Soil Bank Pays Only for Surplus Crop Reductions
Washington officials clarified the soil bank plan for 1956 crops outlining payments will be made only for reductions farmers themselves make in surplus crops. No payments cover reductions caused by drought floods hail insects or other natural events. The rule narrows the program to crop reductions in wheat cotton corn peanuts rice and tobacco with payments tied to the estimated production eliminated. Secretary Benson said the program aims to secure a dollar of surplus reduction or conservation for each dollar paid and rejects covering disaster relief costs.
