Soil Bank Halts Shifting To Other Crops
Washington reports the government will pay farmers 500 million dollars to cut acreages of surplus cotton wheat corn rice and tobacco next year under the soil bank retirement plan. A new rule requires harvest totals to fall below the two year average to receive payments, a change from this year. Congress set a 3000 dollar payment cap per producer, and a soil bank base will limit shifts among crops with penalties for excess harvests. Under secretary Morse notes the extra controls are regretted.
