• Pesticide Use in U.S. Agriculture: 21 Selected Crops, 1960-2008 (2014, background): “There is some evidence that crop insurance, including subsidized premiums, encourages producers to grow higher value crops and increase pesticide use (Wu, 1999; Claassen et al., 2011).”
• Recent land use change in the Western Corn Belt threatens grasslands and wetlands (2013, background): “Meanwhile, regional-scale studies of grassland conversion have been based on agricultural production statistics aggregated at the county level (3, 4), precluding large-area geospatial analysis of grassland conversion at farm to sub-county scales.”
