ACP Cost Sharing Expands in Iowa 1960 61
Iowa farmers increasingly used the federal cost-sharing conservation program ACP in 1960, with participation rising and expectations for 1961. Reports show 13 percent more farms adopted soil and water practices in 1964 than 1959, and 1960 cost-shares reached about 7.2 million dollars.
