The Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics began deliberating upon rural development in early 1970. At that time the President's Commission on Rural Development issued its report, A New Life for the Country, and the Congress was considering various bills in support of better life for non-metropolitan residents. Two circumstances drew our attention.

Interventions in rural development projects vary in their likely time to impact. Some offer rapid payoffs after minimal learning and investment, while others offer larger payoffs but entail delays and may require learning or significant investment of labor and capital. Short-term impacts included reductions in stored grain losses due to improved silos and increase in household savings due to increased participation in savings groups. The least poor are most likely to invest labor and capital in slow-to-accrue payoffs like soil erosion abatement from building conservation structures. Our results suggest that targeting project interventions by asset level can enhance impacts.
