County Agent Reports Georgia Acreage Reduction Campaign
The 1984 1935 acreage reduction campaign hinges on farmer legal support and cooperation not selfishness. Many Georgia farmers may increase acreage under the contract while receiving rent, averaging 1928 to 1982. rentals based on that average. Texas farmers reduce more, but Georgia shows exceptions. The goal is to reduce acreage and benefit all cotton farmers by lowering supply and stabilizing prices. A 48 county survey shows higher yields and income from orderly plowup efforts, with Sumter County reporting over 100000 dollars in seed loans and plowing up cotton. Statewide agricultural towns show 80 to 100 percent business increases since 1932. Schools remain open and bank deposits rise as confidence returns under the blue eagle program.
