24 Farmers Enter 1967 Crop Plan in La Crosse County
Twenty four La Crosse County farmers filed applications under the 1967 Cropland Adjustment program through December 21. County chairman Theodore Piske explains CAP aims to divert water-intensive acreages into long term conservation use or public projects. Signups began November 14, with payments based on acres diverted and yield per acre. CAP rates vary by crop and land productivity, from 50 cents per bushel for corn land to eight cents per pound for tobacco, and seven to eleven dollars per acre for other crops.
