Terracing payments aid need in Woodbury County
In counties with strong terracing need the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee may reserve funds for terracing payments. T L Willrich of Iowa State College notes Woodbury County adopted this plan last year. It helps ensure full Agriculture Conservation Program payment for terracing work independent of other practices and has improved farmer cooperation.

Farmers urged to complete terracing work and adopt set aside plan
Willrich notes that farmers with assurance will finish terracing this year rather than delaying. He stresses the need for a strong local interest in terracing before the use plan can succeed, enabling broader adoption of the set aside strategy.

1952 corn under price support exceeds farm storage limits
The 1952 corn under government price support stands at 26.89 percent of the year’s large crop. Farm storage bins with 220 ashers capacity are largely full since 1948. The SPA producer says ASI cannot absorb all 1953 corn even with new structures, prompting a resealing plan to hold at least 40 million bushels on farms. The government offers 15 cents per bushel storage allowance through July 31, 1955. Statewide county ASC reports show 130,524,114 bushels under farm stored loans.
