ASC Committee Outlines Provisions of Conservation Reserve Program
The Marion County ASC outlines the Conservation Reserve, with first full-scale applications in 1957. Farmers may sign 1956 contracts by October 15 and 1967 contracts by March 15. The program pays about $12 per acre annually, with longer terms and possible cost-sharing for approved practices. Contracts restrict cropping and grazing, set a farm soil bank base, and tie eligibility to past allotments and base acreages.
