WGONSOCKET July 15 Special The average rate for soil conserving payments under the 1936 farm program is 7.20 per acre for Sanborn County. Judy, chairman of the county committee, notes rates vary by land productivity and farm terms. County average applies to diversion from central soil-depleting crops like corn, oats, wheat, and barley. different rates apply to sugar beets and flax. Maximum caveat on the payment base exists.
The article describes two farm payments: class 1 payments tied to acreage and production, and class 2 soil-building payments for farmers following approved soil-building practices. Eligibility may include one or both payments, with class 1 rates set by comparing a farm’s appraised yield of its main soil-depleting crop to the county average. For example, a corn farm with 18 bushels per acre vs the county average of 20 determines productivity as 18 to 20.
