The reference to Mcintire was inadvertently omitted from the reference list. It should be: Mcintire, John. “Two Aspects of Farming in Central Upper Volta: Animal Traction and Intercropping.” ICRISAT Village Studies Rep. No.7. Ouagadougou, Republic of Upper Volta, 1981. The second group of errata are for errors in the May 1990 issue of AJAE, in article number 1, “Preferences of Citizens for Agricultural Policies: Evidence from a National Survey,” by Jayachandran N. Variyam, Jeffrey L. Jordan, and James E. Epperson.
