Johnson backs soil bank idea in 1956 farm bill

Rep. Lester R. Johnson of Wisconsin says a soil bank plan may be included in the 1956 farm legislation. He supports the concept of taking land out of production for grass or trees with payments per acre but opposes using diverted land for grazing. Johnson notes Secretary Benson now favors the idea, cites a Senate likely to adopt it, and cites a poll showing dairy farmers favor production payments and quotas. Wisconsin cash receipts fell to 821.711 million in the first ten months, while net farm income per farm dropped from 3596 in 1951 to 2666 in 1954.
