Farms May Earn Higher Conservation Reserve Payments
Farmers with land already in the Soil Bank Conservation Reserve may qualify for increased 1959 payments if land productivity supports higher rates. Clare County rate rises to 10.50 per acre, national average about 13.50, with 5 year eligibility for full acreage in the program and a 10 percent incentive for putting all eligible land in the reserve. No changes to existing contracts.
