The new federal farm plan for Brazos County may rest unproductive land and pay farmers for diverting cotton acres. Owners can receive about five dollars per acre plus potential gains from growing soil building crops like legumes and soybeans, with payments limited to 35 percent of cotton base. The program aims to boost fertility and profitability by shifting land from cotton to beneficial crops.
