Soil Conservation Payments In ’49 To Be Much Increased
U S farmers in the Southeast may receive substantially more soil conservation payments in 1949 than in 1946 or 1948, with a $300 million federal request for the crop year. Experts say Southeast needs and the new formula should yield higher allocations, though initial 1949 figures won’t be set until Congress acts. Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and South Carolina show notable totals in 1948 and are expected to benefit from revised allocations.
