AAA Sets Program for 1940 Farm Support in Texas
The AAA announced its 1940 farm program in College Station promising alignment with times if war depletes supplies and taxes Uncle Sam’s land. It includes soil care funds, a $1.50 family garden payment, postponed acreage details, Texas wheat allotments, and county vegetable allocations. Small farms gain $20 minimum, with up to $30 for planting forest trees for wind breaks and soil conservation. Farmers in wind erosion areas must expand soil-building practices to maximize gains.
