Maryland Farm Front: 1960 Soil Bank acres exceed goal
A national total of 6,315,000 new acres were added to the Soil Bank Conservation Reserve for 1960, surpassing the yearly goal by more than 1 million acres. Maryland shows 18,290 new acres under contract, bringing the statewide total to 85,115. Nationwide, the Reserve will hold over 28.4 million cropland acres in 1960, with wheat areas expanding in many states. The increase reflects lower 1960 per acre payments and more economical conservation practices, and about 80 percent of Maryland participants chose a whole farm contract.
