Emphasis Shifts to Soil Building in 1942 Farm Plan
Mahaska County AAA chairman Henry Veenstra announced that the 1942 farm program will stress soil-building practices with two payment types: one for approved soil-building activities and another for planting within special crop allotments. Rates depend on congressionally appropriated funds, with early announcements to aid planning. 1941 allotments largely carry over but without new allotments on some crops.

Farm allotments balance feed crops and soil use in 1942
Officials outline special crop allotments to stabilize feed grain production in surplus areas. Farmers may earn farm allowances by following soil building practices with rates of 70 cents per acre on cropland not in special crop allotments where none exist and 50 cents where such allotments are established. Noncrop pasture rates mirror 1941. A $15 forest tree planting incentive is noted.
