Erosion Program Closing Date Set As August 31
Kern County farmers are reminded that the AAA 1940 soil-building and erosion control program closes August 31. The final windup, with practices required to qualify for payments, centers on actual soil conservation done. J R Bright notes costs vary but the payments may influence adoption of needed conservation work. Last year Kerr County saw 26 553 acres of new alfalfa and 6 538 acres of green manure and cover crops, with 1940 projections to surpass those totals.
