Two Changes In Soil Bank Policy Announced
The Clare County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee outlined two changes to the 1960 Soil Bank Conservation Reserve. First, basic annual rates will follow the 1959 contract method, and second, farmers have until October 9 to apply, instead of September 30. The changes reflect a new law eliminating dependence on 1955–59 crop production for rate setting, basing 1960 rates on land productivity and value, with caps at 20 percent of land value and not exceeding the 1959 basic rate for the farm.
