1960 Conservation Reserve Sign Up Starts Next Week
Farmers may place crop land into the 1960 conservation reserve program by filing requests with their county ASC committee from August 24 through September 10. The basic annual per acre rate, set by the committee, depends on land productivity and local fair rental value, with a general rate 10 percent higher when all eligible land is offered. In Iowa, the basic per acre payment is 19.00 dollars, matching the 1958 program, and contracts may run up to ten years with annual rentals and cost sharing. The tentative goal is to place about 184000 acres under contracts starting in 1960.
