Rules for AAA soil conserving program grants described
A county agent explains that participants must plant at least one acre of soil building crops for every acre of soil depleting crops to qualify for government payments. Farmers with large acreages must shift portions of cotton, peanuts, or other crops to soil building practices, with specific percentage limits and regional adjustments. The program aims to encourage a sound farming plan without loans, offering payments to offset sacrifices in shifting away from soil depleting crops.
