Soil bank plan debated with two part approach
The administration proposes an acreage reserve and a conservation reserve to reduce production and raise prices. Farmers may join either program with cash payments, rental subsidies, and higher future prices, funded by surplus crop sales or stock dispositions.

Ground Covers Add Color and Low Maintenance to Gardens
Ground covers are low growing plants that spread across the ground to shade spots where grass won’t grow. University expert H R Kemmerer notes their ornamental value and year round foliage, with minimal upkeep once established, though they cost more than seed. Purpleleaf euonymus is highlighted as a good broadleaf option, growing about a foot high with light green summer foliage and reddish purple tones.
