Soil Control: State or Federal Debate Heads to Hearings
Congress prepares for a clash over whether the soil conservation program should be run by states or the federal government. A House Agriculture Committee hearing on Rep. Harry D. Cooley's bill would transfer authority and 10,500 staff from the federal program to state land grant colleges, with federal grant funding to help states pay. Proponents from the Farm Bureau argue state control could improve results, while opponents say states lack experience. The current federal program operates with a $39 million annual budget and 10,500 staff, having prepared plans for 476,128 farms on 131,855,608 acres of farmland.
