FIELD OFFICE TECHNICAL GUIDE
Section V Conservation Effects
This section provides a placement area for case studies or
producer experiences. The case studies display the effects on all of
the decision maker's concerns, not merely those that are related to
resolving resource problems. They are developed from observation and
documentation of experiences of the planner as well as those of the
decision maker.
Producer Experiences
Section V stores data developed from real- world experiences as
opposed to modeled results. This subsection contains:
-
-
- Other Effects Information
Producer Experiences
This subsection contains case studies of resource situations
where conservation has been successfully applied. Potential
clients frequently base their decisions and actions on the
successes and failures of their neighbors. Field office personnel
will accumulate case studies that represent common resource
situations found in their service area.
Effects and Impacts
The effects of the conservation treatment options will be
documented as to their outcome. The differences between those
effects and the effects of the present system will be noted as the
impacts of the conservation treatment option. Completed case
studies can be used to illustrate what the conservation treatment
option can do for the resources on a particular soil type and
resource use situation. Other land users with similar enterprises
on similar soils may adopt resource management systems based on
the documented impacts of the system.
Other Effects Information
Other sources of experimental data should be included in this
subsection such as watershed documents, experiment station
research reports, field trials, demonstration farms and government
or university work. These may provide effects information while
case studies are being accumulated and will always be useful
references.
