Drought Forces Land Use Changes in Franklin County
Drought alters land programs as farmers rent land back from Conservation Reserve and similar retirement plans. About forty Franklin County landowners signed agreements to pay the federal government 2 to 3 dollars per acre for use of seeded land until January 1, 1964, enabling hay or pasture use. The USDA declared Franklin County a drought disaster area after local requests. The Disaster Committee includes Russell Wray Don Brown and Paul Archer. Landowners may sell use of released land but cannot charge more than 50 cents per acre above their release fee.
