Eisenhower Cuts Big Soil Bank Budget
President Eisenhower trimmed 25 cents from his budget for the coming year by reducing funds for the soil bank program. The cut in the 1,254,000,000 soil bank program lowers it to new total for the fiscal year starting in July, citing smaller farmer sign ups and postponed payments plus reduced operating costs. The program, begun last year with congressional approval, pays farmers to set aside land to offset income losses.
