County AAA Office Prepares to Announce Compliance Details
County AAA officials outline to township committees the 1940 farm program computations. Each farm’s acreages, corn and wheat allotments, soil building, parity and maximum payments are detailed on three forms with a farm photo. Farmers will receive one sheet and photo, return another with their compliance intent, and soon learn their required actions and payments. Compliance governs all payments as each soil depleting acreage and soil building target must be met by the farm.
