The government offers cash or conservation material payments for converting cropland to tree farms under the Soil Bank conservation reserve. Payments average about 10 dollars per acre annually for 10 to 15 years, with up to 80 percent potential in some cases, plus future wood production for mills. Farmers are advised to apply early for seedling allocations and contact local Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation committees for details.
