Changes Revealed For Farm Program
The Agriculture Department outlined major revisions to the 1958 conservation reserve program of the soil bank aimed at boosting participation and forest and wildlife practices. Acting Secretary Marvin L. McLain noted enhanced tenant protections, higher potential payments for land devoted to forests, and longer contract options from 5 to 10 years for tree planting. The program remains open to all farmers, with signups anticipated in October once county ASC committees have farms. In supporting sections, the plan emphasizes full-farm retirement incentives and expanded use of forest cover. A separate note from Truro Ontario reports Mrs. Ralph Weir winning the world rocking chair championship after a 93 hour contest at the agricultural exhibition.
