SCS chief backs sodbuster clause in 1985 farm bill
Peter C. Myers, head of the Soil Conservation Service, told Wisconsin delegates that the 1985 farm bill will likely include a sodbuster provision and a 43 million acre land conservation reserve. The sodbuster rule would bar farmers who cultivate marginal erosion-prone land from federal aid programs. Myers urged removing tax incentives tied to converting such land. The conservation reserve would pay farmers who keep sensitive tracts out of production.
