the present is important, too.
