South Dakota Farmers to Get 12 Million under 1937 program
South Dakota farmers will receive about 12.009 million dollars in the 1937 Agricultural Conservation program, state chairman Harry M. Schooler announced. Secretary Henry A. Wallace said the plan mirrors 1936, offering payments for shifting land to soil conserving crops and for building soil. The program sets a 500 million dollar cap, uses soil-depleting bases to measure shifts, and guarantees a minimum payment of at least 20 dollars per farm for participants with eligible acreage.
