Wallace Presents New Oil Conservation Program For Farmers
Secretary Wallace announced a voluntary 1939 soil conservation program with an estimated 712 million dollars in farmer benefits. The plan cuts total crop acreage by about 7 percent and sets new maximums for participating acres from 270 million to 285 million, subject to lower quotas due to reduced allotments. The program, distinct from mandatory quotas, will be explained in meetings nationwide before planting season with referenda planned next month on marketing quotas for cotton, rice, and tobacco.
