Average Soil Conserving Payment Rate For Mills County
The average rate of the Class 1 soil conserving payment for Mills County under the 1936 farm program is 13.60 dollars an acre, with variations by farm productivity. Mr. Wearin notes rates depend on land productivity. more productive farms receive higher payments and less productive farms receive lower payments. The county average applies to diversions to soil conserving crops from general soil-depleting crops, up to 15 percent of the soil-depleting base acreage. Class 2 soil-building payments exist for farms following approved practices, and farmers may qualify for both. The Class 1 rate is determined by comparing the farm’s most important soil-depleting crop yield to the county average, using representative crops to gauge productivity. An example compares a farm with 36 bushels per acre to a county average of 40, yielding a 90 percent productivity figure and a proportional rate.
