Plans for 55 County A C P Program in Jones County
Jones county farmers will learn about the Agricultural Conservation Program for 1955 as leaders outline plans to share costs for soil and water practices. County extension director Joe Legg says the program aims to protect soil and water resources by supporting practices farmers would not undertake without aid. The plan emphasizes cost-sharing only for needed practices and only where performance is satisfactory. The program focuses on expanding conservation on existing production land rather than bringing new land into use.
