Overplanting Relaxed for Cotton Farmers in 1942
Earl N. Martindale, Hempstead County Triple-A chair, announced new rules permitting overplanting by no more than three acres or three percent. Farmers exceeding allotments won’t need to destroy excess to receive conservation payments and may obtain federal loans on total production. They are urged to shift excess land to oil crops, poultry, dairy, pork, and beef, and can plant cowpeas later to conserve land and fertilizer.
