Conservation Highlights of 1962 Louisiana ACP Participation
In 1962 some 17 000 Louisiana farms used conservation practices under the ACP with 4 237 new participants. USDA cost shares totaled about 4.2 million dollars, matched by farmers' labor and costs. Over 8.5 million was spent conserving soil water and wildlife statewide. The spring was among the driest on record with rainfall about 26 percent of normal in the south central region. The Emergency Livestock Feed Program offers corn and grain sorghum at favorable prices to eligible farmers facing feed deficits. Eligibility requires livestock ownership for at least six months prior to the program’s announcement and a financial disadvantage due to natural disaster.
