Every producer is incentivized to produce for the absolute least cost. If that includes ruining the soil in the long term, than that's what you're incentivized to do. They get run out of business, so what? The ground is already ruined or destabilized. Maybe it shouldn't take tax incentives to make it happen, but it either takes a carrot to encourage preservation, or a stick to prevent it. Which would you rather have? I've spent my career trying to protect soil, leave some wildlife habitat, graze what I think needs to be grazed and farm what can be responsibly farmed. I've also done some custom work in my time, and it's sometimes rather shocking to see how people you respected farm.
