Reagan conservation plan draws mixed praise in Midwest swing
The administration backs a 20 million acre soil conservation program to idle highly eroded cropland for 10 years in a bid to cut soil loss and bolster prices. Environmentalists praise steps but urge expansion to 30 million acres and revised terms. Critics warn it won’t repair deeply scarred land despite savings on price supports. Pilot bids as low as 27 per acre, average 40 to 50, with costs rising from past blocks.
